Sperm Motility Requires Wnt/GSK3 Stabilization of Proteins [PDF]

open access: yesDevelopmental Cell, 2015
Inhibition of GSK3 by Wnt signaling stabilizes many cellular proteins, but proof that this effect is independent of β-catenin-mediated transcription is lacking. Koch, Acebron, and colleagues (2015) now demonstrate that transcriptionally silent mammalian sperm require Wnt signaling via exosomes to prevent protein degradation during their lengthy travels

Dose‐dependent induction of epithelial‐mesenchymal transition in 3D melanoma models by non‐thermal plasma treatment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Non‐thermal plasma treatment of melanoma cells induced epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in a dose‐dependent fashion. This report highlights the critical need to further investigate potential adverse effects of non‐thermal plasma for cancer therapy and to optimize treatment parameters for clinical translation. Despite the promising results of non‐

Canonical Wnt signaling induces focal adhesion and Integrin beta-1 endocytosis

open access: yesiScience, 2022
Summary: During canonical Wnt signaling, the Wnt receptor complex is sequestered together with glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) and Axin inside late endosomes, known as multivesicular bodies (MVBs).

Wnt activity guides facial branchiomotor neuron migration, and involves the PCP pathway and JNK and ROCK kinases

open access: yesNeural Development, 2009
Background Wnt proteins play roles in many biological processes, including axon guidance and cell migration. In the mammalian hindbrain, facial branchiomotor (FBM) neurons undergo a striking rostral to caudal migration, yet little is known of the ...

DVL1 and DVL3 require nuclear localisation to regulate proliferation in human myoblasts

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
WNT signalling is essential for regulating a diverse range of cellular processes. In skeletal muscle, the WNT pathway plays crucial roles in maintenance of the stem cell pool and myogenic differentiation.

Parameter-free methods distinguish Wnt pathway models and guide design of experiments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The canonical Wnt signaling pathway, mediated by $\beta$-catenin, is crucially involved in development, adult stem cell tissue maintenance and a host of diseases including cancer. We undertake analysis of different mathematical models of Wnt from the literature, and compare them to a new mechanistic model of Wnt signaling that targets spatial ...

Frizzled Proteins are bona fide G Protein-Coupled Receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Receptors of the Frizzled family initiate Wnt ligand-dependent signaling controlling multiple steps in organism development and highly conserved in evolution. Misactivation of the Wnt/Frizzled signaling is cancerogenic.

Wnt/Lef1 signaling acts via Pitx2 to regulate somite myogenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Wnt signaling has been implicated in somite, limb, and branchial arch myogenesis but the mechanisms and roles are not clear. We now show that Wnt signaling via Lef1 acts to regulate the number of premyogenic cells in somites but does not regulate ...

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 ...

Smad7:β-catenin Complex Regulates Myogenic Gene Transcription [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Recent reports indicate that Smad7 promotes skeletal muscle differentiation and growth. We previously documented a non-canonical role of nuclear Smad7 during myogenesis, independent of its role in TGF-β signaling.
