Colorectal cancer results from the malignant transformation of colonic epithelial cells. Stromal fibroblasts are the main component of the tumour microenvironment, and play an important role in the progression of this and other neoplasias. Wnt/β-catenin signalling is essential for colon homeostasis, but aberrant, constitutive activation of this pathway is a hallmark of colorectal cancer. Here w...
Wnt proteins control diverse biological processes through β-catenin-dependent canonical signalling and β-catenin-independent non-canonical signalling. The mechanisms by which these signalling pathways are differentially triggered and controlled are not fully understood. Dishevelled (Dvl) is a scaffold protein that serves as the branch point of these pathways. Here, we show that cholesterol sele...
Migration of neural crest cells is an elaborate process that requires the delamination of cells from an epithelium and cell movement into an extracellular matrix. In this work, it is shown for the first time that the non-canonical Wnt signalling [planar cell polarity (PCP) or Wnt-Ca2+] pathway controls migration of neural crest cells. By using specific Dsh mutants, we show that the canonical Wn...
The non-canonical Wnt/planar cell polarity (Wnt/PCP) pathway plays a crucial role in embryonic development. Recent work has linked defects of this pathway to breast cancer aggressiveness and proposed Wnt/PCP signalling as a therapeutic target. Here we show that the archetypal Wnt/PCP protein VANGL2 is overexpressed in basal breast cancers, associated with poor prognosis and implicated in tumour...
The Wnt signal transduction pathway regulates morphogenesis and mitogenesis of cells in multicellular organisms. A major downstream consequence of Wnt-1 signalling is the activation of beta-catenin/T-cell factor (TCF)-mediated transcription. We compared Wnt-1-transformed murine mammary epithelial cells with control cells by subtractive hybridization. We found the two genes Nr4a1 and Herpud1 to ...
Aberrant expression of Fos-related antigen-1 (Fra1) is commonly elevated in various malignant cancers and is strongly implicated in invasion and metastasis. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying its dysregulation in human glioma remain poorly understood. In the present study, we demonstrate that up-regulation of Fra1 plays a crucial role in the glioma aggressiveness and epithelial-mesenc...
Short germ embryos elongate their primary body axis by consecutively adding segments from a posteriorly located growth zone. Wnt signalling is required for axis elongation in short germ arthropods, including Tribolium castaneum, but the precise functions of the different Wnt receptors involved in this process are unclear. We analysed the individual and combinatorial functions of the three Wnt r...
This study aims to observe whether Collagen Triple Helix Repeat Containing-1 (CTHRC1) can promote the proliferation, migration and invasion of prostate cancer cells by regulating the activity of the Wnt/PCP signalling pathway. CTHRC1 expression in prostate cancer tissues and cells was detected by RT-PCR. PcDNA3.1-CTHRC1 and CTHRC1 siRNA was transfected into prostate cancer PC3 cells using elect...
Germ cells are the foundation of an individual, since they generate the gametes and provide the unique genome established through meiosis. The sex-specific fate of the germline in mammals is thought to be controlled by somatic signals, which are still poorly characterized. We demonstrate here that somatic Wnt signalling is crucial for the control of female germline development. Wnt-4 maintains ...
It has been observed by many authors that cigarette smoking results in long standing epithelial damage and interstitial inflammation within the lung. Quitting strongly reduces the risk of smoking associated lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but the underlying inflammation of the airways does not go away completely even after quitting smoking. So, a critical que...
