Wnt Signaling: It Gets More Humorous with Age
نویسندگان
چکیده
In addition to its myriad of contributions in development, disease and regeneration, recent research implicates the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling cascade in yet another biological process - aging. The latest role of Wnt uncovers new complexities and opportunities for modulating the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway in regenerative medicine.

Interaction of viral oncogenic proteins with the Wnt signaling pathway
It is estimated that up to 20% of all types of human cancers worldwide are attributed to viruses. The genome of oncogenic viruses carries genes that have protein products that act as oncoproteins in cell proliferation and transformation. The modulation of cell cycle control mechanisms, cellular regulatory and signaling pathways by oncogenic viruses, plays an important role in viral carcinogenes...
متن کاملActivation of Wnt signaling reduces high-glucose mediated damages on skin fibroblast cells
Objective(s): High-glucose (HG) stress, a mimic of diabetes mellitus (DM) in culture cells, alters expression of a large number of genes including Wnt and NF-κB signaling-related genes; however, the role of Wnt signaling during HG-mediated fibroblast damage and the relationship between Wnt and NF-κB signaling have not been understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the ffects of Wnt sig...
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...

Background: Atrophy in skeletal muscle plays an important role in disease-related tissue dysfunction such as sarcopenia. The Wnt-signaling pathway has been shown to be critical for skeletal muscle development. Current evidence suggests that exercise trainings may alter hypertrophy-related signaling in skeletal muscle. Therefore, the purpose of this study was investigating the effect of three mo...
متن کاملThe Role of Wnt/β-catenin Signaling Pathway in Rat Primordial Germ Cells Reprogramming and Induction into Pluripotent State
Primordial Germ Cells (PGCs) are unipotent precursors of the gametes. PGCs can give rise to a type of pluripotent stem cells in vitro that are called embryonic germ (EG) cells. PGCs can also acquire such pluripotency in vivo and generate teratomas. Under specific culture conditions, PGCs can be reprogrammed to embryonic germ cells which are capable of expression of key pluripotency marker...
