Wnt5a Signaling in Normal and Cancer Stem Cells. [PDF]
, 2017 Wnt5a is involved in activating several noncanonical Wnt signaling pathways, which can inhibit or activate canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in a receptor context-dependent manner.

Functions of p120ctn isoforms in cell-cell adhesion and intracellular signaling [PDF]
, 2012 The functions of many organs depend on the generation of an epithelium. The transition from a set of loosely connected nonpolarized cells to organized sheets of closely associated polarized epithelial cells requires the assembly of specialized cell ...

Thyroid Hormone Receptor alpha-1 Directly Controls Transcription of the beta-Catenin Gene in Intestinal Epithelial Cells [PDF]
, 2006 Thyroid hormones, T3 and T4, are known regulators of intestine development. The best characterized example is the remodeling of the gastrointestinal tract during amphibian metamorphosis.

Quercetin treatment reduces the severity of renal dysplasia in a beta-catenin dependent manner.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Renal dysplasia, the major cause of childhood renal failure, is characterized by defective branching morphogenesis and nephrogenesis. Beta-catenin, a transcription factor and cell adhesion molecule, is markedly increased in the nucleus of kidney cells in

The dynamic role of beta-catenin in synaptic plasticity [PDF]
Neuropharmacology, 2012 In addition to its role in development and cell proliferation, β-catenin has been implicated in neuronal synapse regulation and remodeling. Here we review basic molecular and structural mechanisms of synaptic plasticity, followed by a description of the structure and function of β-catenin. We then describe a role for β-catenin in the cellular processes

Epstein-Barr Virus, Beta-Catenin, and E-cadherin in Gastric Carcinomas [PDF]
, 2007 Activated beta-catenin is suggested to inhibit NF-kappaB activation, and we previously demonstrated that NF-kappaB nuclear positivity was more frequent in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-infected gastric carcinomas.

miRNA‐29 regulates epidermal and mesenchymal functions in skin repair
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.miRNA‐29 inhibits cell‐to‐cell and cell‐to‐matrix adhesion by silencing mRNA targets. Adhesion is controlled by complex interactions between many types of molecules coded by mRNAs. This is crucial for keeping together the layers of the skin and for regenerating the skin after wounding.

Ethacrynic acid exhibits selective toxicity to chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells by inhibition of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Aberrant activation of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling promotes the development of several cancers. It has been demonstrated that the Wnt signaling pathway is activated in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells, and that uncontrolled Wnt/beta ...
