Mutation analysis of DKK1 and in vivo evidence of predominant p53-independent DKK1 function in gliomas.

Abstract excerpt

DKK1 protein belongs to a family of inhibitors of the Wnt/beta1-catenin signaling pathway. Sporadic mutations affecting almost each major player of the Wnt/beta1-catenin pathway have been described in a variety of human carcinomas. DKK1 translation can be induced by p53, thereby linking TP53 and Wnt/beta1-catenin signaling pathways. These findings raise questions in regard to human gliomas, which similar to...
