PG - 4443-4450 LID - 10.2147/DMSO.S305831 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: The Wnt signaling pathway plays a valuable role in bone metabolism. SOST is a major inhibitor of the Wnt signaling pathway. The expression of SOST and genetic polymorphism might be associated with bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). OBJECTIVE: This study aims to explore whether SOST protein expression and genetic locus rs851056, rs1230399 polymorphism is associated with bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with T2DM in Xinjiang. METHODS: A total of 136 Xinjiang postmenopausal women were divided into four groups: A (-/-), B (+/-), C (-/+), and D (+/+) by assessing their OGTT and bone mass. Genetic polymorphisms were determined using the mass ARRAY mass spectrometer. RESULTS: 1) Genotypes and allele frequencies at rs851056 were statistically significant differences in groups B and D patients compared to group A, respectively. 2) Individuals carrying the GG genotype had lower HDL, Ca, and ALP as compared to those carrying the GC/CC genotypes in group C. In contrast, individuals carrying the GG genotype had higher BMD (L1-4) as compared to those carrying the GC/CC genotypes in group D. 3) SOST protein expression levels were higher in groups C and D than in group A. 4). BMD (L1-4) was negatively correlated with SOST protein. 5) Multiple linear regression analysis for BMD-dependent variables showed that the decrease of BMI and TG were risk factors for BMD (L1-4), besides, the decrease of BMI, ALP, and extended years of menopause were all risk factors for BMD (femoral neck). CONCLUSION: SOST protein expression and genetic locus rs851056, rs1230399 polymorphism are associated with bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Xinjiang.
