Abstract: Sclerostin is a negative regulator of bone formation and inhibits bone formation by inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Sclerostin antibody (Scl-Ab) ensures the transmission of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway by antagonizing the negative regulation of sclerostin on bone formation. Compared to other osteogenic drugs, Scl-Ab can stimulate osteogenic activity without stimulating osteoclast activity. A variety of Scl-Ab have been developed. Romosozumab, the most representative antibody, has completed clinical phase III trials, demonstrating that it can significantly promote bone formation and inhibit bone resorption. However, clinical efficacy and safety of Scl-Ab is still unclear and requires further investigation and discussion. Therefore, this review was conducted in order to provide theoretical basis for experimental research and clinical treatment.
