Inhibition 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 کاملEpigenetic inactivation of the secreted frizzled-related protein-5 (SFRP5) gene in human breast cancer is associated with unfavorable prognosis.
Disruption of the Wnt pathway is thought to be crucial in the development of human cancer. Pathway inhibitory members of the secreted frizzled-related protein (SFRP) family were found to be downregulated due to epigenetic inactivation in various malignancies. To date, only SFRP1 has been studied in human breast cancer and we questioned whether other SFRP genes may be implicated in the pathogene...
متن کاملDecreased level of the anti-inflammatory adipokines, secreted frizzled-related protein 5 and adiponectin, in high cholesterol diet-induced atherosclerotic rats
Introduction: The involvement of secreted frizzled-related protein5 (SFRP5) and adiponectin, two important adipokines produced by adipocytes, in cardiovascular diseases demand further assessment. Therefore, in this study the relation of the adipokines and atherosclerosis was evaluated in Rat. Materials and methods: For the study, thirty male Wistar rats were divided into 2 groups (each group c...
متن کاملMfrp, a gene encoding a frizzled related protein, is mutated in the mouse retinal degeneration 6.
The autosomal recessive mouse mutation retinal degeneration 6 (rd6) causes small, white retinal spots and progressive photoreceptor degeneration similar to that observed in human flecked retinal diseases. Using a positional cloning approach, we determined that rd6 mice carry a splice donor mutation in the mouse homolog of the human membrane-type frizzled-related protein (Mfrp) gene that results...
متن کاملExtreme hyperopia is the result of null mutations in MFRP, which encodes a Frizzled-related protein.
Nanophthalmos is a rare disorder of eye development characterized by extreme hyperopia (farsightedness), with refractive error in the range of +8.00 to +25.00 diopters. Because the cornea and lens are normal in size and shape, hyperopia occurs because insufficient growth along the visual axis places these lensing components too close to the retina. Nanophthalmic eyes show considerable thickenin...
