Abstract excerpt
Dysregulation of Wnt signaling has been implicated in developmental defects and in the pathogenesis of many diseases such as osteoarthritis; however, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we report that non-canonical Wnt signaling induced loss of chondrocyte phenotype through activation of Fz-6/DVL-2/SYND4/CaMKIIα/B-raf/ERK1/2 cascade. We show that in response to Wnt-3a, Frizzled 6 (Fz-6)...
