In silico identification of sclerostin inhibitors
Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway plays a major role in the regulation of bone homeostasis. Sclerostin exhibits a high-affinity binding to the Wnt co-receptors LRP5/6 and therefore acts as an extracellular inhibitor of canonical Wnt signaling ...

Serum sclerostin levels in osteoporotic fracture patients [PDF]
PURPOSE: Sclerostin inhibits bone formation and stimulates bone resorption. Previous studies found a positive association between bone density and serum sclerostin, but literature on sclerostin levels in osteoporotic fracture patients is scarce.

Does oxidative status affect serum sclerostin levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus? [PDF]
Introduction: Sclerostin is a glycoprotein known as a negative regulator of bone formation, predominantly expressed by mature osteocytes.

Inhibitors of sclerostin [PDF]
Recent data suggest that inhibitors of sclerostin, an osteocyte-produced Wnt signaling pathway antagonist, can stimulate bone formation. This review provides rationale and summarizes recent evidence supporting this novel approach to skeletal anabolism.Data from numerous preclinical models in rodents and monkeys consistently demonstrate that ...

Osteocyte TSC1 promotes sclerostin secretion to restrain osteogenesis in mice [PDF]
Osteocytes secrete the glycoprotein sclerostin to inhibit bone formation by osteoblasts, but how sclerostin production is regulated in osteocytes remains unclear.

The downregulation of sclerostin in osteocytes mediates bone formation in response to mechanical cues and parathyroid hormone (PTH). To date, the regulation of sclerostin has been attributed exclusively to the transcriptional downregulation of the Sost ...

Endocrine functions of sclerostin
Sclerostin, the product of the SOST gene has primarily been studied for its profound impact on bone mass. By interacting with LRP5 and LRP6, the glycoprotein suppresses the propagation of Wnt signals to β-catenin and thereby suppresses new bone formation.

Sclerostin: From Molecule to Clinical Biomarker
Sclerostin, a glycoprotein encoded by the SOST gene, is mainly produced by mature osteocytes and is a critical regulator of bone formation through its inhibitory effect on Wnt signaling.

Antitumor Effect of Sclerostin against Osteosarcoma [PDF]
Various risk factors and causative genes of osteosarcoma have been reported in the literature; however, its etiology remains largely unknown. Bone formation is a shared phenomenon in all types of osteosarcomas, and sclerostin is an extracellular soluble ...

Musculoskeletal decay and bone-muscle crosstalk during physical disuse: Mechanisms and integrated countermeasures. [PDF]
Abstract Older adults experience a markedly increased risk of falls and fractures following hospital discharge, largely due to the rapid musculoskeletal deterioration associated with bed rest. Although age‐related muscle and bone loss typically develops gradually, acute physical inactivity accelerates key biological processes underlying sarcopenia and ...
