Abstract

As a common degenerative disease, osteoporosis (OS) is characterized by reduced bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue. Both genetic and environmental factors are involved in OS development. To date, ~300 genes have been confirmed to be involved in the pathogenesis of OS, a large majority of which have been independently investigated. As OS is a polygenetic disease, a comprehensive analysis focusing on the biological functions and interactions of OS‑related genes would provide valuable information. In this study, OS related research deposited in PubMed was retrieved and genes related to OS were catalogued. Pathways with an enriched biological function for these genes were extracted, and the crosstalk between the enriched pathways was analyzed. A comprehensive network was constructed, and a minimal network was extracted using the Steiner minimal network algorithm. In this study, a total of 294 genes in were retrieved from PubMed. Biological processes found to be enriched included those related to bone metabolism and the immune system. In total, 58 pathways were enriched. Furthermore, the comprehensive network consisting of 3,943 nodes and 7,976 edges was constructed, among which 631 nodes and 2,581 edges contributed to the OS‑specific molecular network. In this network, in excess of 300 potential genes associated with OS and two modules were identified. Thus, this study provides a mechanistic insight into OS and suggests more than 300 potential OS‑related genes for future research.
