Abstract excerpt
The expression of β-catenin-dependent genes can be increased through the Cre recombinase (Cre)-mediated elimination of the exon 3-encoded sequence. This mutant β-catenin is termed DE3, and promotes the expression of β-catenin-dependent genes. Our previous study used the DE3 model to demonstrate that persistent β-catenin activity inhibited bronchiolar Clara-to-ciliated cell differentiation. The present study was...
