Wnt1 and Wnt2b immunodetection of the regenerating tail and comparative ultrastructure of tail spinal cord in the Scincella tsinlingensis

Int. j. morphol; 40 (5), 2022
SUMMARY: The Wnt pathway is essential for the initiation of lizard tail regeneration. The regenerated lizard tails exhibit obvious morphological differences compared to the original ones. The expression of Wnt1 and Wnt2b proteins in the regenerating tail of Scincella tsinlingensis was detected by immunoh...

Expresión génica de mediadores moleculares para potencial terapia celular en el síndrome gastrointestinal inducido por radiación

Rev. ANACEM (Impresa); 16 (1), 2022
Antecedentes: Las células madres intestinales generan las distintas estirpes celulares a dicho nivel. Estas se regulan por interacciones entre el epitelio y las células del nicho celular anexo. Estas se pueden ver dañadas en tratamientos con radiación, generando el síndrome gastrointestinal inducido...

Expression of Wnt and beta-catenin in mouse tooth germs and chick facial primordia: a comparison

Int. j. morphol; 36 (2), 2018
In order to compare Wnt/ beta-catenin expression in mouse and chick facial primordia during development, we performed an immunohistochemical analysis of both protein expressions in E12 to E17 mouse embryos and in E3 and E10 chick embryos. During odontogenesis, from bud to bell stage, both proteins exhibi...

A SERM increasing the expression of the osteoblastogenesis and mineralization-related proteins and improving quality of bone tissue in an experimental model of osteoporosis

J. appl. oral sci; 26 (), 2018
Abstract Raloxifene is an antiresorptive drug, selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) used in the treatment of osteoporosis. Objective To evaluate proteins related to bone repair at the peri-implant bone in a rat model of osteoporosis treated with raloxifene. Material and Methods 72 rats were div...

Expression of e-cadherin and wnt pathway proteins betacatenin, apc, tcf-4 and survivin in gastric adenocarcinoma: clinical and pathological implication

ABCD (São Paulo, Impr.); 29 (4), 2016
ABSTRACT Background: Gastric cancer is the fifth most frequent cancer and the third most common cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide.It has been reported that Wnt/ betacatenin pathway is activated in 30-50% of these tumors. However,the deregulation of this pathway has not been fully elucidated. Ai...

Identification and expression analysis of two Wnt4 genes in the spotted scat (Scatophagus argus)

Electron. j. biotechnol; 19 (2), 2016
Background: WNT4 is a protein that plays a crucial role in ovarian differentiation and development in mammals, with a relatively well understood function in mammalian gonadal differentiation. The role of WNT4 in teleost fish; however, remains unclear. In the present study, cDNAs of Wnt4a and Wnt4b were c...

Wnt-5a-regulated miR-101b controls COX2 expression in hippocampal neurons

Biol. Res; 49 (), 2016
BACKGROUND: Wnt-5a is a member of the WNT family of secreted lipoglycoproteins, whose expression increases during development; moreover, Wnt-5a plays a key role in synaptic structure and function in the adult nervous system. However, the mechanism underlying these effects is still elusive. MicroRNAs (miR...

Immunohistochemical study of the canonical and non-canonical Wnt signaling pathway in colorectal carcinoma and non-neoplastic mucosa

Colorectal cancer is linked to several signaling pathways such as Wnt pathway. Our objective is to detect and verify the integrity of protein members of Wnt signaling pathway in colorectal carcinoma and non-neoplastic colorectal tissue. Sixty-four patients with colorectal carcinoma provided samples of co...

Estudo da Expressão imuno-histoquímica da Wnt-5a em displasias epiteliais bucais

Alterações na expressão das proteínas Wnt no carcinoma espinocelular bucal, permitiram a construção de hipóteses sobre o papel da Wnt-5a em desordens potencialmente malignas. Objetivo: Avaliar a expressão imuno-histoquímica da proteína Wnt-5a em displasias epiteliais bucais. Metodologia: Foram ...

APC protein immunoexpression in colorectal adenoma and adenocarcinoma

BACKGROUND: activation of the Wnt pathway by mutated APC gene is considered the initial event in colorectal carcinogenesis. The identification of these mutations can improve the specific treatment of the adenocarcinoma. OBJECTIVE: detect and evaluate wild-type APC protein in tissue from colorectal adenom...
