Abstract:Objective: To analyze the expression and clinical significance of sFRP4 and DKK1 in serum of patients with primary osteoporosis. Methods: Eighty-two patients with primary osteoporosis admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to January 2021 were selected as the study group, in addition, 75 cases from the same period of healthy physical examination were selected as the control group. Serum sFRP4 and DKK1 levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), serum β collagen degradation products (β-CTX), type I collagen amino-terminal elongation peptide (P1NP), osteopontin (OPN) and N-terminal osteocalcin (N-MID) levels were detected by electrochemiluminescence. The BMD value of femur and L1~4BMD value of lumbar spine were measured with bone densitometer. Pearson method was used to analyze the correlation between serum sFRP4, DKK1 levels, bone metabolism indexes, and bone mineral density; the influencing factors of primary osteoporosis were analyzed by logistic regression; the diagnostic value of serum sFRP4 and DKK1 levels in primary osteoporosis was analyzed by ROC curve. Results: The expression levels of serum sFRP4 (62.98±10.79) μg/L and DKK1 (14.28±3.97) μg/mL in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group (46.87±8.88) μg/L and (11.43±3.04) μg/mL (P<0.05), and the β-CTX (4.52±1.02) ng/mL, P1NP (47.28±4.26) ng/mL and OPN (26.64±5.11) ng/mL in the study group and N-MID (89.87±8.02) ng/mL were significantly higher than those in the control group (3.55±0.92) ng/mL, (30.84±4.53) ng/mL, (19.01±4.12) ng/mL and (81.95±9.50) ng/mL (P<0.05), and the femur BMD (0.58±0.16) g/cm3 and lumbar L1~4BMD (0.64±0.18 g) in the study group. cm3) was significantly lower than that of the control group (0.82±0.19) g/cm3 and (0.83±0.23) g/cm3 (P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the expression levels of sFRP 4 and DKK1 were positively correlated (r=0.479, P<0.05), and the expression levels of sFRP 4 and DKK1 were negatively correlated with femoral BMD and lumbar L1~4BMD (P<0.05), and positively correlated with β-CTX, P1NP, OPN and N-MID (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the overexpression of sFRP4 and DKK1 was a risk factor for primary osteoporosis (P<0.05). The AUC of serum sFRP4 in diagnosis of primary osteoporosis was 0.874, and that of DKK1 in diagnosis of primary osteoporosis was 0.809, the AUC of the combination of the two methods in the diagnosis of primary osteoporosis was 0.921, which was superior to the diagnosis of serum sFRP4 and DKK1 separately (Z combination vs sFRP4=2.851, Z combination vs DKK1=4.365, P<0.05). Conclusion: Serum sFRP4 and DKK1 are significantly elevated in patients with primary osteoporosis, which is closely related to bone metabolism and BMD, and the combination of the two can better diagnose primary osteoporosis.
