Abstract: Objective To analyze the changes of interleukin-31(IL-31)and interleukin-33(IL-33)levels in the serum of postmenopausal osteoporosis(PMOP)patients, and to explore the correlation between PMOP and IL-31/IL-33. Methods A total of 146 postmenopausal women were selected and their bone density was detected with double-energy X-ray absorptiometry(DXA). According to the bone density, the patients were divided into three groups: normal group, low bone mass group and osteoporosis group. Calcium(Ca), phosphorus(P), parathyroid hormone(PTH), 25-hydroxyvitamin D([25(OH)D]), IL-31, IL-33, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase(BALP), type 1 procollagen N-terminal propeptide(P1NP), anti-tartrate acid phosphatase(TRACP-5b), and β-cross linked C-telopeptide of type 1 collagen(β-CTX)were evaluated. The differences in IL-31, IL-33 and bone turnover markers among the three groups were compared. Results In the three groups, the level of IL-31 showed an upward trend with the decrease of bone density, while the level of IL-33 reduced with the decrease of bone density(P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that in the low bone mass group, IL-33(OR: 0.987, 95%CI: 0.974-0.999, P=0.030)was statistically significant, while in the osteoporosis group, IL-31(OR: 1.019, 95%CI: 1.009-1.028, P<0.001)and IL-33(OR: 0.978, 95%CI: 0.960-0.995, P=0.013)were statistically significant. The OR value of IL-33 showed a downward trend with the decrease of bone mineral density, indicating that IL-31 and IL-33 were possible influencing factors of PMOP. Conclusion IL-31 is a possible risk factor for PMOP, while IL-33 is a possible protective factor for PMOP, suggesting that IL-31 and IL-33 play an important role in the pathogenesis of PMOP.
