background: it has been reported that secreted frizzled-related protein-4 known as an antagonist of wnt signaling pathway plays a role in luteinization process of rodent granulosa cells. the purpose of this study was twofold: 1) to determine whether recombinant human secreted frizzled-related protein-4 (rhsfrp-4) could directly induce terminal differentiation of rat granulosa cells (gcs) and 2)...

background: coronary artery disease (cad) is the major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. the aim of this study was to explore the effect of resveratrol (res) on canonical β-catenin/wnt and forkhead box o (foxo) pathways in cad patients.method: we performed this study on 10 metabolic syndrome patients with three-vessel cad and 10 sex-aged matched healthy subjects. the effects of res on...

conclusions vpa and cbz treatments caused a decrease in β-catenin and vegf levels in sw480 colon cancer cell lines. these results suggest that cbz can be considered a potential antitumor drug with potencies different from vpa. methods in the present experimental study, implemented during 2014 - 2015 in iran, after incubation of cells into 96-well plates with 5,500 cells/well, the tested drugs w...

Many studies indicate the involvement of WNT signaling in oncogenesis and melanoma drug resistance. Receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIPK4), which targets multiple pathways such as Wnt/β-catenin, NFKB MAPK, is might be a alternative target. This supported by fact that RIPK4 levels are elevated cells compared to normal melanocytes. Since role this regulation pathway remain unknown, we tested...

目的： 检测结直肠腺癌组织及癌旁正常组织bcl-2、 β-catenin蛋白表达，探讨bcl-2、 β-catenin与患者的年 龄、性别、肿瘤部位、分化程度、与、浸润深度、淋巴结转移及TNM分期等临床病理参数的关系。 方法： 原发性结直 肠腺癌及对应的癌旁正常组织各62例用免疫组织化学方法检测bcl-2、 β-catenin蛋白表达情况。结果 结直肠癌组织bcl- 2、 β-catenin蛋白表达高于远切端正常黏膜， bcl-2与浸润深度、淋巴结转移及TNM分期有关（ P < 0.05）； β-catenin与 肿瘤的分化程度、淋巴结转移及TNM分期有关（ 0.05）。 结论： 结直肠腺癌组织bcl-2和β-catenin在结直肠癌组织 中高表达，且存在一定的相关性。

The solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) are rare tumors in the head and neck region and there have been only 5 cases reported in the literature in the soft palate. The current paper presents a unique case of a 62-year-old male with TFS arising in the soft palate. The tumor was highly cellular, composed of bland looking haphazardly arranged spindle cells. The signal transducer and activator of transcr...

Wingless-integrated/β-catenin (Wnt/β-catenin) signaling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved which not only important for regulation of embryogenesis and organ development, but also injury repair, homeostasis tissue remodeling. Dysregulation this either by upregulation or even downregulation highly implicated in various diseases such as; liver diseases, kidney lung fibrosis, heart failure, va...

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...

Abstract Background Our previous study shows that LINC01278 inhibits the malignant proliferation and invasion of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) cells by regulating miR-376c-3p/DNM3 axis. However, regulation mechanism expression in PTC is still unclear. Methods The luciferase reporter ChIP assays were used to confirm binding LEF-1 putative promoter site gene. RNA immunoprecipitation pulldown ...
