Wnt/β‐catenin signaling is hyperactivated in systemic sclerosis and induces Smad‐dependent fibrotic responses in mesenchymal cells
10 Feb 2012
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Fibrosis in human diseases and animal models is associated with aberrant Wnt/β-catenin pathway activation. The aim of this study was to characterize the regulation, activity, mechanism of action, and significance of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in the context of systemic sclerosis (SSc). METHODS: The expression of Wnt signaling pathway components in SSc skin biopsy specimens was analyzed. The regulation of...
