Application

IWP-2 has been used to treat the cell lines L-Wnt-3a and L-Wnt-5a, to demonstrate the inhibitory effect of IWP-2. It has also been used as a Wnt signaling inhibitor to treat WT and Gja1Jrt/+ stromal cells to confirm that, theWnt/β-catenin signaling pathway pathway was not involved in the increased marker expression by Gja1Jrt/+ osteoblasts.

Biochem/physiol Actions

IWP-2 is an inactivator of Porcn function; inhibitor of Wnt production. Wnt/b-catenin (‘canonical′) pathway maintains transcriptional programs that enable stem cells to remain multipotent. Hyperactivation of the Wnt/b-catenin pathway leads to disease stage. IWP-2 inhibits Wnt production. It appears that IWP inactivates Porcn function either by directly inhibiting the Porcn active site or by modulating the function of a Porcn regulator. Porcn is a member of the membrane-bound O-acyltransferase (MBOAT) family, which adds a palmitoyl group to Wnt proteins that is essential to their signaling ability and is required for Wnt secretion. IWP-2 is useful in both regenerative medicine and anticancer efforts.

The mechanisms by which dopaminergic neurotransmission in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) is involved in incentive learning produced by rewarding stimuli remain unclear. Recently, Wnt signalling has been implicated in synaptic plasticity and learning and memory. Functional interactions between Wnt and

Wnt signaling is hyper-activated in most of human cancers including colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Therefore, the introduction of new regulators for Wnt pathway possesses promising diagnostic and therapeutic applications in cancer medicine. Bioinformatics analysis introduced hsa-miR-103a, hsa-miR-1827, and hsa-miR-137 as potential
