Dissecting the impact of Frizzled receptors in Wnt/beta-catenin signaling of human mesenchymal stem cells [PDF]
, 2012 Wnt/beta-catenin signaling is of fundamental importance in the regulation of self-renewal, migration/invasion, and differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs).

Expression of dickkopf-1 and beta-catenin related to the prognosis of breast cancer patients with triple negative phenotype. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND AND AIM: We investigated the prognostic importance of dickkopf-1(DKK1) and beta-catenin expression in triple negative breast cancers. METHODS: The expression of DKK1 and beta-catenin was evaluated in breast cell lines using RT-PCR and western ...

Receptor and secreted targets of Wnt-1/beta-catenin signalling in mouse mammary epithelial cells. [PDF]
, 2005 BackgroundDeregulation of the Wnt/ beta-catenin signal transduction pathway has been implicated in the pathogenesis of tumours in the mammary gland, colon and other tissues. Mutations in components of this pathway result in beta-catenin stabilization and

Dickkopfs and Wnt/β-catenin signalling in liver cancer [PDF]
, 2011 Liver cancer is the fifth and seventh most common cause of cancer in men and women, respectively. Wnt/beta-catenin signalling has emerged as a critical player in both the development of normal liver as well as an oncogenic driver in hepatocellular ...

A lentivirus-mediated genetic screen identifies dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) as a modulator of beta-catenin/GSK3 signaling. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 The multi-protein beta-catenin destruction complex tightly regulates beta-catenin protein levels by shuttling beta-catenin to the proteasome. Glycogen synthase kinase 3beta (GSK3beta), a key serine/threonine kinase in the destruction complex, is ...

Alteration of Subcellular Beta Catenin Expression in Normal Mucosa Adenoma and Carcinoma in Relation to Colorectal Carcinogenesis [PDF]
, 2010 Background: Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene mutation was found in up to 80% of cases of sporadic colorectal cancers and adenomas. Loss of APC protein function has been known as one of the early process in colorectal carcinogenesis. This event leads

HGF/c-Met related activation of β-catenin in hepatoblastoma
Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2011 Background Activation of beta-catenin is a hallmark of hepatoblastoma (HB) and appears to play a crucial role in its pathogenesis. While aberrant accumulation of the beta-catenin is a common event in HB, mutations or deletions in CTNNB1 (beta-catenin ...

Physiological beta-catenin signaling controls self-renewal networks and generation of stem-like cells from nasopharyngeal carcinoma [PDF]
, 2013 BACKGROUND: A few reports suggested that low levels of Wnt signaling might drive cell reprogramming, but these studies could not establish a clear relationship between Wnt signaling and self-renewal networks.
