Developmental expression patterns of mouse sFRP genes encoding members of the secreted frizzled related protein family
Development of the metanephric kidney is an experimental model system to analyze interactions between mesenchymal and epithelial cells and mesenchymal-epithelial transition. To study the underlying genetic mechanisms we employed organ culture and differential display PCR to identify genes regulated upon induction of mesenchymal cells. One of the genes found encodes the secreted frizzled related...
متن کاملExpression patterns of Wnt signaling component, secreted frizzled‑related protein 3 in astrocytoma and glioblastoma.
Secreted frizzled-related protein 3 (SFRP3) is a member of the family of soluble proteins, which modulate the Wnt signaling cascade. Novel research has identified aberrant expression of SFRPs in different types of cancer. In the present study the expression intensities and localizations of the SFRP3 protein across different histopathological grades of astrocytic brain tumors were investigated b...
متن کاملCloning and developmental expression of a novel, secreted frizzled-related protein from the sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus
Wnt proteins and their receptors, members of the frizzled protein family, play a key role in regulating a wide range of developmental processes. Recently, putative regulators of Wnt signaling known as secreted frizzled-related proteins (SFRPs) have been identified in several vertebrates. Here, we describe the cloning of a novel SFRP (suSFRP1) from the sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. ...
متن کاملSecreted Frizzled - related protein 2 ( sFRP 2 ) as a target 2 in anti - fibrotic therapeutic intervention 3 4
22 23 24 Progressive fibrosis is a pathological hallmark of many chronic diseases responsible for 25 organ failure. Although there is currently no therapy on the market that specifically targets 26 fibrosis, the dynamic fibrogenic process is known to be regulated by multiple soluble mediators 27 that may be therapeutically intervened. The failing hamster heart exhibits marked fibrosis and 28 in...
متن کاملCpG island methylation and expression of the secreted frizzled-related protein gene family in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is characterized by a clonal accumulation of mature neoplastic B cells indicating disruption of apoptosis. Restriction Landmark Genome Scanning was done to identify novel target genes silenced by CpG island methylation in CLL. Secreted frizzled-related protein 4 (SFRP4), a negative regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway, was found to be frequently methy...
