A reappraisal of transcriptional regulation by NR5A1 and beta-catenin in adrenocortical carcinoma [PDF]
BackgroundOverexpression of the transcription factor NR5A1 and constitutive activation of canonical Wnt signalling leading to nuclear translocation of beta-catenin are hallmarks of malignancy in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC).

Transcriptome analysis of beta-catenin-related genes in CD34+ haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells from patients with AML [PDF]
Background: Acute myeloid leukaemia(AML) is a disease of the haematopoietic stem cells. Beta-catenin, a key element of the Wnt signalling, which is particularly active in various cancers.

β-Catenin signaling increases during melanoma progression and promotes tumor cell survival and chemoresistance. [PDF]
Beta-catenin plays an important role in embryogenesis and carcinogenesis by controlling either cadherin-mediated cell adhesion or transcriptional activation of target gene expression.

GSK3beta is involved in JNK2-mediated beta-catenin inhibition. [PDF]
We have recently reported that mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) JNK1 downregulates beta-catenin signaling and plays a critical role in regulating intestinal homeostasis and in suppressing tumor formation.

CK1epsilon is required for breast cancers dependent on beta-catenin activity. [PDF]
Aberrant beta-catenin signaling plays a key role in several cancer types, notably colon, liver and breast cancer. However approaches to modulate beta-catenin activity for therapeutic purposes have proven elusive to date.To uncover genetic dependencies in

Beta-catenin signaling plays a disparate role in different phases of fracture repair: implications for therapy to improve bone healing. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Delayed fracture healing causes substantial disability and usually requires additional surgical treatments. Pharmacologic management to improve fracture repair would substantially improve patient outcome.

β-catenin takes a HIT [PDF]
Histidine triad (HIT) proteins represent a small family of nucleotide-binding and -hydrolyzing proteins, which attracted the attention of cancer biologists because their expression is lost in multiple human malignancies. To some of the family members including Fhit, Hint1 and Hint2, a tumor suppressive activity was assigned.

Inhibition of GSK3 phosphorylation of beta-catenin via phosphorylated PPPSPXS motifs of Wnt coreceptor LRP6. [PDF]
The Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway plays essential roles in cell proliferation and differentiation, and deregulated beta-catenin protein levels lead to many types of human cancers.

Beta-catenin signaling negatively regulates intermediate progenitor population numbers in the developing cortex. [PDF]
Intermediate progenitor cells constitute a second proliferative cell type in the developing mammalian cerebral cortex. Little is known about the factors that govern the production of intermediate progenitors.
