The Role of Glypicans in Wnt Inhibitory Factor-1 Activity and the Structural Basis of Wif1's Effects on Wnt and Hedgehog Signaling
Proper assignment of cellular fates relies on correct interpretation of Wnt and Hedgehog (Hh) signals. Members of the Wnt Inhibitory Factor-1 (WIF1) family are secreted modulators of these extracellular signaling pathways. Vertebrate WIF1 binds Wnts and inhibits their signaling, but its Drosophila melanogaster ortholog Shifted (Shf) binds Hh and extends the range of Hh activity in the developin...
متن کاملInactivation of Wnt inhibitory factor-1 (WIF1) expression by epigenetic silencing is a common event in breast cancer.
The Wnt signaling pathway is a powerful and prominent oncogenic mechanism dysregulated in numerous cancer types. While evidence from transgenic mouse models and studies of human tumors clearly indicate that this pathway is of likely importance in human breast cancer, few clues as to the exact molecular nature of Wnt dysregulation have been uncovered in this tumor type. Here, we show that the Wn...
متن کاملDysregulation of the WNT Signaling Pathway Through Methylation of Wnt Inhibitory Factor 1 and Dickkopf-1 Genes among AML Patients at the Time of Diagnosis
Background: In acute myeloblastic leukemia, a large number of tumor suppressor genes are silenced through DNA methylation such as CDKN2B & p73. Wnt inhibitory factor 1 (WIF1) and Dickkopf-3 (DKK-1) are negative regulators of Wnt signaling pathway. In the present study, we evaluated the methylation status of WIF1 and DKK-1 genes in acute myeloblastic leukemia patients. Patients and Methods: ...
متن کاملWnt inhibitory factor 1 decreases tumorigenesis and metastasis in osteosarcoma.
It has been reported that the progression of osteosarcoma was closely associated with the aberrant activation of canonical Wnt signaling. Wnt inhibitory factor-1 (WIF-1) is a secreted Wnt inhibitor whose role in human osteosarcoma remains unknown. In this study, WIF-1 expression in NHOst and osteosarcoma cell lines was determined by real-time reverse transcription-PCR, methylation-specific PCR,...
