β-Catenin regulates endocardial cushion growth by suppressing p21
This work demonstrates that β-catenin–mediated suppression of p21 is essential for endocardial cushion formation, suggesting a potential role of β-catenin in the etiology of congenital heart defects.

Deletion of a Single beta-Catenin Allele in Osteocytes Abolishes the Bone Anabolic Response to Loading [PDF]
The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is essential for bone cell viability and function and for skeletal integrity. To determine if β-catenin in osteocytes plays a role in the bone anabolic response to mechanical loading, 18- to 24-week-old osteocyte β ...

Unsaturated Fatty Acids Stimulate Tumor Growth through Stabilization of β-Catenin
Some cancer cells exhibit elevated levels of free fatty acids (FAs) as well as high levels of β-catenin, a transcriptional co-activator that promotes their growth. Here, we link these two phenomena by showing that unsaturated FAs inhibit degradation of β-

Silymarin targets β-catenin signaling in blocking migration/invasion of human melanoma cells. [PDF]
Metastatic melanoma is a leading cause of death from skin diseases, and is often associated with activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. We have examined the inhibitory effect of silymarin, a plant flavanoid from Silybum marianum, on cell ...

Ixazomib enhances parathyroid hormone-induced β-catenin/T-cell factor signaling by dissociating β-catenin from the parathyroid hormone receptor. [PDF]
The anabolic action of PTH in bone is mostly mediated by cAMP/PKA and Wnt-independent activation of β-catenin/T-cell factor (TCF) signaling. β-Catenin switches the PTH receptor (PTHR) signaling from cAMP/PKA to PLC/PKC activation by binding to the PTHR ...

Ectopic γ-catenin expression partially mimics the effects of stabilized β-catenin on embryonic stem cell differentiation. [PDF]
β-catenin, an adherens junction component and key Wnt pathway effector, regulates numerous developmental processes and supports embryonic stem cell (ESC) pluripotency in specific contexts.

Differentiation Therapy Targeting the β-Catenin/CBP Interaction in Pancreatic Cancer. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Although canonical Wnt signaling is known to promote tumorigenesis in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), a cancer driven principally by mutant K-Ras, the detailed molecular mechanisms by which the Wnt effector β-catenin regulates such ...
