Loss of β-catenin in cholangiocytes promotes hepatocyte reprogramming and vascular remodeling during murine cholestasis [PDF]

Cell Communication and Signaling
Background & aims The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is critical for liver homeostasis. We have previously shown that hepatocyte β-catenin plays a pleiotropic role in cholestatic injury.

Study of β-Catenin as Immunohistochemistry Marker in Women with Breast Cancer

Iraqi Journal of Science, 2021
Background & Objective: Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent disease among women around the world, considered the world's leading cause of death (15% of the total cancer deaths) in women in 2018. β-catenin is a multifunctional protein located in the cytoplasm and/or nucleus of the cell.

Discovery of novel small molecule activators of β-catenin signaling. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Wnt/β-catenin signaling plays a major role in embryonic development and adult stem cell maintenance. Reduced activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway underlies neurodegenerative disorders and aberrations in bone formation.

β-Catenin expression is associated with cell invasiveness in pancreatic cancer [PDF]

The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine, 2019
Background/Aims This study was tried to determine the role of β-catenin in invasion in pancreatic cancer. Methods We analyzed cancer invasiveness according to β-catenin expression in pancreatic cancer cell line.

The CK1δ/ϵ-Tip60 Axis Enhances Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling via Regulating β-Catenin Acetylation in Colon Cancer

Frontiers in Oncology, 2022
Casein kinase 1δ/ϵ (CK1δ/ϵ) are well-established positive modulators of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of β-catenin transcriptional activity by CK1δ/ϵ remain unclear.

Emerging Direct Targeting β-Catenin Agents

Molecules, 2022
Aberrant accumulation of β-catenin in the cell nucleus as a result of deregulation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway is found in various types of cancer. Direct β-catenin targeting agents are being researched despite obstacles; however, specific β-catenin ...

LEF-1 drives aberrant β-catenin nuclear localization in myeloid leukemia cells

Haematologica, 2019
Canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling is frequently dysregulated in myeloid leukemias and is implicated in leukemogenesis. Nuclear-localized β-catenin is indicative of active Wnt signaling and is frequently observed in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients ...

Diverse Basis of β-Catenin Activation in Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Implications in Biology and Prognosis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
β-catenin signaling is a major oncogenic pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Since β-catenin phosphorylation by glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) and casein kinase 1ε (CK1ε) results in its degradation, mutations affecting these phosphorylation ...

90K Glycoprotein Promotes Degradation of Mutant β-Catenin Lacking the ISGylation or Phosphorylation Sites in the N-terminus

Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2016
β-Catenin is a major transducer of the Wnt signaling pathway, which is aberrantly expressed in colorectal and other cancers. Previously, we showed that β-catenin is downregulated by the 90K glycoprotein via ISGylation-dependent degradation.

Oncogenic potential of N-terminal deletion and S45Y mutant β-catenin in promoting hepatocellular carcinoma development in mice

BMC Cancer, 2018
Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide with limited treatment options. Mutation of β-catenin is one of the most frequent genetic events along hepatocarcinogenesis.
