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.

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 ...

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).

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, 2016 In continuation with the previous review on "β-catenin in health", in this review we discuss the role of β-catenin in the pathogenesis of common oral lesions in the oral and maxillofacial region- oral potentially malignant disorders, their progression to oral squamous cell carcinoma, salivary gland tumors and odontogenic tumours.

IGFBP-3 inhibits Wnt signaling in metastatic melanoma cells. [PDF]
, 2016 In previous works, we have shown that insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3), a tissue and circulating protein able to bind to IGFs, decreases drastically in the blood serum of patients with diffuse metastatic melanoma.

Regulation of slow and fast muscle myofibrillogenesis by Wnt/beta-catenin and myostatin signaling. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Deviation from proper muscle development or homeostasis results in various myopathic conditions. Employing genetic as well as chemical intervention, we provide evidence that a tight regulation of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling is essential for muscle fiber ...

Molecular and cellular pathogenesis of adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma. [PDF]
, 2015 Adamantinomatous craniopharyngiomas (ACPs) are the most common pituitary tumours in children. Although histologically benign, these are clinically aggressive tumours, difficult to manage and associated with poor quality of life for the patients.
