Effects of selenium-mediated RUNX2 overexpression and its transcriptome alterations on Chondrocyte injury in Kashin Beck disease [PDF]
ObjectiveKashin-Beck disease (KBD) is a nutrition-related osteoarthropathy characterized by excessive apoptosis and matrix destruction. Micronutrient selenium (Se) deficiency is recognized as a major environmental risk factor.

Association of SOX6 gene polymorphisms with Kashin-Beck disease risk in the Chinese Han population [PDF]
Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is an endemic osteochondropathy. A specific gene called SRY-box transcription factor 6 (SOX6) is important for forming cartilage. This study aims to explore the potential correlation between SOX6 single nucleotide polymorphisms (

A comparative metabolomic analysis reveals the metabolic variations among cartilage of Kashin-Beck disease and osteoarthritis [PDF]
Aims: The metabolic variations between the cartilage of osteoarthritis (OA) and Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) remain largely unknown. Our study aimed to address this by conducting a comparative analysis of the metabolic profiles present in the cartilage of ...

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Depression in Patients With Endemic Osteoarthritis Kashin-Beck Disease. [PDF]
Background: Kashin–Beck disease (KBD) is an endemic osteoarthropathy, which occurs in children aged 3–12, with similarity to osteoarthritis (OA). Previous studies have shown significant depression symptoms in OA patients, yet no comparable research has been conducted in KBD patients. Methods: We conducted a field investigation in KBD areas in Northwest

Transcriptome-wide RNA m6A methylation profiles in an endemic osteoarthropathy, Kashin-Beck disease. [PDF]
Abstract Kashin‐Beck disease (KBD) is a chronic degenerative, disabling disease of the bones and joints and its exact aetiology and pathogenesis remain uncertain. This study is to investigate the role of m6A modification in the pathogenesis of KBD. Combined analysis of m6A MeRIP‐Seq and RNA‐Seq were used to analyse human peripheral blood samples from ...
