03-P033 Role of Wnt/PCP in stability and localization of focal adhesion components
نویسندگان
چکیده
Morphogenetic cell movements mould the shape of the developing organism. These movements have been extensively studied during Drosophila embryonic development. In particular live imaging analyses have revealed the complexities underlying the comparatively simple processes of germband extension, retraction and dorsal closure. I am applying live imaging techniques to an apparently complex morphogenetic process, head involution. Head involution involves the anterior movement of an extending epidermal sheet over the exposed neural tissue of the head that itself dives internally. Here I will present my analysis of the cellular mechanisms of wild type head involution and compare these to those occurring in three mutants with distinctive head involution defects.

sion (FA), is expressed in the dorsal mesoderm and neuroectoderm during gastrulation in Xenopus embryos. Biochemical and embryological experiments demonstrated that xSyn4 is required for proper gastrulation and interacts biochemically and functionally with Dsh and Fz7. Focal adhesion assembly and disassembly need to be tightly regulated to allow cell migration. Disruption of this balance result...

متن کاملInteraction of viral oncogenic proteins with the Wnt signaling pathway
It is estimated that up to 20% of all types of human cancers worldwide are attributed to viruses. The genome of oncogenic viruses carries genes that have protein products that act as oncoproteins in cell proliferation and transformation. The modulation of cell cycle control mechanisms, cellular regulatory and signaling pathways by oncogenic viruses, plays an important role in viral carcinogenes...
متن کاملEvidence for an association between Wnt-independent -catenin intracellular localization and ovarian apoptotic events in normal and PCO-induced rat ovary
The association of secreted frizzled related protein type 4 (Sfrp4) as an antagonist of Wnt mole-cules in apoptotic events has been reported previously. Moreover, its increased expression has been reported in the ovary of women with polycystic ovary (PCO). We have demonstrated in-creased Sfrp4 in PCO-induced rat ovary related to an increased number of apoptotic follicles showing nuclear ?cateni...
متن کاملStrange as it may seem: the many links between Wnt signaling, planar cell polarity, and cilia.
Cilia are important cellular structures that have been implicated in a variety of signaling cascades. In this review, we discuss the current evidence for and against a link between cilia and both the canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway and the noncanonical Wnt/planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway. Furthermore, we address the evidence implicating a role for PCP components in ciliogenesis. Given the la...
