immunohistochemical analysis and role of secreted frizzled-related protein-4 in polycystic ovary-induced rat
objective: the role of wnt signaling and its antagonist; secreted frizzled related protein type 4 (sfpr4) was reported in rodent ovarian follicular development. this study examines immunolocalization of sfrp4 in ovaries of polycystic ovary (pco) rat model and evaluates its role in follicular growth arrest and its premature differentiation. materials and mathods: pco was induced with daily admin...
متن کاملInhibition of secreted frizzled-related protein 5 improves glucose metabolism.
Elucidating the role of secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (SFRP5) in metabolism and obesity has been complicated by contradictory findings when knockout mice were used to determine metabolic phenotypes. By overexpressing SFRP5 in obese, prediabetic mice we consistently observed elevated hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance, supporting SFRP5 as a negative regulator of glucose metabolism. Acco...
متن کاملFrzA, a secreted frizzled related protein, induced angiogenic response.
BACKGROUND The secreted frizzled related proteins (sFRP) are soluble proteins thought to interfere with the Wnt signaling. Our group previously demonstrated that one of these members, sFRP-1/FrzA, is strongly expressed during early phases of the vascularization process in embryonic vasculature and in the endothelium of arteries and capillaries in adults and modulated vascular cell proliferation...
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 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)...
