Canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling regulates the activation of the myogenic determination gene Myf5 at the onset of myogenesis, but the underlying molecular mechanism is unknown. Here, we report that the Wnt signal is transduced in muscle progenitor cells by at least two Frizzled (Fz) receptors (Fz1 and/or Fz6), through the canonical beta-catenin pathway, in the epaxial domain of newly formed somites. We show that Myf5 activation is dramatically reduced by blocking the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway in somite progenitor cells, whereas expression of activated beta-catenin is sufficient to activate Myf5 in somites but not in the presomitic mesoderm. In addition, we identified Tcf/Lef sequences immediately 5' to the Myf5 early epaxial enhancer. These sites determine the correct spatiotemporal expression of Myf5 in the epaxial domain of the somite, mediating the synergistic action of the Wnt/beta-catenin and the Shh/Gli pathways. Taken together, these results demonstrate that Myf5 is a direct target of Wnt/beta-catenin, and that its full activation requires a cooperative interaction between the canonical Wnt and the Shh/Gli pathways in muscle progenitor cells. 相似文献

Functional activation of beta-catenin/Tcf signaling plays an important role in early events in carcinogenesis. We examined the effect of naringenin against beta-catenin/Tcf signaling in gastric cancer cells. Reporter gene assay showed that naringenin inhibited beta-catenin/Tcf signaling efficiently. In addition, the inhibition of beta-catenin/Tcf signaling by naringenin in HEK293 cells transiently transfected with constitutively mutant beta-catenin gene, whose product is not phosphorylated by GSK3beta, indicates that its inhibitory mechanism was related to beta-catenin itself or downstream components. To investigate the precise inhibitory mechanism, we performed immunofluorescence, Western blot, and EMSA. As a result, our data revealed that the beta-catenin distribution and the levels of nuclear beta-catenin and Tcf-4 proteins were unchanged after naringenin treatment. Moreover, the binding activities of Tcf complexes to consensus DNA were not affected by naringenin. Taken together, these data suggest that naringenin inhibits beta-catenin/Tcf signaling in gastric cancer with unknown mechanisms. 相似文献

beta-catenin/Tcf and NF-kappaB signaling pathways play an important role in biological functions and crosstalk between these pathways has been reported. We found that the modulation of NF-kappaB activity showed a direct correlation with beta-catein/Tcf pathway in human adipose tissue (hASCs) and bone marrow (hBMSCs)-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Expression of lzts2, which inhibits nuclear translocation of beta-catenin and its transactivation activity, was regulated by NF-kappaB activity. Downregulation of lzts2 by RNA interference increased the nuclear translocation of beta-catenin and NF-kappaB activity in hASCs. NF-kappaB activation by the downregulation of lzts2 was accompanied by the increase of beta-TrCP1 expression and the decrease of IkappaB level. Downregulation of lzts2 increased the proliferation of hASCs and hBMSC, and blocked the NF-kappaB inhibitor-induced inhibitory effect on their proliferation and Tcf promoter activation. These findings provide the first evidence that the reciprocal crosstalk between beta-catenin/Tcf pathway and NF-kappaB signaling in hMSCs is mediated through the regulation of lzts2 expression. 相似文献
