Wnt signalling in stem cells and cancer

Reya, Tannishtha, Clevers, Hans·2005·Nature

Abstract

The canonical Wnt cascade has emerged as a critical regulator of stem cells. In many tissues, activation of Wnt signalling has also been associated with cancer. This has raised the possibility that the tightly regulated self-renewal mediated by Wnt signalling in stem and progenitor cells is subverted in cancer cells to allow malignant proliferation. Insights gained from understanding how the Wnt pathway is integrally involved in both stem cell and cancer cell maintenance and growth in the intestinal, epidermal and haematopoietic systems may serve as a paradigm for understanding the dual nature of self-renewal signals.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • These target genes include those required for organizer formation during embryogenesis such as Siamois and Twin and genes involved in oncogenesis such as Myc and CyclinD1 during cancer formation.

  • A large number of binding partners for β-catenin in the nucleus has been uncovered and perhaps the best characterized are the members of the LEF/TCF DNA-binding transcription factors.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
