Objective(s): To investigate and test the hypotheses that TGF-β1 enhanced myocardial differentiation through Wnt/β-catenin pathway with rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs).Materials and Methods: Lentiviral vectors carrying the TGF-β1 gene were transduced into rat BMSCs firstly. Then several kinds of experimental methods were u...

Objective(s): Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading fatal neoplasms and the most common primary liver malignancy worldwide. Peptide hormone ANGPTL8 (betatrophin) may act as an important regulator in HCC development through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. We aimed to evaluate the effects of recombinant ANGPTL8 on Wnt/β-catenin signaling in human liver carcinom...

Abnormal inactivation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is involved in skin diseases like androgenetic alopecia, vitiligo and canities, but small-molecule activators are rarely described. In this study, we investigated stimulatory effects escin on canonical cultured human dermal papilla cells (hDPCs). Escin stimulated signaling, resulting increased β-catenin lymphoid enhancer-binding facto...

Micro-vascular complications such as diabetic nephropathy (DN) develop in patients with uncontrolled T1DM. Low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) is the co-receptor ligand of Wnt signaling pathway. Many single nucleotide variants have been identified human LRP5 gene and were reported to be associated metabolic disorders. The Wnt/β-catenin pathway has proposed play an importan...

Introduction: Microglia, small glial cells, i.e. mesodermal in origin and found in the brain and spinal cord, play a key role in the maintenance of neurons and immune defense. Haloperidol, an antipsychotic drug, is used to treat numerous neurological and neurodegenerative disorders. Its mechanism is not understood; however, haloperidol may result in Wnt signaling pathway activation. This study ...

Wnt canonical signaling pathway plays a diverse role in embryonic development and maintenance of organs and tissues in adults. It has been observed that Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is involved in the pathogenesis of many carcinomas. Moreover, Wnt/β-catenin pathway has been revealed to be associated with angiogenesis. Wnt canonical pathway signaling has great potential as a therapeutic targe...

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...

Abstract Aberrant Wnt signaling drives a number of cancers through regulation diverse downstream pathways. Wnt/?-catenin achieves this in part by increasing the expression proto-oncogenes such as MYC and cyclins. However, global assessment Wnt-regulated transcriptome vivo genetically distinct demonstrates that suppresses many genes it activates. In study, we examined set are upregulated upon in...
