The canonical Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway plays a critical role in numerous physiological and pathological processes. LRP6 is an essential co‐receptor for Wnt/β‐catenin signaling; as transduction of the Wnt signal is strongly dependent upon GSK3β‐mediated phosphorylation of multiple PPP(S/T)P motifs within the membrane‐anchored LRP6 intracellular domain. Previously, we showed that the free LRP6 intracellular domain (LRP6‐ICD) can activate the Wnt/β‐catenin pathway in a β‐catenin and TCF/LEF‐1 dependent manner, as well as interact with and attenuate GSK3β activity. However, it is unknown if the ability of LRP6‐ICD to attenuate GSK3β activity and modulate activation of the Wnt/β‐catenin pathway requires phosphorylation of the LRP6‐ICD PPP(S/T)P motifs, in a manner similar to the membrane‐anchored LRP6 intracellular domain. Here we provide evidence that the LRP6‐ICD does not have to be phosphorylated at its PPP(S/T)P motif by GSK3β to stabilize endogenous cytosolic β‐catenin resulting in activation of TCF/LEF‐1 and the Wnt/β‐catenin pathway. LRP6‐ICD and a mutant in which all 5 PPP(S/T)P motifs were changed to PPP(A)P motifs equivalently interacted with and attenuated GSK3β activity in vitro, and both constructs inhibited the in situ GSK3β‐mediated phosphorylation of β‐catenin and tau to the same extent. These data indicate that the LRP6‐ICD attenuates GSK3β activity similar to other GSK3β binding proteins, and is not a result of it being a GSK3β substrate. Our findings suggest the functional and regulatory mechanisms governing the free LRP6‐ICD may be distinct from membrane‐anchored LRP6, and that release of the LRP6‐ICD may provide a complimentary signaling cascade capable of modulating Wnt‐dependent gene expression.

肝细胞癌(hepatocellular carcinoma,HCC)是全球第五大癌症并成为癌症死亡的主要原因,传统治疗早期肝癌取得了一定的进展,但是癌症的复发、转移和耐药仍未得到根本解决,这些现象可通过癌症干细胞理论(cancer stem cell,CSC)进行解释.本研究通过悬浮富集培养的方法,获得了MHCC-97H细胞的三维立体球细胞(sphere cell),并检测其干细胞特性,通过删除5型腺病毒的E1A CR2区域24 bp碱基,并用Wnt活性转录元件TCF/TEF调控E1A基因表达,同时插入抗癌基因TSLC1,得到了双靶向溶瘤腺病毒Ad.wnt-E1A(△24 bp)-TSLC1,通过MTT、结晶紫染色实验、Hoechst、细胞划痕、蛋白质印迹技术、Transwell及免疫荧光技术检测重组病毒对肝癌类干细胞的EMT(epithelial-mesenchymal transition)转化、杀伤、凋亡以及迁移的作用.结果表明,悬浮富集培养的MHCC-97H sphere细胞具有自我更新、分化能力、静息性以及耐药性,高表达肝癌干细胞表面标志物(如CD133等),重组病毒处理后表现出明显的杀伤效果及抑制细胞迁移与侵袭的特性,靶向抑制MHCC-97H sphere细胞能力更强(P0.001),且重组病毒能有效诱导肝癌类干细胞通过caspase途径发生凋亡.因此,重组病毒Ad.wnt-E1A(△24 bp)-TSLC1有可能成为靶向肝癌干细胞的治疗药物,具有一定的临床应用前景. 相似文献

Lens formation in mouse is critically dependent on proper development of the retinal neuroectoderm that is located close beneath the head surface ectoderm. Signaling from the prospective retina triggers lens‐specific gene expression in the surface‐ectoderm. Supression of canonical Wnt/β‐catenin signaling in the surface ectoderm is one of the prerequisites for lens development because, as we show here, ectopic Wnt activation in the retina and lens abrogates lens formation. Wnt inhibiton is mediated by signals coming from the retina but its exact mechanism is unknown. We show that Pax6 directly controls expression of several Wnt inhibitors such as Sfrp1, Sfrp2, and Dkk1 in the presumptive lens. In accordance, absence of Pax6 function leads to aberrant canonical Wnt activity in the presumptive lens that subsequently impairs lens development. Thus Pax6 is required for down‐regulation of canonical Wnt signaling in the presumptive lens ectoderm. genesis 48:86–95, 2010. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Vascular calcification (VC) is a pathological process underpinning major cardiovascular conditions and has attracted public attention due to its high morbidity and mortality. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common disease related to VC. Ginsenoside Rb1 (Rb1) has been reported to protect the cardiovascular system against vascular diseases, yet its role in VC and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we established a CKD‐associated VC rat model and a β‐glycerophosphate (β‐GP)‐induced vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) calcification model to investigate the effects of Rb1 on VC. Our results demonstrated that Rb1 ameliorated calcium deposition and VSMC osteogenic transdifferentiation both in vivo and in vitro. Rb1 treatment inhibited the Wnt/β‐catenin pathway by activating peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor‐γ (PPAR‐γ), and confocal microscopy was used to show that Rb1 inhibited β‐catenin nuclear translocation in VSMCs. Furthermore, SKL2001, an agonist of the Wnt/β‐catenin pathway, compromised the vascular protective effect of Rb1. GW9662, a PPAR‐γ antagonist, reversed Rb1's inhibitory effect on β‐catenin. These results indicate that Rb1 exerted anticalcific properties through PPAR‐γ/Wnt/β‐catenin axis, which provides new insights into the potential theraputics of VC. 相似文献
