Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is a direct enhancer of thyroid transcription factor-1 in human papillary thyroid carcinoma cells. [PDF]
The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is involved in the normal development of thyroid gland, but its disregulation provokes the appearance of several types of cancers, including papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC) which are the most common thyroid tumours.

Protein expression of TCF-4 isoforms J and K.
(A) Organization of the “short” (A, B) and the “long” (J, K) isoforms; TCF-4B and J lack the SxxSS motif. (B) Confocal laser-scanning microscopy demonstrates nuclear localization of TCF-4J and TCF-4K (green). Nuclei are counterstained by DAPI.

Tcf-4 knockdown suppresses Wnt signaling in colon cancer cells.
SW480 and HCT116 cells were treated with adenoviruses (50 MOI) carrying shRNA. a, At 24 h post-infection, the cells were cotransfected with reporter genes harboring Tcf-4 binding sites (TOPflash) or a mutant Tcf-binding site (FOPflash), respectively ...
