Pancreatic endocrine β-cells derived from embryonic stem (ES) cells and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have received attention as screening systems for therapeutic drugs and as the basis for cell-based therapies. Here, we used a 12-day β-cell differentiation protocol for mouse ES cells and obtained several hit compounds that promoted β-cell differentiation. One of these compounds, mycophe...
The human Wnt-binding protein Wnt-inhibitory factor-1 (WIF-1) comprises an N-terminal WIF module followed by five EGF-like repeats. Here we report the three-dimensional structure of the WIF domain of WIF-1 determined by NMR spectroscopy. The fold consists of an eight-stranded beta-sandwich reminiscent of the immunoglobulin fold. Residual detergent (Brij-35) used in the refolding protocol was fo...
Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (Bmp4) is essential for lung development. To define the intracellular signaling mechanisms by which Bmp4 regulates lung development, BMP-specific Smad1 or Smad5 was selectively knocked out in fetal mouse lung epithelial cells. Abrogation of lung epithelial-specific Smad1, but not Smad5, resulted in retardation of lung branching morphogenesis and reduced sacculation,...
Wnt factors are involved in the regulation of all steps of cartilage development. The activity of Wnt factors is generally regulated at the extracellular level by factors like the Dkk family, sFRPs, Cerberus and Wnt inhibitory factor 1 (Wif-1). Here we report that Wif-1 is highly expressed at cartilage-mesenchyme interfaces of the early developing skeleton. In fetal and postnatal skeletal devel...
Aberrant activation of Wnt signaling plays an important role in hepatocarcinogenesis. In addition to direct effects on tumor cells, Wnt signaling might be involved in the organization of tumor microenvironment. In this study, we have explored whether Wnt signaling blockade by exogenous expression of Wnt antagonists could inhibit tumor angiogenesis and control tumor growth. Human Wnt inhibitory ...
In this review we analyzed the role of PGE2 as a possible regulator of bone metabolism and bone metastases in prostate cancer. Published studies were identified by searching computerized bibliographic systems from January 1(st), 2000 to July 1(st), 2011. PGE2 represents a key factor in the modulation of bone metabolism and bone metastatic disease in prostate cancer interacting with bone regulat...
