Project description:Canonical Wnt/β-catenin signalling is an essential regulator of various cellular functions throughout development and adulthood. Aberrant Wnt/β-catenin signalling also contributes to various pathologies including cancer, necessitating an understanding of cell context dependent mechanisms regulating this pathway. Since protein-protein interactions underpin β-catenin function and localization, we sought to identify novel β-catenin interacting partners by affinity purification coupled with tandem mass spectrometry in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), where β-catenin is involved in both physiological and pathological control of cell proliferation. Here, we report novel components of the VSMC β-catenin interactome.

Project description:The canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway plays multiple roles during Xenopus gastrulation, including posteriorization of the neural plate, patterning of the mesoderm, and induction of the neural crest. Wnt signaling stabilizes β-catenin, which then activates target genes. However, few targets of this signaling pathway that mediate early developmental processes are known. Here we sought to identify transcriptional targets of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway using a genome-wide approach.

Project description:The Wnt pathway is a key regulator of embryonic development, cell growth, differentiation, polarity formation, neural development, carcinogenesis, and stem cell self-renewal, and deregulation of the Wnt signalling is associated with many human disease. The central player in the Wnt pathway is β-catenin, A recent study has shown that β-catenin/Tcf/Lef signaling pathway is an essential growth-regulatory pathway in cardiomyocytes. We used DNA microarrays to detail the global trends in gene expression underlying β-catenin-overexpressed cardiomyocytes and identified distinct classes of up- or down-regulated genes during this process. Our findings suggest that β-catenin plays a critical role in regulating cardiac dysfunction at transcriptional level and may provide novel insight into how β-catenin modulates heart diseases. Cardiomyocytes were infected with GFP control or β-catenin adenoviruses for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to define the effects of β-catenin on the global programme of gene expression in primary cardiomyocytes. To that end, neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were infected with GFP control (G) or β-catenin adenovirus (B) for 24 hours.

Project description:The Wnt signaling pathway is deregulated in over 90% of human colorectal cancers. β Catenin, the central signal transducer of the Wnt pathway, can directly modulate gene expression by interacting with transcription factors of the TCF/LEF-family. In the present study we investigate the role of Wnt signaling in the homeostasis of intestinal epithelium using tissue-specific, inducible beta-catenin gene ablation in adult mice. Block of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling resulted in rapid loss of transient-amplifying cells and crypt structures. Importantly, intestinal stem cells were induced to terminally differentiate upon deletion of beta-catenin resulting in a complete block of intestinal homeostasis and fatal loss of intestinal function. Transcriptional profiling of mutant crypt mRNA isolated by laser capture micro dissection confirmed those observations and allowed to identify genes potentially responsible for the functional preservation of intestinal stem cells. Experiment Overall Design: laser capture microdissection of intestinal crypts, control vs. beta-catenin mutant (2days after induction of deletion by tamoxifen), two rounds of amplification of mRNA

Project description:Medulloblastoma is the most frequent malignant pediatric brain tumor. Considerable efforts are dedicated to identify markers that help to refine treatment strategies. The activation of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway occurs in 10-15% of medulloblastomas and has been recently described as a marker for favorable patient outcome. We report a series of 72 pediatric medulloblastomas evaluated for beta-catenin immunostaining, CTNNB1 mutations, and studied by comparative genomic hybridization. Gene expression profiles were also available in a subset of 40 cases. Immunostaining of beta-catenin showed extensive nuclear staining (>50% of the tumor cells) in 6 cases and focal nuclear staining (<10% of cells) in 3 cases. The other cases exhibited either a signal strictly limited to the cytoplasm (58 cases) or were negative (5 cases). CTNNB1 mutations were detected in all beta-catenin extensively nucleopositive cases. The expression profiles of these cases documented a strong activation of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway. Remarkably, 5 out of these 6 tumors showed a complete loss of chromosome 6. In contrast, cases with focal nuclear beta-catenin staining, as well as tumors with negative or cytoplasmic staining, never demonstrated CTNNB1 mutation, Wnt/beta-catenin pathway activation or chromosome 6 loss. Patients with extensive nuclear staining were significantly older at diagnosis and were in continuous complete remission after a mean follow-up of 75.7 months (range 27.5-121.2) from diagnosis. All three patients with a focal nuclear staining of beta-catenin died within 36 months from diagnosis. Altogether, these data confirm and extend previous observations that CTNNB1-mutated tumors represent a distinct molecular subgroup of medulloblastomas with favorable outcome, indicating that therapy de-escalation should be considered. Yet, international consensus on the definition criteria of this distinct medulloblastoma subgroup should be achieved. A series of 72 pediatric medulloblastoma tumors has been studied at the genomic level (array-CGH), screened for CTNNB1 mutations and beta-catenin expression (immunohistochemistry). A subset of 40 tumor samples has been analyzed at the RNA expression level (Affymetrix HG U133 Plus 2.0). Correlations between the genomic data, the expression data, the mutational screening, the pathological classification and clinical data is presented in the study. note: aCGH data not submitted to GEO

Project description:Beta-catenin is an essential mediator of canonical Wnt signaling and a central component of the cadherin-catenin epithelial adhesion complex. Dysregulation of beta-catenin expression has been described in pancreatic neoplasia. Newly published studies have suggested that beta-catenin is critical for normal pancreatic development although these reports reached somewhat different conclusions. In addition, the molecular mechanisms by which loss of beta-catenin affects pancreas development are not well understood. The goals of this study then were; 1] to further investigate the role of beta-catenin in pancreatic development using a conditional knockout approach and 2] to identify possible mechanisms by which loss of beta-catenin disrupts pancreatic development. A Pdx1-cre mouse line was used to delete a floxed beta-catenin allele specifically in the developing pancreas, and embryonic pancreata were studied by immunohistochemistry and microarray analysis. Experiment Overall Design: Parameter: embryonic pancreas from wild type and Pdx1Cre/+; beta-cateninflox/flox Experiment Overall Design: Sample type: RNA Experiment Overall Design: Source name: Embryonic day 14.6 and 16.5 pancreas Experiment Overall Design: Organism: Mus Musculus Experiment Overall Design: Strain: Derived from an intercross of Pdx1Cre/+ ; beta-cateninflox/+ mice.

Project description:Abberant expression and protein localization of ESM1 were found in prostate cancer. The high expression of ESM1 is associated with prostate cancer stemness and progression. Thus, ESM1 is clinically relevant to poor overall survival and metastasis. However, the molecular mechanisms by which ESM1 contribute to prostate cancer is not yet understood. To discover the role of ESM1 mislocalization in prostate cancer, RNA-seq analysis was performed on 22Rv1 cells overexpressing with different ESM1. Our study demonstrate that nuclear ESM1 may support prostate cancer stemness by interacting with the ARM domain of β-catenin to stabilize β-catenin-Tcf4 complex and facilitate the transactivation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling targets. Our results establish the significance of ESM1 in driving metastasis in prostate cancer by coordinating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, with implication for its potential use as a diagnostic or prognostic biomarker and as a candidate therapeutic target in prostate cancer.

Project description:Regeneration of the adult skeletal muscle tissue relies on a population of muscle stem cells called satellite cells. During tissue repair, satellite cells exhibit active canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling. To identify genes that become transcribed following activation of the Wnt/β-Catenin pathway in satellite cells, we performed microarray analysis of primary myoblasts expressing an active form of beta-catenin
