Sclerostin in Oral Tissues: Distribution, Biological Functions and Potential Therapeutic Role: OAJBS Publishers
Sclerostin in Oral Tissues: Distribution, Biological Functions and Potential Therapeutic Role by Xianglong Han* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS)
Sclerostin is a well-known
osteogenic negative regulator whose biological functions have been widely
studied in bone homeostasis. Targeting sclerostin via monoclonal antibodies was
shown to be a powerful strategy for bone-related diseases. Traditionally, sclerostin
was known as an osteocyte-specific glycoprotein. However, in recent studies, it
has been shown that in addition to osteocytes, there are other cell types in
oral tissues that can produce sclerostin. Sclerostin regulates the formation of
dental and periodontal structures and is also involved in various physiological
and pathological events in oral tissues. Thus, sclerostin modulation has been
determined as a possible treatment strategy for periodontium-related diseases.
To develop the therapeutic potential of sclerostin and its antibodies in the
field of dentistry, researchers must clearly understand the functions of
sclerostin in oral tissues. In this review, we highlight the existing awareness
of sclerostin’s functions in oral tissues; the roles it plays in dental and periodontal
diseases and treatments; and the therapeutic potential of sclerostin and its antibodies
for oral applications
