Research Abstract |
Osteocytes are shown to synthesize sclerostin and dentin matrix protein-1 (DMP-1), which serve to inhibit osteoblastic activities and subsequent bone remodeling, and regulate surrounding mineralization by binding to calcium ion of calcium phosphate crystals in bone, respectively. In a state of accelerated bone resorption, osteocytes decreased sclerostin synthesis in accordance with stimulated osteoclastic activities. The decreased synthesis of sclerostin appears to be not interrupt accelerated osteoclastic bone resorption by mediating osteoblasts.
