Hydrostatic pressure activates HIF‐1α via β‐catenin to promote stemness in breast cancer cells

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
To mimic the elevated intestinal fluid pressure in breast cancers, we loaded human breast cancer cells (MCF‐7, MDA‐MB‐453, and BT‐474) to 50 mmHg hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure exposure upregulated HIF‐1α and induced stemness in MCF‐7 and BT‐474 cells.

Prostate cancer stem cell fate: β-catenin and the Wnt pathway [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A major problem in prostate cancer is the high relapse rate post therapy. This is believed to be due to the presence of a small number of prostate cancer stem cells within a tumour.

Endothelial Wnt/β-catenin signaling inhibits glioma angiogenesis and normalizes tumor blood vessels by inducing PDGF-B expression

open access: yes, 2012
Endothelial Wnt/β-catenin signaling is necessary for angiogenesis of the central nervous system and blood–brain barrier (BBB) differentiation, but its relevance for glioma vascularization is unknown. In this study, we show that doxycycline-dependent Wnt1

Effects of IGFBP4 deficiency on human preadipocyte proliferation and differentiation through the IGF1R/AKT pathway

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
IGFBP4 knockdown (KD) impairs preadipocyte proliferation and is associated with IGF1R protein downregulation and attenuated AKT phosphorylation. The mechanisms by which IGFBP4 KD influences the IGF1R/AKT signaling pathway involve newly synthesized proteins and lysosomal degradation pathways. Created in BioRender.

Beta-catenin-positive area was decreased after ovariectomy (OVX) and increased after midkine-antibody (Mdk-Ab) treatment.

open access: yes, 2016
A) Sections of fractured femurs from four mice of each group were stained for beta-catenin and counterstained using hematoxylin. Representative images of the periosteal callus proximal to the osteotomy gap at day 10 after fracture are shown.

β‐Catenin/c‐Myc Axis Modulates Autophagy Response to Different Ammonia Concentrations

open access: yesAdvanced Biology, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2025.
Ammonia, detoxified by the liver into urea and glutamine, impacts autophagy differently at varying levels. Low ammonia activates autophagy via c‐Myc and β‐catenin, while high levels suppress it. Using Huh7 cells and Spf‐ash mice, c‐Myc's role in cytoprotective autophagy is revealed, offering insights into hyperammonemia and potential therapeutic ...

Engineering of Glioblastoma‐Derived Biomimetic Vesicles and Their Structural and Molecular Features

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biomimetic nanosystems and vesicles have arisen as a novel approach to design vesicular transport systems with diverse therapeutic potential. The ‘biomimetic’ strategy involves the integration of cell membrane components into lipid bilayers, conferring them with biological properties originating from the cell of origin. Until now, most studies

Inhibition of the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway improves the anti-tumor effects of sorafenib against hepatocellular carcinoma

open access: yes, 2017
Sorafenib, a multikinase inhibitor, is currently the only approved drug for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The current study tested the hypothesis whether inhibition of the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway could improve the anti-tumor effects

The role of the transcription factor Sox9 for thymic epithelial cell differentation and function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The thymus provides throughout life the specialized stromal microenvironment required for the lifelong generation of naïve T cells. This vital function is dependent on the regular composition and organization of its microenvironment, where specialized ...
