Re-activation of Wnt/β-catenin Signaling Pathway in Hair Follicle Stem Cells in Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss is a common hair disorder in human population. It affects quality of life and there are ongoing attempts to find permanent treatment for this condition. But, today there is no completely safe and protective treatment for all. Hair follicle stem cells are alive, but quiescence in androgenetic alopecia and are potentially active and can proliferate and differentiate, then regenerate hai...
متن کاملHepatomegaly in transgenic mice expressing an oncogenic form of beta-catenin.
Inappropriate activation of the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, resulting mainly from activating mutations of the beta-catenin gene, has been implicated recently in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We have generated transgenic mice expressing an oncogenic form of beta-catenin in their hepatocytes to analyze the effect of deregulated beta-catenin signaling on liver homeostasis. The...
متن کاملHepatocyte growth factor stimulates proliferation of respiratory epithelial cells during postpneumonectomy compensatory lung growth in mice.
Although it is known that the lung undergoes compensatory growth after pulmonary resection, mechanisms by which lung cells exhibit compensatory proliferation are not well defined. We investigated the involvement of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in postpneumonectomy compensatory lung regeneration in mice, because HGF has mitogenic and morphogenic actions on lung epithelial cells. Following left...
متن کاملSquid ink polysaccharide reduces cyclophosphamide-induced testicular damage via Nrf2/ARE activation pathway in mice
Objective(s):Cyclophosphamide (CP) toxicity on testis was hampered by squid ink polysaccharide (SIP) via restoration of antioxidant ability in our previous investigations. This study investigated roles of Nrf2/ARE signal pathway in testis of treated mice. Materials and Methods: Male Kunming mice were employed to undergo treatment with SIP and/or CP. Protein levels of Nrf2, keap-1, histone deac...
متن کاملIslet1-mediated activation of the β-catenin pathway is necessary for hindlimb initiation in mice.
The transcriptional basis of vertebrate limb initiation, which is a well-studied system for the initiation of organogenesis, remains elusive. Specifically, involvement of the β-catenin pathway in limb initiation, as well as its role in hindlimb-specific transcriptional regulation, are under debate. Here, we show that the β-catenin pathway is active in the limb-forming area in mouse embryos. Fur...
