Hypermethylation of Frizzled1 is associated with Wnt/β-catenin signaling inactivation in mesenchymal stem cells of patients with steroid-associated osteonecrosis
1 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is associated with the pathogenesis of steroid-induced osteonecrosis. Our investigation studied whether aberrant CpG island hypermethylation of the FZD1 gene was present in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), which results in Wnt/β-catenin signaling inactivation and subsequent cell dysfunction. Bone marrow was collected from the proximal femurs of patients...
