چکیده
The aim is to study how serum concentration of Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) and Sclerostin (SOST) varies in patients before and after undergoing total joint arthroplasty (TJA). A total of 104 patients undergoing TJA were included in this study. Serum DKK1 and SOST were measured at 1 day before and 1, 3, and 5 days after surgery. DKK1 levels were highest at 5 days' postoperation, increasing to 25.17% above preoperation levels (P < .01), while SOST levels were lowest at 3 days' postoperation, falling to 18.71% below preoperation levels (P < .05). Serum levels of DKK1 and SOST showed opposite trends in the days following TJA. Our research describes for the first time the perioperative changes observed in serum DKK1 and SOST levels of osteoarthritis (OA) patients undergoing TJA. Increased DKK1 and decreased SOST levels may help maintain the equilibrium of the WNT pathway in OA patient's postsurgery.

Changes in Serum Levels of Myokines and Wnt-Antagonists after an Ultramarathon Race
BACKGROUND Regular physical activities have a positive effect on the muscular skeletal system but overstrenuous exercise may be different. Transiently suppressed bone formation and increased bone resorption after participation in a 246-km ultradistance race has been demonstrated. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to analyze effects of the Spartathlon race on novel musculoskeletal markers. M...
متن کاملDysregulation of the WNT Signaling Pathway Through Methylation of Wnt Inhibitory Factor 1 and Dickkopf-1 Genes among AML Patients at the Time of Diagnosis
Background: In acute myeloblastic leukemia, a large number of tumor suppressor genes are silenced through DNA methylation such as CDKN2B & p73. Wnt inhibitory factor 1 (WIF1) and Dickkopf-3 (DKK-1) are negative regulators of Wnt signaling pathway. In the present study, we evaluated the methylation status of WIF1 and DKK-1 genes in acute myeloblastic leukemia patients. Patients and Methods: ...
متن کاملP-88: Assessing Expression Changes of Some Wnt Pathway Genes During Goat Early Embryonic Development
Background: The developmental competency of embryos is affected by several factors, including the developmental pathways and their elements. In mammalian species including goat, fertilized oocyte undergoes several divisions to form a structure called blastocyst. These events depend on the successful control of temporal and spatial expression of genes involved in genome activation. One of the cr...
متن کاملWnt signaling and metaphyseal bone healing
This thesis relates to some new aspects on the regulation of bone healing. In the last few years, Wnt signaling has been shown to play a central role in bone biology. As well as being involved in bone maintenance and repair, Wnt signaling has been presented as one of the ke y pathways through which bone responds to mechanical load. Two secreted extracellular inhibitors of Wnt signaling, scleros...
