Role of osteogenic Dickkopf-1 in bone remodeling and bone healing in mice with type I diabetes mellitus

Abstract Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is associated with low bone mass and a higher risk for fractures. Dickkopf-1 (Dkk1), which inhibits Wnt signaling, osteoblast function, and bone formation, has been found to be increased in the serum of patients with T1DM. Here, we investigated the functional...

Of note, Dkk1 cKO mice were completely protected from T1DM-induced cortical bone loss. T1DM suppressed the bone formation rate, the number of osteoblasts at trabecular bone, serum levels of P1NP and bone defect healing in both, Dkk1-deficient and sufficient, mice.
