A Cytokine-Like Protein Dickkopf-Related Protein 3 Is Atheroprotective
BACKGROUND Dickkopf-related protein 3 (DKK3) is a secreted protein that is involved in the regulation of cardiac remodeling and vascular smooth muscle cell differentiation, but little is known about its role in atherosclerosis. METHODS We tested the hypothesis that DKK3 is atheroprotective using both epidemiological and experimental approaches. Blood DKK3 levels were measured in the Bruneck S...
متن کاملWnt signaling in cartilage development and degeneration.
The Wnt signaling network, which is composed of Wnt ligands, receptors, antagonists, and intracellular signaling molecules, has emerged as a powerful regulator of cell fate, proliferation, and function in multicellular organisms. Over the past two decades, the critical role of Wnt signaling in embryonic cartilage and bone development has been well established, and much has been learnt regarding...
متن کاملWnt Signaling in Cartilage Development and Degeneration
In adult articular cartilage, the extracellular matrix is maintained by a balance between the degradation and synthesis of matrix components. Chondrocytes that sparsely reside in the matrix and rarely proliferate are the key cellular mediators for cartilage homeostasis. Indications have been found for the involvement of the Wnt signaling pathway in maintaining articular cartilage and deregulati...
متن کاملA Novel Role of Dickkopf-Related Protein 3 in Macropinocytosis in Human Bladder Cancer T24 Cells
Dickkopf-related protein 3 (Dkk-3) is a potential tumor suppressor reported in various cancer entities. However, we found that Dkk-3 was exceptionally upregulated in bladder cancer T24 cells. To validate the biological role of Dkk-3 other than a tumor suppressor, we examined the function of Dkk-3 in T24 cells. Gene silencing of Dkk-3 inhibited cell growth through inducing G₀/G₁ cell-cycle arres...
متن کاملMicroRNA-92b promotes cell proliferation and invasion in osteosarcoma by directly targeting Dickkopf-related protein 3
Deregulation of microRNA-92b (miR-92b) has been implicated in osteosarcoma. However, the underlying regulatory mechanism of miR-92b in osteosarcoma growth and metastasis remains largely unclear. In the present study, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting were used to measure mRNA and protein expression. MTT and Transwell assays were conducted to deter...
