Loss of primary cilia promotes EphA2‐mediated endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in the ovarian tumor microenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Loss of primary cilia in endothelial cells promotes EndMT and vascular abnormalities in the ovarian tumor microenvironment through EphA2 activation. Using human samples, in vitro models, and endothelial‐specific Kif3a‐knockout mice, we show that primary cilia loss drives the acquisition of cancer‐associated fibroblast‐like phenotypes, thereby ...

Oncogenic potential of N-terminal deletion and S45Y mutant β-catenin in promoting hepatocellular carcinoma development in mice

open access: yesBMC Cancer, 2018
Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide with limited treatment options. Mutation of β-catenin is one of the most frequent genetic events along hepatocarcinogenesis.

δ‐Catenin regulates proliferation and apoptosis in renal cell carcinoma via promoting β‐catenin nuclear localization and activating its downstream target genes

open access: yesCancer Medicine, 2020
δ‐Catenin is a unique member of the catenin family and is proved to be overexpressed in diverse human cancer types. However, the clinical significance and underling mechanism of δ‐catenin expression in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remain elusive.

Therapeutic applications of a novel humanized monoclonal antibody targeting chemokine receptor CCR9 in pancreatic cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
C–C chemokine receptor type 9 (CCR9) is an immune checkpoint in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Novel anti‐CCR9 antibody SRB2 was evaluated in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapy in PDAC cells, patient‐derived organoids, patient‐derived xenografts, and humanized mouse models.

Unsaturated Fatty Acids Stimulate Tumor Growth through Stabilization of β-Catenin

open access: yesCell Reports, 2015
Some cancer cells exhibit elevated levels of free fatty acids (FAs) as well as high levels of β-catenin, a transcriptional co-activator that promotes their growth. Here, we link these two phenomena by showing that unsaturated FAs inhibit degradation of β-

β-catenin and γ-catenin are dispensable for T lymphocytes and AML leukemic stem cells

open access: yeseLife, 2020
The β-catenin transcriptional coregulator is involved in various biological and pathological processes; however, its requirements in hematopoietic cells remain controversial. We re-targeted theCtnnb1gene locus to generate a true β-catenin-null mutant mouse strain.

BMP antagonist CHRDL2 enhances the cancer stem‐cell phenotype and increases chemotherapy resistance in colorectal cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Overexpression of CHRDL2 in colon cancer cells makes them more stem‐like and resistant to chemo‐ and radiotherapy. CHRDL2‐high cells have upregulation of the WNT pathway, genes involved in the DNA damage response (DDR) pathway and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT). This leads to quicker repair of damaged DNA and more cell migration.

Independent interactions of phosphorylated β-catenin with E-cadherin at cell-cell contacts and APC at cell protrusions. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
The APC tumour suppressor functions in several cellular processes including the regulation of β-catenin in Wnt signalling and in cell adhesion and migration.In this study, we establish that in epithelial cells N-terminally phosphorylated β-catenin ...

Phosphorylation of β-catenin results in lack of β-catenin signaling in melanoma

open access: yesInternational Journal of Oncology, 2011
The Wnt/β-catenin pathway is involved in differentiation events during embryonic development and is further described as a pathway often participating in tumor formation when aberrantly activated. Molecular studies concentrating on colorectal cancer revealed mutations of apc, ctnnbi, btrc and tcf-4 genes which mimic Wnt stimulation.

β‐catenin, cartilage, and osteoarthritis [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2010
The early cellular events during the development of osteoarthritis (OA) are accelerated articular chondrocyte maturation and extracellular matrix degradation, which are usually seen in the weight‐bearing region of articular cartilage. The results of our recent studies from transgenic OA mouse models indicate that upregulation of β‐catenin signaling in ...
