The Wnt/β-catenin pathway regulates Gli-mediated Myf5 expression during somitogenesis
Open accessAbstract
Canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling regulates the activation of the myogenic determination gene Myf5 at the onset of myogenesis, but the underlying molecular mechanism is unknown. Here, we report that the Wnt signal is transduced in muscle progenitor cells by at least two Frizzled (Fz)receptors (Fz1 and/or Fz6), through the canonical β-catenin pathway, in the epaxial domain of newly formed somites. We show that Myf5activation is dramatically reduced by blocking the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in somite progenitor cells, whereas expression of activated β-catenin is sufficient to activate Myf5 in somites but not in the presomitic mesoderm. In addition, we identified Tcf/Lef sequences immediately 5′ to the Myf5 early epaxial enhancer. These sites determine the correct spatiotemporal expression of Myf5 in the epaxial domain of the somite, mediating the synergistic action of the Wnt/β-catenin and the Shh/Gli pathways. Taken together, these results demonstrate that Myf5is a direct target of Wnt/β-catenin, and that its full activation requires a cooperative interaction between the canonical Wnt and the Shh/Gli pathways in muscle progenitor cells.

“The role of the Wnt pathway in cell fate determination was demonstrated for neural crest cells (Brault et al., 2001; Dorsky et al., 2002) and for hematopoietic cells, for which a role in proliferation and stem cell self-renewal was also reported (Austin et al., 1997; Brandon et al., 2000; Reya et…”

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.
