ROC curve was used for diagnostic analysis. Patients were followed up for 2 years and the correlations between the levels of CASC11 and TNF-α and disease conditions were analyzed.Results: We found that CASC11 and TNF-α were both upregulated in plasma of POP patients than in healthy controls. Plasma levels of CASC11 and TNF-α were positively correlated in both POP patients and in healthy controls. Upregulation of CASC11 and TNF-α distinguished POP patients from healthy controls. Treatment and follow-up study showed that high CASC11 levels were significantly correlated with prolonged treatment course and high recurrence rate. Plasma levels of CASC11 and TNF-α decreased after treatment. CASC11 overexpression led to upregulated TNF-α in osteoclasts.Conclusion: CASC11 is upregulated in POP and is correlated with TNF-α.Keywords: postmenopausal osteoporosis, CASC11, TNF-α, osteoclasts |
