Application

PNU-74654 has been used:
  • as a β-catenin signaling inhibitor to study its effects on the funnel cartilage differentiation in Sepia sp. embryos
  • as a Wnt signaling inhibitor to study its effects on glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β) inhibition in prostate cancer cell lines
  • as a Wnt signaling inhibitor to study its effects on leptin-induced cell proliferation in breast cancer cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

PNU-74654 inhibits the Wnt-β catenin pathway by blocking the interaction between β-catenin and TCF (T cell factor). PNU-74654 is also an anti-tumor agent. Aberrant activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway (canonical pathway) is implicated in driving development/progression of different tumors, such as colon cancer, through interaction between β-catenin and T cell factor (TCF), which regulates the expression of target genes in cell proliferation and differentiation. Inhibition of this pathway activity in cancer cell lines efficiently blocks their growth. PNU-74654 inhibits this pathway by blocking the interaction between β-catenin and TCF.

The evolution of novel cell types led to the emergence of new tissues and organs during the diversification of animals. The origin of the chondrocyte, the cell type that synthesizes cartilage matrix, was central to the evolution of the vertebrate

Supercentenarians (≥110-year-old, SC) are a uniquely informative population not only because they surpass centenarians in age, but because they appear to age more slowly with fewer incidences of chronic age-related disease than centenarians. We reprogramed donor B-lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL)

Transforming growth factor-β-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is one of the main causes of posterior capsular opacification (PCO) or secondary cataract; however, the signaling events involved in TGF-β-induced PCO have not been fully characterized. Here, we focus on examining the role
