Objective:
This study aims to explore the correlation between Osteoporosis and stroke risk, and find potential common key genes and drugs for intervention through bioinformatics methods.
Methods:
This study used clinical data to assess the relationship between Osteoporosis and stroke risk through univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Additionally, blood sequencing data from patients with Osteoporosis and stroke were obtained from the GEO database, and common key genes were identified using differential analysis, LASSO regression, and ROC curve methods. Potential interventional drugs were predicted using the DSigDB database.
Results:
In the initial model, Osteoporosis was significantly associated with stroke risk (OR=1.78, 95% CI: 1.14-2.78, p < 0.01). This association was still significant after adjusting for factors such as age, gender, race, and BMI (OR=1.84, 95% CI: 1.18-2.89, p = 0.007). Bioinformatics analysis identified LILRA5, HNRNPL and AGBL3 as common key genes for Osteoporosis and stroke, and these genes were highly effective in diagnosing both diseases. The DSigDB database predicted that Cyclopenthiazide, Neostigmine bromide, and R-atenolol could potentially intervene with these three genes.
Conclusion:
There is a significant positive correlation between Osteoporosis and stroke risk. LILRA5, HNRNPL and AGBL3 could be key genes common to both diseases, and Cyclopenthiazide, Neostigmine bromide, and R-atenolol could be potential drugs for intervention.

Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Vitamin A
Vitamin A is involved in the process of bone remodeling. Retinoic acid, the active metabolite of Vitamin A, has nuclear receptors in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which are involved in bone remodeling.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor during the formation of osteoblast-related proteins, such as osteocalcin. Vitamin B12 plays a role...
