Abstract
The specimens of femur from wild-type mice(WT) of 6 months and Hepcidin-knockout(KO) mice of 6 months(iron accumulation model) were obtained for Micro-CT examination. Western blot and co-immunoprecipitation were used to detect the changes of related parameters in Wnt signaling pathway. Compared with wild-type mice, the bone mass in Hepcidin-KO mice was significantly decreased, the binding of β-catenin to FOXO3a increased, and binding of β-catenin to TCF4/TCF7L2 decreased in bone tissue, without significant changes in the expression of β-catenin, TCF4/TCF7L2, and FOXO3a. These results suggest that iron accumulation may affect bone formation through interfering with canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, finally leading to osteoporosis.
Key words:

期刊介绍：
The Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism was founded in July 1985. It is a senior academic journal in the field of endocrinology and metabolism sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association. The journal aims to be the "Chinese broadcaster of new knowledge on endocrinology and metabolism worldwide". It reports leading scientific research results and clinical diagnosis and treatment experience in endocrinology and metabolism and related fields, as well as basic theoretical research that has a guiding role in endocrinology and metabolism clinics and is closely integrated with clinics. The journal is a core journal of Chinese science and technology (a statistical source journal of Chinese science and technology papers), and is included in Chinese and foreign statistical source journal databases such as the Chinese Science and Technology Papers and Citation Database, Chemical Abstracts, and Scopus.
