This SNP is found in secreted Frizzled-related protein 3 (sFRP3) and reduces the ability of sFRP3 to antagonize Wnt signalling Wnt signalling might be elevated in osteoarthritis Chromosomal duplication of Wnt4 and an intersex phenotype Wnt4 overexpression disrupts normal testicular vasculature inhibits testosterone synthesis by repressing steroidogenic factor 1 / β-catenin synergy. Wnt4 acts as an anti-male factor by interfering with β-catenin functions. Wnt4 and renal development and disease WNnt4 is a key role in renal tubule formation. A rat model of acute renal failure Wnt4 overexpression After renal injury CNP (C-type natriuretic peptide) gene expression is activated and correlates with Wnt4 expression. WNT/β-catenin signalling is involved in polycystic kidney disease (PKD) PKD1 gene mutation Wnt4 overexpression has been reported in polycystic kidneys in mice. Wnt5a - a tumor suppressor gene and a modulator of metastasis Loss of Wnt5a in mammary epithelial cells phenotypic transformation↑ blocked by overexpression of Wnt5a Wnt5a signals through Wnt/calcium pathway suppress cyclin D1 expression negatively regulate B cell proliferation. Wnt5a, through its activation of PKC a highly motile and invasive phenotype. Wnt1 and the neurodevelopmental hypothesis of schizophrenia Wnt1 overexpression → altered cell adhesion, synaptic rearrangement and plasticity in the brains of people with schizophrenia. SNPs in FZ3 are associated with susceptibility to schizophrenia. Dsh1/Dvl1 -/- mice produces behavioural defects, further linking the Wnt pathway to the modulation of brain activity. Altered function of Frizzled and LRP5/6 • Loss-of-function mutations in FZ4 and LRP5 are linked to familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) – a truncated protein that acts in a dominant– negative manner oligomerize with wild-type FZ receptors trap them in the endoplasmic reticulum • Whether FZ4 signalling is reduced in FEVR patients? Altered function of Frizzled and LRP5/6 • Activating mutations in LRP5 are linked to high bone mass – an 18-year-old female Nebraska highschool student – An amino-acid change in the extracellular domain of LRP5 linked to this high bone mass phenotype weak activation of the β-catenin pathway – treatments for osteoporosis? • Loss-of-function mutations in LRP5 are linked to low bone mass and eye defects Altered function of cytoplasmic components Activation of b-catenin signalling and cancer. • mutations in the tumour suppressor APC • gain-of-function mutations in the N-terminal phsphorylation sites • loss-of-function mutations in AXIN • non-small-cell lung cancer: DSH/DVL genes overexpressed siRNA reduced expression AXIN2, familial tooth agenesis and colon cancer. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 74:1043–1050, 2004 Altered function of cytoplasmic components Mutations linked to tuberous sclerosis activate b-catenin. • Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) genes Tsc1 or Tsc2 • Proteins encoded from TSC genes from complexes and reduce the level of b-catenin • TSC complex co-immunoprecipitates with AXIN and GSK3 Activated b-catenin signalling in skin.
