P-88: Assessing Expression Changes of Some Wnt Pathway Genes During Goat Early Embryonic Development

Background: The developmental competency of embryos is affected by several factors, including the developmental pathways and their elements. In mammalian species including goat, fertilized oocyte undergoes several divisions to form a structure called blastocyst. These events depend on the successful control of temporal and spatial expression of genes involved in genome activation. One of the cr...

Frizzled/WNT signalling: the insidious promoter of tumour growth and progression.

The recognition that the processes involved in tumour formation are strikingly similar to developmental morphogenetic processes, such as gastrulation, has refashioned our approach to cancer research. Wnt and its receptor Frizzled govern the morphogenetic processes of gastrulation. Directed cell movements during gastrulation require the cells to undergo transient epithelial to mesenchymal transi...

The 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...

Prediction of Structure of Human WNT-CRD (FZD) Complex for Computational Drug Repurposing

The observed genetic alterations of various extracellular and intracellular WNT (Wingless, Int-1 proto-oncogene) signaling components can result in an increase or decrease in gene expression, and hence can be obstructed proficiently. These genetics target sites may include the prevention of WNT-FZD (Frizzled) binding, destruction of β-catenin and formation of Axin, APC and GSK-3β complex. Hence...
