WNT Signaling in Lung Disease: A Failure or a Regeneration Signal?

Königshoff, Melanie, Eickelberg, Oliver·2010·American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology

Abstract

The WNT family of signaling proteins is essential to organ development in general and lung morphogenesis in particular. Originally identified as a developmentally active signaling pathway, the WNT pathway has recently been linked to the pathogenesis of important lung diseases, in particular lung cancer and pulmonary fibrosis. This review summarizes our current understanding about WNT signaling in lung development and disease, and is structured into three chapters. The first chapter presents an introduction to WNT signaling, outlining WNT proteins, their receptors and signaling intermediates, as well as the regulation of this complex pathway. The second chapter focuses on the role of WNT signaling in the normal embryonic and adult lung, and highlights recent findings of altered WNT signaling in lung diseases, such as lung cancer, pulmonary fibrosis, or pulmonary arterial hypertension. In the last chapter, we will discuss novel data and ideas about the biological effects of WNT signaling on the cellular level, highlighting pleiotropic effects induced by WNT ligands on distinct cell types, and how these cellular effects may be relevant to the pathogenesis of the aforementioned diseases.

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.
