Pharmacological interventions in the Wnt pathway: inhibition of Wnt secretion versus disrupting the protein–protein interfaces of nuclear factors [PDF]
British Journal of Pharmacology, 2017 Mutations in components of the Wnt pathways are a frequent cause of many human diseases, particularly cancer. Despite the fact that a causative link between aberrant Wnt signalling and many types of human cancers was established more than a decade ago, no Wnt signalling inhibitors have made it into the clinic so far.

Wnt Modification by Tiki Proteins
The FASEB Journal, 2015 We focus on understanding the molecular mechanism of Wnt signaling in vertebrate development, stem cell regulation, and human cancer and diseases. We are interested in canonical Wnt/b‐catenin signaling and noncanonical Wnt signaling pathways. We employ molecular, structural, cellular, and developmental approaches in Xenopus, mice, and human cell ...

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.

Lipid-independent Secretion of a Drosophila Wnt Protein [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2008 Wnt proteins comprise a large class of secreted signaling molecules with key roles during embryonic development and throughout adult life. Recently, much effort has been focused on understanding the factors that regulate Wnt signal production. For example, Porcupine and Wntless/Evi/Sprinter have been identified as being required in Wnt-producing cells ...

Use of a molecular genetic platform technology to produce human Wnt proteins reveals distinct local and distal signaling abilities. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Functional and mechanistic studies of Wnt signaling have been severely hindered by the inaccessibility of bioactive proteins. To overcome this long-standing barrier, we engineered and characterized a panel of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines with ...
