A great deal is known about the molecular mechanisms regulating terminal differentiation of pre-adipocytes into mature adipocytes. In contrast, the knowledge about pathways that trigger commitment of mesenchymal stem cells into the adipocyte lineage is fragmented. In recent years, the role of members of the bone morphogenic protein family in regulating the early steps of adipogenesis has been the focus of research. Findings based on these studies have also highlighted an unexpected role for some bone morphogenic protein in energy homeostasis via regulation of adipocyte development and function. This review summarizes the knowledge about bone morphogenic proteins and their role in adipocyte commitment and regulation of whole body energy homeostasis. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Brown and White Fat: From Signaling to Disease. 相似文献

WNT signaling activity is involved in the regulation of many cellular functions, including proliferation, migration, cell fate specification, maintenance of pluripotency and induction of tumorigenicity. Here we summarize recent progress towards understanding the regulation of canonical WNT/β-catenin signaling activity through feedback regulatory loops involving the ligands, agonists and antagonists, the availability of intracellular pools of active β-catenin and the cross-regulation of the WNT activity by β-catenin independent pathway. We also review recent findings on the role of WNT/β-catenin signaling in tissue lineage differentiation during embryogenesis and the maintenance and self renewal of embryo-derived stem cells in vitro. 相似文献

The purpose of the study was to investigate an effect of estrus synchronization with prostaglandin (PG) F2α and PMSG/hCG on WNT4, WNT5A, WNT7A, β-catenin (CTNNB1) and E-cadherin (CDH1) gene expression. The weight of the uterus, morphometrical parameters of the endometrium and the number of CL were recorded. The analysis of estradiol (E2), prostaglandin (PG) F2α and E2 content in the uterine luminal flushings (ULFs) and progesterone (P4) level in the blood serum were conducted. RNA was isolated from endometrial, luteal and embryonic tissue of pregnant non-synchronized (Control; n = 15) and pregnant synchronized (PGF2α/PMSG/hCG; n = 15) pigs. Whereas there was no change in uterine weight, differences in height of endometrial surface and glandular epithelium were found. However, height of the endometrium, number of the glands and capillaries were unaffected. The total number of the CLs was higher (P < 0.05) in animals treated with PGF2α/PMSG/hCG. The amount of E2 and P4 was lower (P < 0.05, P < 0.001, respectively) in pregnant gilts administrated with PGF2α/PMSG/hCG. The concentration of PGF2α in ULFs was not affected by hormonal management, while PGE2 was higher (P < 0.01) in hormonally in comparison to non-hormonally treated pigs. The content of WNT4 mRNA in conceptuses increased on particular Days studied in Control and PGF2α/PMSG/hCG administered animals. WNT7A and CTNNB1 were affected by PGF2α/PMSG/hCG treatment in both conceptuses (P < 0.001, P < 0.05) and endometrial tissue (P < 0.001, P < 0.01). The PGF2α/PMSG/hCG treatment resulted in elevated expression of WNT4 (P < 0.001) and CTNNB1 (P < 0.05) in luteal tissue in comparison to the Control gilts. Moreover, luteal amount of WNT5A mRNA was higher in PGF2α/PMSG/hCG animals in comparison to the Control group (P < 0.05). Presented data show that exogenous hormones administration can affect gene expression in the porcine reproductive tract and embryo. 相似文献

Mouse embryos lacking Gsc and Dkk1 function display severe deficiencies in craniofacial structures which are not found in either Dkk1 homozygous null or Gsc homozygous null mutant embryos. Loss of Gsc has a dosage-related effect on the severity of head truncation phenotype in Dkk1 heterozygous embryos. The synergistic effect of these mutations in enhancing head truncation provides direct evidence of a genetic interaction between Gsc and Dkk1, which display overlapping expression in the prechordal mesoderm. In the absence of Gsc activity, the expression of Dkk1, WNT genes and a transgenic reporter for WNT signalling are altered. Our results show that Gsc and Dkk1 functions are non-redundant in the anterior mesendoderm for normal anterior development and Gsc may influence Wnt signalling as a negative regulator. 相似文献

Acute interstitial pneumonia (AIP) is an idiopathic pulmonary disease featuring rapid progressive dyspnea and respiratory failure. These symptoms typically develop within several days or weeks in patients without any pre-existing lung disease or external chest disease. Thymocyte differentiation antigen-1 (THY1) has been reported to have an effect on lung fibroblast proliferation and fibrogenic signaling. In this study, the mechanism of THY1 in AIP in influencing pulmonary fibrosis in terms of lung fibroblast proliferation and apoptosis was examined. An AIP mouse model with the pathological changes of lung tissues observed was established to identify the role of THY1 in the pathogenesis of AIP. The expression of THY1, a key regulator of the WNT pathway β-catenin and fibroblasts markers MMP-2, Occludin, α-SMA and Vimentin were determined. Lung fibroblasts of mice were isolated, in which THY1 expression was altered to identify roles THY1 plays in cell viability and apoptosis. A TOP/TOPflash assay was utilized to determine the activation of WNT pathway. Decrement of pulmonary fibrosis was achieved through THY1 up-regulation. The expression of MMP-2, Occludin, α-SMA, Vimentin and β-catenin, and the extent of β-catenin phosphorylation, significantly decreased, thereby indicating that THY1 overexpression inactivated WNT. Cell proliferation was inhibited and apoptosis was accelerated in lung fibroblasts transfected with vector carrying overexpressed THY1. Altogether, this study defines the potential role of THY1 in remission of AIP, via the upregulation of THY1, which renders the WNT pathway inactive. This inactivation of the WNT signaling pathway could alleviate pulmonary fibrosis by reducing lung fibroblast proliferation in AIP.
