Zebrafish Naked1 and Naked2 antagonize both canonical and non-canonical Wnt signaling.
Wnt signaling controls a wide range of developmental processes and its aberrant regulation can lead to disease. To better understand the regulation of this pathway, we identified zebrafish homologues of Naked Cuticle (Nkd), Nkd1 and Nkd2, which have previously been shown to inhibit canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling. Zebrafish nkd1 expression increases substantially after the mid-blastula tra...
متن کاملThe Canonical Wnt Signaling (Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway): A Potential Target for Cancer Prevention and Therapy
Precise regulation of signal transduction pathways is crucial for normal animal development and for maintaining cellular and tissue homeostasis in adults. The Wnt/Frizzled-mediated signaling includes canonical and non-canonical signal transduction pathways. Upregulation or downregulation of the canonical Wnt-signaling (or the Wnt/β-Catenin signal transduction) leads to a variety of human diseas...
متن کاملBoth Canonical and Non-Canonical Wnt Signaling Independently Promote Stem Cell Growth in Mammospheres
The characterization of mammary stem cells, and signals that regulate their behavior, is of central importance in understanding developmental changes in the mammary gland and possibly for targeting stem-like cells in breast cancer. The canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway is a signaling mechanism associated with maintenance of self-renewing stem cells in many tissues, including mammary epithelium, a...
متن کاملCanonical and Non-canonical Reelin Signaling
Reelin is a large secreted glycoprotein that is essential for correct neuronal positioning during neurodevelopment and is important for synaptic plasticity in the mature brain. Moreover, Reelin is expressed in many extraneuronal tissues; yet the roles of peripheral Reelin are largely unknown. In the brain, many of Reelin's functions are mediated by a molecular signaling cascade that involves tw...
متن کاملFunctional Consequences of Wnt-Induced Dishevelled2 Phosphorylation in Canonical and Non-Canonical Signaling*
Background: Wnt signaling causes phosphorylation of Dishevelled, but its functional significance is unclear. Result: Sites of Wnt-induced phosphorylation were mapped in Dvl2 and mutated to permit functional testing. Conclusion: Three CK1 phosphorylation sites in the C-terminal of Dvl2 account for the Wnt induced mobility shift and modulate signaling. Significance: Wnt-induced phosphorylation of...
