Study Overview
Brief Summary
Autophagy is recognized as a central mechanism for the regulation of aging. . Osteoporosis (OA) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are two forms of pathological aging, sometimes entangled, including an over-risk of OP in AD and degradation of cognitive functions after OP fracture, but the link between These two pathologies remain poorly understood.
The aim of this prospective pilot study is to evaluate the level of autophagy of osteocytes (OST) in postmenopausal women with OP and to explore the hypothesis that the defect of autophagy is one of the physiopathological links of the OP During the MA
Detailed Description
Autophagy is a ubiquitous cellular mechanism that degrades and recycles toxic waste from cells. It is recognized as a central mechanism for the regulation of aging. Osteoporosis (OA) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are two forms of pathological aging, sometimes entangled, including an over-risk of OP in AD and degradation of cognitive functions after OP fracture, but the link between These two pathologies remain poorly understood. In Alzheimer's disease (AD), a deficiency of autophagy is found both clinically and fundamentally. In animal studies, animal studies have shown that autophagy is involved in the differentiation, function and survival of bone cells, decreases with age and that a defect in autophagy is accompanied by a decrease in The bone mass. To date, we do not have human data on the autophagic capacities of bone cells in OP and AD.
The aim of this prospective pilot study is to evaluate the level of autophagy of osteocytes (OST) in postmenopausal women with OP and to investigate the hypothesis that the defect of autophagy is one of the physiopathological links of the OP During the MA.
The main objective is to determine, in two subgroups with or without Alzheimer's disease, whether there is an association between bone status and the level of autophagy of OST in postmenopausal women (OP versus non-OP)
Secondary objectives are to determine whether there is an association between the level of autophagy of the OST and the bone parameters (bone mineral density, serum vitamin D) and to compare in OP women the level of autophagy of the OST Of AM patients vs no MA.
Study population: Postmenopausal women over the age of 65 benefiting from the implantation of a hip prosthesis: 30 with an OP fracture of the femoral neck (15 non-MA and 15 MA, the cognitive status being determined by MMSE And IADL 1 month after the fracture) and 30 controls performed for osteoarthritis, free from OP (antecedents + bone mineral density) and MA (MMSE and IADL).
