Wnt Signaling in Bone
Wnt signaling is involved not only in embryonic development but also in maintenance of homeostasis in postnatal tissues. Multiple lines of evidence have increased understanding of the roles of Wnt signaling in bone since mutations in the LRP5 gene were identified in human bone diseases. Canonical Wnt signaling promotes mesenchymal progenitor cells to differentiate into osteoblasts. The canonica...
متن کاملWnt signaling in bone formation and its therapeutic potential for bone diseases.
The Wnt signaling pathway plays an important role not only in embryonic development but also in the maintenance and differentiation of the stem cells in adulthood. In particular, Wnt signaling has been shown as an important regulatory pathway in the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. Induction of the Wnt signaling pathway promotes bone formation while inactivation of the path...
متن کاملNoncanonical Wnt Signaling in Bone
The Wnt family of proteins plays essential roles conserved from flies to human in many developmental processes including cell fate specification, polarity, migration and proliferation. It has becoming increasingly clear that Wnt proteins activate multiple intracellular signaling cascades to achieve the diverse biological functions. One such cascade that has been most intensely studied to date i...
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...
متن کاملThe Canonical Wnt Signaling (Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway): A Potential Target for Cancer Prevention and Therapy
Precise regulation of signal transduction pathways is crucial for normal animal development and for maintaining cellular and tissue homeostasis in adults. The Wnt/Frizzled-mediated signaling includes canonical and non-canonical signal transduction pathways. Upregulation or downregulation of the canonical Wnt-signaling (or the Wnt/β-Catenin signal transduction) leads to a variety of human diseas...
