Mechanical Properties of Bone Due to SOST Expression: Nanoindentation Assessment of Murine Femurs [PDF]
In the human genome, the SOST gene codes for a protein sclerostin. Sclerostin is an osteocyte-expressed negative regulator of bone formation. When the SOST gene is not coded, bone formation is reduced in individuals during skeletal maturation. This study

Sclerosteosis and Van Buchem disease are related recessive sclerosing bone dysplasias caused by alterations in the SOST gene. We tested the hypothesis that craniodiaphyseal dysplasia (CDD) (MIM 122860), an extremely rare sclerosing bone dysplasia ...

BMP Regulation of SOST and Osterix Expression During Embryonic Osteogenesis
Sclerostin (SOST), a member of the cystine-knot superfamily, is essential for proper skeletogenesis since loss of function mutation in SOST gene results in sclerosteosis featured with massive bone growth in humans.

SOST is a target gene for PTH in bone.
Intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH) application is an established pharmacological principle to stimulate bone formation. Yet, the molecular mechanisms underlying this bone anabolic action are not fully understood.

Prostaglandin E2 signals through PTGER2 to regulate sclerostin expression.
The Wnt signaling pathway is a robust regulator of skeletal homeostasis. Gain-of-function mutations promote high bone mass, whereas loss of Lrp5 or Lrp6 co-receptors decrease bone mass.

ESEM Analysis of Mice Femurs with Varying SOST Levels [PDF]
This project’s goal was to analyze the properties of the cortical femur on 100 mice bones from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Analysis was limited to imaging which determined the ratio of bone volume to total volume (BV/TV) and osteocyte lacunae

Sost down-regulation by mechanical strain in human osteoblastic cells involves PGE2 signaling via EP4 [PDF]
Sclerostin is a potent inhibitor of bone formation which is down-regulated by mechanical loading. To investigate the mechanisms involved we subjected Saos2 human osteoblastic cells to short periods of dynamic strain and used quantitative reverse ...

硬骨素(SOST)是一种主要由骨细胞分泌的蛋白质,其主要功能是抑制成骨细胞矿化,进而抑制骨形成[1]。维生素D缺乏性佝偻病患儿早期便会出现骨矿化不足。本研究拟通过分析患维生素D缺乏性佝偻病的婴幼儿血清SOST的水平变化,探讨SOST在佝偻病诊断中的意义。
