GαS, the stimulatory G protein α‐subunit that raises intracellular cAMP levels by activating adenylyl cyclase, plays a vital role in bone development, maintenance, and remodeling. Previously, using transgenic mice overexpressing GαS in osteoblasts (GS‐Tg)

Epithelial Wntless regulates postnatal alveologenesis
ABSTRACT Alveologenesis requires the coordinated modulation of the epithelial and mesenchymal compartments to generate mature alveolar saccules for efficient gas exchange. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the epithelial-mesenchymal interaction during alveologenesis are poorly understood.

The role of Evi/Wntless in exporting Wnt proteins
ABSTRACTIntercellular communication by Wnt proteins governs many essential processes during development, tissue homeostasis and disease in all metazoans. Many context-dependent effects are initiated in the Wnt-producing cells and depend on the export of lipidated Wnt proteins.

Concentration‐dependent effects of WNTLESS on WNT1/3A signaling [PDF]
Background: WNTLESS (WLS) is a multi‐transmembrane protein that transports Wnt ligands from the Golgi to the cell surface. Although WLS loss‐of‐function experiments in the developing central nervous system reveal phenotypes consistent with defects in WNT1 and WNT3A signaling, data from complementary gain‐of‐function experiments have not yet been ...

Wntless functions in mature osteoblasts to regulate bone mass [PDF]
Recent genome-wide association studies of individuals of Asian and European descent have found that SNPs located within the genomic region (1p31.3) encoding the Wntless (Wls)/Gpr177 protein are associated significantly with reduced bone mineral density.

Wntless in Wnt secretion: molecular, cellular and genetic aspects [PDF]
Throughout the animal kingdom, Wnt-triggered signal transduction pathways play fundamental roles in embryonic development and tissue homeostasis. Wnt proteins are modified as glycolipoproteins and are secreted into the extracellular environment as morphogens. Recent studies on the intracellular trafficking of Wnt proteins demonstrate multiple layers of

Abstract Abiraterone acetate has been clinically approved for the treatment of patients with advanced‐stage prostate cancer. It reduces testosterone production by blocking the enzyme cytochrome P450 17 alpha‐hydroxylase. Despite improved survival outcomes with abiraterone, almost all patients develop therapeutic resistance and disease recurrence ...

Natural products have been known to have important therapeutic properties. Glycyrrhizic acid, solanine, polyphyllin I, crocin, hypericin, tubeimoside‐1, diosmin, and rutin could serve as scaffolds or leads for new anticancer therapy/drug. Abstract Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway plays a role in cancer development, organogenesis, and embryogenesis.

Design of Nanohydrogels for Targeted Intracellular Drug Transport to the Trans‐Golgi Network
The design of polyglycidol‐based nanohydrogels for selective organelle targeting of therapeutic agents is reported with the example of the targeted retrograde transport of the antidiabetic peptide RS1‐reg to its site of action at the trans‐Golgi network, demonstrating that endosomal escape is not always required for specific intracellular drug ...
