ABSTRACT
Depression and osteoporosis are common diseases in dialysis patients. In addition, patients with osteoporosis are more susceptible to depression. Contrary to previous anti-osteoporosis agents, denosumab and romosozumab could be used in dialysis patients and have similar action mechanisms for blocking RANKL. RANKL causes bone resorption after binding RANKL, but binding with OPG leads to suppress of bone resorption. In recent mice study, inhibition of RANKL with denosumab improved depressive-like phenotype. Besides, it was found that OPG was associated with depression. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association of depressive symptoms with RANKL and OPG in hemodialysis patients. We conducted a cross-sectional study with a total of 172 hemodialysis patients. The participants were measured for plasma RANKL, OPG, MMP-2, and MMP-9 levels. Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of RANKL and OPG on the presence of depressive symptoms. The depressive symptoms were observed in 90 (52.3%) subjects. RANKL tertile 3 had negative association with BDI score (ß - 4.527, 95% CI - 8.310 to - 0.743) in univariate analysis, and this association persisted even after multivariate adjustments (ß - 5.603, 95% CI - 9.715 to -1.491) in linear regression. In logistic regression between RANKL tertiles and depressive symptoms, RANKL tertile 3 had significantly lower unadjusted OR (0.40, 95% CI 0.19-0.86), and multivariate-adjusted OR (0.31, 95% CI 0.12-0.82) for depressive symptoms. OPG was not significantly associated with depressive symptoms. Higher plasma RANKL concentrations were significantly associated with lower depressive symptoms in HD patients.Trial registration WHO registry, No. KCT0003281, date January 12, 2017.
