LRP6 High Bone Mass Characterized in Two Generations Harboring a Unique Mutation of Low‐Density Lipoprotein Receptor‐Related Protein 6

open access: yesJBMR Plus, 2023
Osteoblast Wnt/β‐catenin signaling conditions skeletal development and health. Bone formation is stimulated when on the osteoblast surface a Wnt binds to low‐density lipoprotein receptor‐related protein 5 (LRP5) or 6 (LRP6), in turn coupled to a frizzled

Structure-based Discovery of Novel Small Molecule Wnt Signaling Inhibitors by Targeting the Cysteine-rich Domain of Frizzled. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Frizzled is the earliest discovered glycosylated Wnt protein receptor and is critical for the initiation of Wnt signaling. Antagonizing Frizzled is effective in inhibiting the growth of multiple tumor types.

For Wnt Signaling, Fucosylation of LRP6 Is a Bitter Pill [PDF]

open access: yesCell Chemical Biology, 2020
In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Hong et al. (2020) use in situ chemoenzymatic labeling to discover that fucosylation of the Wnt co-receptor LRP6 induces its endocytosis and downregulates Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Their findings reveal a glycosylation-based mechanism for regulating Wnt signaling that could be targeted in cancer.

Cell-type specific potent Wnt signaling blockade by bispecific antibody. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Cell signaling pathways are often shared between normal and diseased cells. How to achieve cell type-specific, potent inhibition of signaling pathways is a major challenge with implications for therapeutic development.

Maintenance of stemness is associated with the interation of LRP6 and heparin-binding protein CCN2 autocrined by hepatocellular carcinoma

open access: yesJournal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2017
Background The overall response rate of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to chemotherapy is poor. In our previous study, oxaliplatin-resistant HCC is found to exhibit an enhanced stemness, and increased levels of CCN2 and LRP6, while the role of CCN2 and ...

Lung Cancer in Pulmonary Fibrosis: Tales of Epithelial Cell Plasticity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Lung epithelial cells exhibit a high degree of plasticity. Alterations to lung epithelial cell function are critically involved in several chronic lung diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis.

Rare LRP6 Variants Identified in Spina Bifida Patients [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Mutation, 2015
Several single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) in low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (Lrp6) cause neural tube defects (NTDs) in mice. We therefore examined LRP6 in 192 unrelated infants from California with the NTD, spina bifida, and found four heterozygous missense SNVs, three of which were predicted to be deleterious, among NTD cases and ...

N-Glycosylation of LRP6 by B3GnT2 Promotes Wnt/β-Catenin Signalling

open access: yesCells, 2023
Reception of Wnt signals by cells is predominantly mediated by Frizzled receptors in conjunction with a co-receptor, the latter being LRP6 or LRP5 for the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway.

Dissecting the impact of Frizzled receptors in Wnt/beta-catenin signaling of human mesenchymal stem cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 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).

Spina bifida-predisposing heterozygous mutations in Planar Cell Polarity genes and Zic2 reduce bone mass in young mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Fractures are a common comorbidity in children with the neural tube defect (NTD) spina bifida. Mutations in the Wnt/planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway contribute to NTDs in humans and mice, but whether this pathway independently determines bone mass is ...
