We Keywords: have created a versatile Gateway library of clones for all 19 human Wnts. An analysis comparing Wnt signaling epitope-tagged and untagged versions of each ligand shows that despite their similar expression at the b-catenin mRNA level, Wnts exhibit considerable variation in stability, processing and secretion. At least 14 out of Wnt modification and secretion the 19 Wnts activate b-catenin-dependent signaling, an activity that is cell type-dependent and tracks with the stabilization of b-catenin and LRP6 phosphorylation. We find that the core Wnt modification and secretion proteins Porcupine (PORCN) and Wntless (WLS) are essential for all Wnts to signal through b-catenin-dependent and independent pathways.

  • Tumour-Stroma Signalling in Cancer Cell Motility and Metastasis
    Tumour-Stroma Signalling in Cancer Cell Motility and Metastasis by Valbona Luga A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Department of Molecular Genetics, University of Toronto © Copyright by Valbona Luga, 2013 Tumour-Stroma Signalling in Cancer Cell Motility and Metastasis Valbona Luga Doctor of Philosophy Department of Molecular Genetics University of Toronto 2013 Abstract The tumour-associated stroma, consisting of fibroblasts, inflammatory cells, vasculature and extracellular matrix proteins, plays a critical role in tumour growth, but how it regulates cancer cell migration and metastasis is poorly understood. The Wnt-planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway regulates convergent extension movements in vertebrate development. However, it is unclear whether this pathway also functions in cancer cell migration. In addition, the factors that mobilize long-range signalling of Wnt morphogens, which are tightly associated with the plasma membrane, have yet to be completely characterized. Here, I show that fibroblasts secrete membrane microvesicles of endocytic origin, termed exosomes, which promote tumour cell protrusive activity, motility and metastasis via the exosome component Cd81. In addition, I demonstrate that fibroblast exosomes activate autocrine Wnt-PCP signalling in breast cancer cells as detected by the association of Wnt with Fzd receptors and the asymmetric distribution of Fzd-Dvl and Vangl-Pk complexes in exosome-stimulated cancer cell protrusive structures. Moreover, I show that Pk expression in breast cancer cells is essential for fibroblast-stimulated cancer cell metastasis. Lastly, I reveal that trafficking in cancer cells promotes tethering of autocrine Wnt11 to fibroblast exosomes. These studies further our understanding of the role of ii the tumour-associated stroma in cancer metastasis and bring us closer to a more targeted approach for the treatment of cancer spread.

  • Microrna-124-3P Suppresses Mouse Lip Mesenchymal Cell Proliferation

BMC Genomics (2019) 20:852 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-019-6238-4 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access MicroRNA-124-3p suppresses mouse lip mesenchymal cell proliferation through the regulation of genes associated with cleft lip in the mouse Akiko Suzuki1,2, Hiroki Yoshioka1,2, Dima Summakia1, Neha G. Desai1,3, Goo Jun3,4, Peilin Jia5, David S. Loose4,6, Kenichi Ogata1,2, Mona V. Gajera1,3, Zhongming Zhao3,4,5 and Junichi Iwata1,2,4* Abstract Background: Cleft lip (CL), one of the most common congenital birth defects, shows considerable geographic and ethnic variation, with contribution of both genetic and environmental factors. Mouse genetic studies have identified several CL-associated genes. However, it remains elusive how these CL-associated genes are regulated and involved in CL. Environmental factors may regulate these genes at the post-transcriptional level through the regulation of non-coding microRNAs (miRNAs). In this study, we sought to identify miRNAs associated with CL in mice. Results: Through a systematic literature review and a Mouse Genome Informatics (MGI) database search, we identified 55 genes that were associated with CL in mice. Subsequent bioinformatic analysis of these genes predicted that a total of 33 miRNAs target multiple CL-associated genes, with 20 CL-associated genes being potentially regulated by multiple miRNAs. To experimentally validate miRNA function in cell proliferation, we conducted cell proliferation/viability assays for the selected five candidate miRNAs (miR-124-3p, let-7a-5p, let-7b-5p, let-7c-5p, and let-7d-5p). Overexpression of miR-124-3p, but not of the others, inhibited cell proliferation through suppression of CL-associated genes in cultured mouse embryonic lip mesenchymal cells (MELM cells) isolated from the developing mouse lip region.

  • Expanding the Phenotypic Spectrum of PORCN Variants in Two Males with Syndromic Microphthalmia
    European Journal of Human Genetics (2015) 23, 551–554 & 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1018-4813/15 www.nature.com/ejhg SHORT REPORT Expanding the phenotypic spectrum of PORCN variants in two males with syndromic microphthalmia Paul D Brady1, Hilde Van Esch1, Nathalie Fieremans1,GuyFroyen1, Anne Slavotinek2, Jan Deprest3,4, Koenraad Devriendt1 and Joris R Vermeesch*,1 Variants in PORCN are a cause of Goltz-Gorlin syndrome or Focal Dermal Hypoplasia, an X-linked dominant disorder affecting heterozygous females and until now considered to be embryonic lethal in males. Exome sequencing was performed in a family in which two male siblings were characterized by microphthalmia and additional congenital anomalies including diaphragmatic hernia, spina bifida and cardiac defects. Surprisingly, we identified a maternally inherited variant in PORCN present in both males as well as in two female siblings. This represents the first finding of a PORCN variant in non-mosaic males affected with Goltz-Gorlin syndrome. The apparently asymptomatic mother showed extreme skewing of X-inactivation (90%), an asymptomatic female sibling showed skewing of 88%, and the second female sibling affected with cutis aplasia of the scalp showed X-inactivation considered within the normal range.

  • PORCN Gene Porcupine O-Acyltransferase
    PORCN gene porcupine O-acyltransferase Normal Function The PORCN gene provides instructions for making a protein that belongs to a group of related proteins called the porcupine (Porc) family. Although the precise function of the PORCN protein is unknown, proteins in the Porc family are involved in the process of transferring a molecule called palmitoleic acid to Wnt proteins. Wnt proteins participate in chemical signaling pathways in the body and play critical roles in development before birth. Members of the Porc family are located in the endoplasmic reticulum, which is a structure inside the cell that is involved in protein processing and transport. The transfer of palmitoleic acid to Wnt proteins facilitates the release of these proteins from the cell so they can regulate development of the skin, bones, and other structures. Researchers are working to determine the specific role of the PORCN protein within human cells. Health Conditions Related to Genetic Changes Focal dermal hypoplasia At least 29 mutations in the PORCN gene have been found to cause focal dermal hypoplasia. These mutations may alter the protein's structure, lead to the production of an abnormally short version of the protein, or delete the entire PORCN gene. All of these mutations appear to result in the absence of any functional PORCN protein. Researchers believe Wnt proteins cannot be released from the cell without the PORCN protein. When Wnt proteins are unable to leave the cell, they cannot participate in the chemical signaling pathways that are critical for normal
