Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to application of Progranulin as a biomarker in preparation of a product for diagnosing postmenopausal osteoporosis, and belongs to the technical field of biological detection.
Background
Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disease characterized by decreased bone mass, microstructural damage of bone tissue, resulting in increased bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture (World Health Organization WHO, 1940). Osteoporosis can occur at any age, but is most common in postmenopausal women. Postmenopausal osteoporosis, also known as type I osteoporosis, is caused by an imbalance in bone resorption and bone remodeling due to a decrease in postmenopausal estrogen levels, resulting in thinning or fracture of trabecular bone, an increase in cortical bone pores, and ultimately a decrease in bone strength.
Osteoporosis is an age-related bone disease. At present, more than 21 hundred million people (about 15.5 percent of the total population) are aged over 60 years in China, nearly 14 hundred million people (about 10.1 percent of the total population) are aged over 65 years in China, and the aged people are the countries with the largest absolute number in the world. With the aging of population becoming more and more serious, osteoporosis becomes an important public health problem in China. Early epidemiological investigations showed that: the prevalence rate of osteoporosis of people over 50 years old in China is 20.7 percent for female and 14.4 percent for male; the prevalence rate of osteoporosis of people over 60 years old is obviously increased, and women are particularly prominent.
Osteoporotic fractures (or brittle fractures) refer to fractures that occur immediately upon minor trauma or daily activity and are a serious consequence of osteoporosis. The osteoporosis fracture has great harm, is one of the main causes of disability and death of old patients, particularly postmenopausal women, and often brings heavy burden to the society. Postmenopausal women also do not always have postmenopausal osteoporosis, so it would be of great significance if patients who may have postmenopausal osteoporosis in the future after menopause could be screened for early intervention and treatment.
Currently, the detection of postmenopausal osteoporosis includes the detection and auxiliary detection of laboratory indicators:
A. the bone formation markers include serum alkaline phosphatase (A L P), serum Osteocalcin (OC), serum I procollagen C-terminal propeptide (P1C-propeptide, P1CP), serum I procollagen N-terminal propeptide (P1N-propeptide, P1NP), and the bone absorption markers include serum I C-terminal cross-linked peptide (serum C-terminal peptide of collagen type 1), S-CTX phosphatase, serum anti-tartaric acid phosphatase (CP-phosphate), and urinary tract C-terminal cross-linked peptide (CP 1C-propeptide of collagen type).
B. Auxiliary inspection: including bone density measurement and bone imaging examination. Commonly used methods for bone density measurement are dual energy X-ray absorption measurement (DXA), Quantitative Computed Tomography (QCT), peripheral QCT (pQCT), and Quantitative Ultrasound (QUS). The bone imaging examination comprises thoracolumbar vertebra, hip, radius far-end and right-side X-ray films and the like.
However, the above method has the following drawbacks: laboratory detection indexes are as follows: the biochemical indexes of the bone transition markers are influenced by a plurality of factors, and the specificity of osteoporosis detection by using the biochemical indexes of the bone transition markers is not enough, and the prediction of postmenopausal osteoporosis is not good; auxiliary inspection: the general examination object is already the patient with the advanced osteoporosis, and is not suitable for screening the patient with the early postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Detailed Description
The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the following figures and specific examples so that those skilled in the art may better understand the present invention and practice it, but the examples are not intended to limit the present invention.
Example 1: protein expression in bone tissue of postmenopausal women and correlation thereof with bone density
Materials: 65 postmenopausal female femoral neck fracture patients, bone densitometer, sps statistical software.
The method comprises the following steps: femoral neck fracture patients, inclusion criteria: menopausal women, unilateral femoral neck fracture, and joint replacement in need of hospitalization. Exclusion criteria: chronic liver and kidney diseases, metabolic diseases, tumors, blood system diseases, and patients who receive glucocorticoid, estrogen, calcitonin, bisphosphonate and the like for a long time. 65 patients were enrolled and signed an informed consent. In the course of joint replacement, a femoral head specimen on the affected side of a patient is collected and proteomics detection is carried out in cooperation with Hangzhou Jingjie biotechnology and science and technology Limited. Then, when the affected hip joint on the side of the patient is subjected to X-ray reexamination on the next day after the operation of the patient, the density detection of the bone on the neck of the femur (GE dual-energy X-ray bone densitometer) on the healthy side is carried out at the same time.
As a result: in proteomics results, it can be seen that there are many proteins expressed in bone tissues, and there are more than 80 proteins whose expression is abnormal in the groups of high bone density and low bone density. The invention focuses on the expression of the protein of the particle protein precursor (Progranulin) and the relation between the protein and the bone density, and is verified on animal experiments.
65 patients were classified into three groups of "normal bone mass", "reduced bone mass" and "osteoporosis" according to femoral neck bone density values. Proteomic results of three groups of patients the Progranulin protein levels were analyzed for ANOVA using SPSS software and were found to be statistically different between any two groups (P < 0.05). The above results indicate that the expression level of bone tissue Progranulin protein was decreased in the "decreased bone mass" group compared with the "normal bone mass" group, and that the expression level of bone tissue Progranulin protein was further decreased in the "osteoporosis" group compared with the "decreased bone mass" group (fig. 1).
Femoral neck bone density values and bone tissue Progranulin levels were correlated for 65 patients using SPSS software. The results show that the expression level of the bone tissue Progranulin is correlated with the femoral neck bone density value, namely the higher the expression level of the bone tissue Progranulin is, the higher the bone density value is; i.e. the lower the expression level of bone tissue Progranulin, the lower the bone density values (fig. 2).
Example 2: demonstration of a decrease in Progranulin gene expression after castration at the animal level accelerates bone mass loss
The method comprises the following steps: wild-type mice (WT) and Progranulin knockout mice (Progranulin-KO) at 2 months of age were taken, Ovariectomy (OVX) was performed to prepare an animal model of postmenopausal osteoporosis, and then the mice were sacrificed 3 weeks later, and a femoral sample of the mice was taken for Micro-CT detection. Mouse tibia specimen is decalcified, embedded in paraffin, sliced and TRAP stained.
As a result: Micro-CT detection three-dimensional images show that the bone mass of a castrated osteoporosis model mouse after the gene of Progranulin is knocked out is obviously reduced compared with that of a wild type mouse, and the bone mass is equivalent to that of postmenopausal osteoporosis women, and if the gene of Progranulin in vivo is deficient, osteoporosis is easily caused (figure 3); Micro-CT detection two-dimensional images show that the number of trabeculae of a mouse with castration osteoporosis after the gene of Progranulin is knocked out is obviously reduced compared with that of a wild type mouse, and the mouse is equivalent to a postmenopausal osteoporosis woman, and if the gene of Progranulin in vivo is deficient, bone formation is easy to reduce (figure 4); TRAP staining results of bone tissue sections show that the number of osteoclasts in mice of a castration osteoporosis model after the Progranulin gene knockout is obviously increased compared with that in wild-type mice, and the mice are equivalent to postmenopausal osteoporosis women, and if the Progranulin gene in vivo is deficient, the bone resorption is easily increased (figure 5).
The above-mentioned embodiments are merely preferred embodiments for fully illustrating the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. The equivalent substitution or change made by the technical personnel in the technical field on the basis of the invention is all within the protection scope of the invention. The protection scope of the invention is subject to the claims.
