Both Canonical and Non-Canonical Wnt Signaling Independently Promote Stem Cell Growth in Mammospheres
The characterization of mammary stem cells, and signals that regulate their behavior, is of central importance in understanding developmental changes in the mammary gland and possibly for targeting stem-like cells in breast cancer. The canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway is a signaling mechanism associated with maintenance of self-renewing stem cells in many tissues, including mammary epithelium, a...
متن کاملZebrafish Naked1 and Naked2 antagonize both canonical and non-canonical Wnt signaling.
Wnt signaling controls a wide range of developmental processes and its aberrant regulation can lead to disease. To better understand the regulation of this pathway, we identified zebrafish homologues of Naked Cuticle (Nkd), Nkd1 and Nkd2, which have previously been shown to inhibit canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling. Zebrafish nkd1 expression increases substantially after the mid-blastula tra...
متن کاملThe Canonical Wnt Signaling (Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway): A Potential Target for Cancer Prevention and Therapy
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...
متن کاملNon-canonical p53 signaling to promote invasion
It has been known for a number of years that mutated "inactive" p53 proteins still capable of binding to DNA per se, can bind to DNA sequences that are non-canonical for p53, with for example, a resultant increase in the transcription and expression of growth factor receptors such as ERBB1, (1)(,) (2) i.e., mutation of p53 not merely results in "no p53 function" but in fact results in "oncogeni...
متن کاملCanonical and Non-canonical Reelin Signaling
Reelin is a large secreted glycoprotein that is essential for correct neuronal positioning during neurodevelopment and is important for synaptic plasticity in the mature brain. Moreover, Reelin is expressed in many extraneuronal tissues; yet the roles of peripheral Reelin are largely unknown. In the brain, many of Reelin's functions are mediated by a molecular signaling cascade that involves tw...
