【 摘 要 】

Inflammation is a common albeit overlooked cause of local and systemic bone loss which results from an imbalance between bone formation and bone resorption. The Wnt pathway, which plays an essential role in the regulation of bone turnover, has been proposed as a potential molecular link between inflammation and inflammatory bone loss. We here recapitulate present knowledge about sclerostin, a Wnt pathway inhibitor, and bone damage in inflammation. A better understanding of sclerostin action and regulation might help in designing an effective treatment strategy in inflammatory bone loss.
