Abstract
Highlights: [•] Prostacyclin is increased in bone and osteocytes from sclerostin knockout mice. [•] Prostacyclin enhances differentiation and matrix mineralization of osteoblasts. [•] Increased osteocyte prostacyclin associates with increased β-catenin activity. [•] Blockade of Wnt signaling reduces prostacyclin production in osteocytes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
