Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Osteocytic network shows geometrically-regular distribution of osteocytes and their cytoplasmic processes in association with bone maturation. Histological process of bone formation chronologically changed from mini-modeling in the early stage of the individual growth into bone remodeling in the adult stage. Osteocytic network did not show sclerostin in immature bone at the early stage of individual growth, while it abundantly synthesized sclerostin in mature bone at the later stage. Vitamin D analogue has been shown to induce mini-modeling even at the adult stage. In this study, it is likely that, when administered with vitamin D analogue, osteocytes appear to cease the sclerostin secretion, locally inducing mini-modeling-based bone formation.
