To date, no efficacious therapy exists that will prevent or treat the severe osteoporosis in individuals with neurologically motor-complete spinal cord injury (SCI). Recent preclinical studies have demonstrated that sclerostin antibody (Scl-Ab) can prevent sublesional bone loss after acute SCI in rats. However, it remains unknown whether sclerostin inhibition reverses substantial bone loss in the...
There is an unmet need for therapies that can restore bone strength and reduce fracture risk among patients at high risk of osteoporotic fracture. To address this need, bone-forming therapies that increase osteoblast activity are required to help restore bone structure and strength. Sclerostin is now recognized as a target for osteoporosis therapy. Sclerostin is predominantly secreted by the osteocyte...
Sclerostin (Scl) is an osteocyte protein that decreases bone formation, and its inhibition by neutralizing antibodies (Scl-Ab) increases bone formation, mass and strength. We investigated the effects of Scl-Ab in mature ovariectomized (OVX) rats with a mechanistic focus on longer-term responses of osteoclasts, osteoblasts and osteocytes. Four-month-old Sprague–Dawley rats had OVX or sham surgery....
Sclerostin monoclonal antibody (Scl-Ab) has been shown to increase bone mass and bone strength by stimulating bone formation in an ovariectomy-induced bone loss rat model. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of Scl-Ab in a rat immobilization/disuse model in which there was both a decrease in bone formation and an increase in bone resorption. Ten-month-old female Sprague Dawley rats...
The current report describes the skeletal effects of a sclerostin monoclonal antibody (Scl-AbIII) treatment at a yellow (fatty) marrow skeletal site in adult female rats. Ten-month-old female Sprague–Dawley rats were treated with vehicle or Scl-AbIII at 5 or 25mg/kg, twice per week by s.c. injection for 4weeks. Trabecular bone from a yellow (fatty) marrow site, the 5th caudal vertebral body (CVB),...
