20. observed an association between sclerostin levels with fasting insulin levels and homoeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance, but there was no clear association with type 2 diabetes risk. PMID: 28090669
21. Sclerostin levels in KTR are normal and influenced more by bone turnover than by eGFR. Its involvement with other hormones of mineral homeostasis (FGF23/Klotho and Vitamin D) is part of the sophisticated cross-talk between bone and the kidney PMID: 28558021
22. Vitamin D receptor agonism by paricalcitol causes a moderate increase in serum sclerostin in CKD patients, and this effect is modified by circulating pentosidine levels. PMID: 28017524
23. SOST is frequently expressed in skeletal bone- and cartilage-forming tumors. The strong spatial correlation with bone formation and the in vitro expression patterns are in line with the known functions of SOST in nonneoplastic bone, as a feedback inhibitor on osteogenic differentiation. PMID: 27498059
24. Intermittent compressive stress regulates Notch receptor and target gene expression via the TGF-beta signaling pathway. Notch signaling participates in TGF-beta-induced sclerostin expression in periodontal ligament cells. PMID: 27966788
25. Dickkopf-1 and sclerostin were never correlated with each other or with bone turnover markers patients with Paget's disease of bone. Sclerostin was positively correlated with age. PMID: 28054306
26. These data suggest that sclerostin plays an important role in the bone remodeling of tooth movement. PMID: 28081119
27. SOST is expressed in the aorta and downregulated in human aortic aneurysms and atherosclerosis, possibly because of epigenetic silencing. PMID: 28062506
28. The level of sclerostin was higher in the female obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients than that in female controls. Further, in OSA women with cardiovascular comorbidities, sclerostin was higher than in women without such comorbidities. In men, there were no differences in the serum sclerostin level between the OSA and control subjects, nor was there any relationship with cardiovascular diseases. PMID: 26820731
