Project description:Wnt/M-NM-2-catenin signaling is involved in various aspects of skeletal muscle development and regeneration. In addition, Wnt3a and M-NM-2-catenin are required for muscle-specific gene transcription in embryonic carcinoma cells and satellite-cell proliferation during adult skeletal muscle regeneration. Downstream targets of canonical Wnt signaling are cyclin D1 and c-myc. However, both target genes are suppressed during differentiation of mouse myoblast cells, C2C12. Underlying molecular mechanisms of M-NM-2-catenin signaling during myogenic differentiation remain unknown. Using C2C12 cells, we examined intracellular signaling and gene transcription during myoblast proliferation and differentiation. We confirmed that several Wnt signaling components, including Wnt9a, Sfrp2 and porcupine, were consistently upregulated in differentiating C2C12 cells. Troponin T-positive myotubes were decreased by Wnt3a overexpression, but not Wnt4. TOP/FOP reporter assays revealed that co-expression with Wnt4 reduced Wnt3a-induced luciferase activity, suggesting that Wnt4 signaling counteracted Wnt3a signaling in myoblasts. FH535, a small-molecule inhibitor of M-NM-2-catenin/Tcf complex formation, reduced basal M-NM-2-catenin in cytoplasm and decreased myoblast proliferation. K252a, a protein kinase inhibitor, increased membrane-bound M-NM-2-catenin and enhanced myoblast fusion. Treatments with K252a or Wnt4 resulted in increased cytoplasmic vesicles containing phosphorylated M-NM-2-catenin (Tyr654) during myogenic differentiation. These results suggest that various Wnt ligands control subcellular M-NM-2-catenin localization, which regulate myoblast proliferation and myotube formation. Wnt signaling via M-NM-2-catenin likely acts as a molecular switch that regulates the transition from cell proliferation to myogenic differentiation. Control cells (day 0) prior to differentiation induction with n=4; differentiated for two days with n=3; differentiated for four days with n=3.

Project description:Wnt/β-catenin signaling is involved in various aspects of skeletal muscle development and regeneration. In addition, Wnt3a and β-catenin are required for muscle-specific gene transcription in embryonic carcinoma cells and satellite-cell proliferation during adult skeletal muscle regeneration. Downstream targets of canonical Wnt signaling are cyclin D1 and c-myc. However, both target genes are suppressed during differentiation of mouse myoblast cells, C2C12. Underlying molecular mechanisms of β-catenin signaling during myogenic differentiation remain unknown.

Project description:Wnt signaling is upregulated frequently in several cancers, including sarcomas. Since, there is cell-context dependent variation in the target gene expression, to identify canonical Wnt targets in sarcomas, we used human mesenchymal stem cells. Human mesenchymal stem cells were treated with 100ng/ml recombinant Wnt3a either 6 hrs or 24 hrs. Total RNA was extracted from untreated and Wnt3a treated samples using Qiagen's RNA extraction kit.

Project description:We analyzed the transcriptome of two different triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell lines to define a comprehensive list of Wnt target genes. Cells were treated with Wnt3a for 6h, 12h or 24h. We found up-regulated and down-regulated genes in response to Wnt3a treatment. They are involved in the Wnt pathway itself, and also in TGFM-CM-^_, p53 and Hedgehog pathways. Thorough characterization of these novel potential Wnt target genes may reveal new regulators of the canonical Wnt pathway. The comparison of our list of Wnt target genes with those published in other cellular contexts confirms the notion that Wnt target genes are tissue-, cell line- and treatment-specific. Cells were seeded in six-well plates, serum starved overnight then treated with Wnt3a for the indicated times (6, 12 and 24 hours). Triplicates for each condition were included in the experiment.

Project description:Regeneration of the adult skeletal muscle tissue relies on a population of muscle stem cells called satellite cells. During tisse repair, satellite cells exhibit active canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling. Rspo1 is a modulator of Wnt signaling in many tissue, and is expressed by muscle progenitor cells. 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

Cells were treated with Wnt3a for 6h, 12h or 24h. We found up-regulated and down-regulated genes in response to Wnt3a treatment. They are involved in the Wnt pathway itself, and also in TGFß, p53 and Hedgehog pathways.

Project description:To test the potential of canonical Wnt signalling to modulate nociception via transcriptional regulation in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, we performed a genome-wide transcriptome analysis of neuron-enriched DRG cultures treated with Wnt3a or vehicle for 6 hours. Total RNA obtained from neuron-enriched mouse DRG culture subjected to Wnt3a treatment for 6 hours was compared to a matched control (vehicle-treated) DRG culture.
