The Wnt signaling pathway is a crucial regulator of the intestinal epithelium homeostasis and altered in most colon cancers. While role aberrant canonical, β-catenin-dependent has been well established cancer promotion, much less known about played by noncanonical, β-catenin-independent this type cancer. This work aimed to characterize noncanonical signal transduction cells. To end, we used prototype ligand, Wnt5a, comparison with Wnt3a, canonical β-catenin activating ligand. analysis expression profile receptors cell lines showed clear increase both level variety Frizzled receptor types expressed cells compared non-malignant We found that Wnt5a activates typical Wnt/Ca++ - malignant cells, inducing hyperphosphorylation Dvl1, Dvl2 Dvl3, promoting Ca++ mobilization as result phospholipase C (PLC) activation via pertussis toxin-sensitive G-protein, PLC-dependent migration. also while co-receptor Ror2 tyrosine kinase activity not required for mobilization-induced it inhibitory effects on transcriptional activity. Unexpectedly, although Wnt3a ligand was unique stimulating activity, simultaneously activated PLC, promoted mobilization, induced Rho Our data indicate, therefore, can activate at same time so-called pathways formation complex networks integrate

Abstract The Wnt/β-catenin pathway comprises a family of proteins that play critical roles in embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis. deregulation signalling often leads to various serious diseases, including cancer non-cancer diseases. Although many articles have reviewed from aspects, systematic review encompassing the origin, composition, function, clinical trials tumour diseases is lacking. In this article, we comprehensively above five aspects combination with latest research. Finally, propose challenges opportunities for small-molecular compounds targeting Wnt disease treatment.

The vertebrate vasculature displays high organotypic specialization, with the structure and function of blood vessels catering to specific needs each tissue. A unique feature central nervous system (CNS) is blood-brain barrier (BBB). BBB regulates substance influx efflux maintain a homeostatic environment for proper brain function. Here, we review development cell biology BBB, focusing on cellular molecular regulation formation maintenance through adulthood. We summarize features CNS endothelial cells highlight recent progress in general principles regulation. Finally, illustrate why mechanistic understanding could provide novel therapeutic opportunities drug delivery.

The Wnt pathway is central to a host of developmental and disease-related processes. remarkable conservation this intercellular signaling cascade throughout metazoan lineages indicates that it coevolved with multicellularity regulate the generation spatial arrangement distinct cell types. By regulating fate specification, mitotic activity, polarity, orchestrates development tissue homeostasis, its dysregulation implicated in defects, cancer, degenerative disorders. We review advances our understanding key pathway, from protein production secretion relay signal cytoplasm receiving cell. discuss evolutionary history as well endogenous synthetic modulators activity. Finally, we highlight remaining gaps knowledge transduction avenues for future research.

It has been noticed in recent years that the unfavorable effects of gut microbiota could exhaust host vigor and life, yet knowledge theory are just beginning to be established. Increasing documentation suggests microbiota–gut–brain axis not only impacts brain cognition psychiatric symptoms but also precipitates neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s (PD), multiple sclerosis (MS). How blood–brain barrier (BBB), a machinery protecting central nervous system (CNS) from systemic circulation, allows risky factors derived translocated into seems paradoxical. For unique anatomical, histological, immunological properties underpinning its permeable dynamics, BBB regarded biomarker associated with neural pathogenesis. The permeability mice rats caused by GM dysbiosis raises question how metabolites change causes pathophysiology neuroinflammation neurodegeneration (NF&ND) aging, pivotal multidisciplinary field tightly immune chronic inflammation. If all, microbiota-induced inflammation (GM-SCI) mainly refers excessive mucosal immunity dysregulation, which is often influenced dietary components age, produced at interface intestinal (IB) or exacerbated after IB disruption, initiates various common diseases along dispersal routes, eventually impairs integrity cause NF&ND aging. To illustrate roles affected inflammatory “leaky” resulting their metabolites, we reviewed selected publications, including role barrier, influences on permeability, NF&ND, add depth bridging inflammation, plausible mechanism indispensable for corruption was highlighted; namely, maintenance cues cytokines, may help understand play major

During the last three decades, a series of key technological improvements turned atomic force microscopy (AFM) into nanoscopic laboratory to directly observe and chemically characterize molecular cell biological systems under physiological conditions. Here, we review that have established AFM as an analytical tool quantify native from micro- nanoscale. Native include living tissues, cells, cellular components such single or complexed proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, sugars. We showcase procedures customize chemical laboratories by functionalizing tips outline advantages limitations in applying different modes image, sense, manipulate biosystems at (sub)nanometer spatial millisecond temporal resolution. further discuss theoretical approaches extract kinetic thermodynamic parameters specific biomolecular interactions detected for bonds extend discussion multiple bonds. Finally, highlight potential combining with optical spectroscopy address full complexity tackle fundamental challenges life sciences.

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) protects the central nervous system (CNS) from harmful blood-borne factors. Although BBB dysfunction is a hallmark of several neurological disorders, therapies to restore function are lacking. An attractive strategy repurpose developmental regulators, such as Wnt7a, into BBB-protective agents. However, safe therapeutic use Wnt ligands complicated by their pleiotropic Frizzled signaling activities. Taking advantage Wnt7a/b-specific Gpr124/Reck co-receptor complex, we genetically engineered Wnt7a BBB-specific activators. In “hit-and-run” adeno-associated virus–assisted CNS gene delivery setting, these new Gpr124/Reck-specific agonists protected function, thereby mitigating glioblastoma expansion and ischemic stroke infarction. This work reveals that specificity adjustable defines modality treat disorders normalizing BBB.
