Abstract

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an aging-related neurological disorder characterized by synaptic loss and dementia. Wnt/β-catenin signaling is an essential signal transduction pathway that regulates numerous cellular processes including cell survival. In brain, Wnt/β-catenin signaling is not only crucial for neuronal survival and neurogenesis, but it plays important roles in regulating synaptic plasticity and blood-brain barrier integrity and function. Moreover, activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling inhibits amyloid-β production and tau protein hyperphosphorylation in the brain. Critically, Wnt/β-catenin signaling is greatly suppressed in AD brain via multiple pathogenic mechanisms. As such, restoring Wnt/β-catenin signaling represents a unique opportunity for the rational design of novel AD therapies.

Figures

Fig. 1 The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. a When Wnt proteins bind to LRP5/6 and FZD, the phosphorylation and degradation of β-catenin is blocked, resulting in stabilization, accumulation and nuclear translocation of β-catenin and subsequent activation of the pathway. b When Wnt binding to receptors is blocked by Wnt antagonist Dkk1, SOST and sFRP, β-catenin is phosphorylated by Ck1 and GSK3β, and subsequently degraded by the 26S proteasome. Wnt receptor Fzd and Wnt co-receptor LRP5/6 are positively regulated by Rspo proteins and their receptors LGR4, LGR5 and LGR6, and negatively regulated by E3 ubiquitin ligases RNF43 and ZNRF3 at the cell surface

Fig. 2 Restoring Wnt/β-catenin signaling is a promising therapeutic strategy for AD. Wnt/β-catenin signaling is able to regulate multiple different pathways in Alzheimer disease (AD) pathogenesis. Restoring Wnt/β-catenin signaling in the brain of the AD patients will enhance synaptic plasticity, neuronal survival, neurogenesis and BBB integrity and function and suppress Aβ production and tau phosphorylation. The role of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in neuroinflammation remains to be elucidated

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.
