Expression 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 کاملexogenous secreted frizzled-related protein-4 modulates steroidogenesis of rat granulosa cells through wnt/bcatenin and pi3k/akt signaling pathways
background: it has been reported that secreted frizzled-related protein-4 known as an antagonist of wnt signaling pathway plays a role in luteinization process of rodent granulosa cells. the purpose of this study was twofold: 1) to determine whether recombinant human secreted frizzled-related protein-4 (rhsfrp-4) could directly induce terminal differentiation of rat granulosa cells (gcs) and 2)...
متن کاملFritz: a secreted frizzled-related protein that inhibits Wnt activity
Signaling molecules of the Wnt gene family are involved in the regulation of dorso-ventral, segmental and tissue polarity in Xenopus and Drosophila embryos. Members of the frizzled gene family, such as Drosophila frizzled-2 and rat frizzled-1, have been shown encode Wnt binding activity and to engage intracellular signal transduction molecules known to be part of the Wnt signaling pathway. Here...
متن کاملA secreted frizzled related protein, FrzA, selectively associates with Wnt-1 protein and regulates wnt-1 signaling.
The Wnt gene family encodes proteins that serve key roles in differentiation and development. Wnt proteins interact with seven transmembrane receptors of the Frizzled family and activate a signaling pathway leading to the nucleus. A primary biochemical effect of Wnt-1 signaling is the stabilization of cytoplasmic (beta)-catenin which, in association with transcription factors of the Lef/tcf fam...
متن کاملExpression of Frzb/secreted Frizzled-related protein 3, a secreted Wnt antagonist, in human androgen-independent prostate cancer PC-3 cells suppresses tumor growth and cellular invasiveness.
The ability of Frzb/secreted Frizzled-related protein 3 (sFRP3) to inhibit Wnt signaling and the localization of Frzb/sFRP3 on chromosome 2q to a region frequently deleted in cancers have led some investigators to hypothesize that Frzb/sFRP3 is a tumor suppressor gene. Here, we examined the biological effects of Frzb/sFRP3 on an androgen-independent prostate cancer cell model. We showed that ex...
