Wnt signaling is a key mediator of Cdx1 expression in vivo.
In the mouse, Cdx1 is essential for normal anteroposterior vertebral patterning through regulation of a subset of Hox genes. Retinoic acid (RA) and certain Wnts have also been implicated in vertebral patterning, although the relationship between these signaling pathways and the regulation of mesodermal Hox gene expression is not fully understood. Prior work has shown that Cdx1 is a direct targe...
متن کاملβ-catenin: a key mediator of Wnt signaling
β-catenin is a pivotal player in the signaling pathway initiated by Wnt proteins, mediators of several developmental processes. β-catenin activity is controlled by a large number of binding partners that affect the stability and the localization of β-catenin and is thereby able to participate in such varying processes as gene expression and cell adhesion. Activating mutations in β-catenin and i...
متن کاملThe Wnt signaling mediator tcf1 is required for expression of foxd3 during Xenopus gastrulation.
TCF1 belongs to the family of LEF1/TCF transcription factors that regulate gene expression downstream of Wnt/β-catenin signaling, which is crucial for embryonic development and is involved in adult stem cell regulation and tumor growth. In early Xenopus embryos, tcf1 plays an important role in mesoderm induction and patterning. Foxd3 emerged as a potential tcf1 target gene in a microarray analy...
متن کاملPeroxynitrite Is a Key Mediator of the Cardioprotection Afforded by Ischemic Postconditioning In Vivo
Myocardial ischemic postconditioning (PosC) describes an acquired resistance to lethal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury afforded by brief episodes of I/R applied immediately after the ischemic insult. Cardioprotection is conveyed by parallel signaling pathways converging to prevent mitochondria permeability transition. Recent observations indicated that PostC is associated with free radicals g...
متن کاملRole of TAZ as Mediator of Wnt Signaling
Wnt growth factors are fundamental regulators of cell fate, but how the Wnt signal is translated into biological responses is incompletely understood. Here, we report that TAZ, a biologically potent transcriptional coactivator, serves as a downstream element of the Wnt/β-catenin cascade. This function of TAZ is independent from its well-established role as mediator of Hippo signaling. In the ab...
