Wingless (Wnt)-3A Induces Trophoblast Migration and Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 Secretion through Canonical Wnt Signaling and Protein Kinase B/AKT Activation
4 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
Invasion of human trophoblasts is promoted through activation of wingless (Wnt) signaling, suggesting a role of the pathway in placental development and morphogenesis. However, details on the process such as involvement of canonical and/or noncanonical Wnt signaling cascades as well as their target genes are largely unknown. Hence, signal transduction via canonical Wnt signaling or phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase...
