Sclerostin stimulates angiogenesis in human endothelial cells
Sclerostin, negative regulator of bone formation, has been originally known as an osteocyte product. Recently, it has been also detected in hypertrophic chondrocytes, distinctive cells of avascular cartilage which is invaded by capillaries and then ...

This article provides a comprehensive overview of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying “secondary debilitation after hip fracture,” discusses the clinical application of risk assessment tools, and presents a phased, stepwise intervention strategy aimed at interrupting the “vicious cycle.” ABSTRACT Hip fractures pose a serious threat to the ...

Bone overgrowth-associated mutations in LRP4 impair sclerostin-facilitator function.
Humans lacking sclerostin display progressive bone overgrowth due to increased bone formation. While it is well established that sclerostin is an osteocyte secreted bone formation inhibitor, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully elucidated ...

Sclerostin: a new biomarker of interest in nephrology
peer reviewedSclerostin is an osteocyte-specific glycoprotein secreted by the osteocyte and involved in the regulation of bone mass. High sclerostin levels are associated with osteoporosis, whereas low sclerostin levels are correlated with higher bone ...

Sclerostin – új terápiás célpont osteoporosisban
A sclerostinnak, az osteocyták által termelt glikoproteinnek csontanyagcserében betöltött szerepe kapcsán merült fel terápiás célpontként való hasznosíthatósága.

Inhibition of Wnt3a signaling by Sclerostin.
(A) HEK293TSA cells stably transfected with the Wnt-responsible luciferase reporter construct SuperTOPFlash were stimulated with 1.5 nM recombinant murine Wnt3a and serial dilutions of murine Sclerostin.

The regulation of the sclerostin gene and the catabolic effects of sclerostin protein on bone. [PDF]
Age and disease-related bone loss is a major health issue. Bone tissue is constantly remodelled throughout life in order to maintain a healthy skeleton and bone loss is caused by an imbalance in the remodelling process.

Aims: The physiological function of sclerostin remains unknown. Sclerostin is synthesized by osteocytes and operates by inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Similarly, it is well established that low levels of sclerostin lead to enhanced bone formation

Role and mechanism of action of Sclerostin in bone
After discovering that lack of Sost/sclerostin expression is the cause of the high bone mass human syndromes Van Buchem disease and sclerosteosis, extensive animal experimentation and clinical studies demonstrated that sclerostin plays a critical role in
