Mechanism of Ciliary Motion01:05

Mechanism of Ciliary Motion

The ciliary structures were first seen in 1647 by Antonie Leeuwenhoek while observing the protozoans. In lower organisms, these appendages are responsible for cell movement, while in higher organisms, these appendages help in the movement of the extracellular fluids within the body cavities.
The cilia are made up of microtubules in a 9+2 arrangement, with nine microtubule doublet ring bundles, surrounding a pair of central singlet microtubule bundles. The doublet microtubule bundles are...

Non-Canonical Wnt Signaling Pathways01:41

Non-Canonical Wnt Signaling Pathways

Wnt is a zygotic effect gene that is expressed during very early embryonic development. It regulates various processes in animals starting from early development through the adult stage, such as organogenesis in the embryo and maintenance of neuronal and blood stem cells. Wnt proteins can induce a wide variety of intracellular pathways depending upon the specific abilities of different Wnt ligands to form a complex with shared and cognate receptors in the presence of different co-receptors. The...
Canonical Wnt Signaling Pathway02:54

Canonical Wnt Signaling Pathway

The gene encoding the main signaling molecules of the Wnt signaling pathways (the Wnt proteins) was discovered almost four decades ago by Nüsslein-Volhard and Wieschaus. They identified and originally named the gene "wingless" (wg) after a phenotype discovered during their landmark genetic screen in Drosophila for body pattern defects. At around the same time, another researcher named Harold Varmus found that a murine tumor virus activates the mammalian wg homolog, Int-1, which results in tumor...

Catenins01:23

Catenins

Catenins are characterized by multiple binding domains and dynamic structures that allow them to function as linker proteins in cell junction complexes. All catenins, except α-catenin, contain a characteristic protein sequence called the armadillo repeat and are therefore also called armadillo proteins.
Catenins in Cell Junctions
Catenins bind to cell adhesion molecules such as cadherins and link them to different cytoskeletal proteins depending on the type of cell junction. At the adherens...

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Biology
  • Cell Biology
  • Signaling Pathways

Background:

  • Canonical and noncanonical Wnt signaling are essential for embryonic development.
  • These pathways regulate key processes like patterning, gastrulation, and neurulation in zebrafish.
  • Cilia are increasingly recognized for their roles in cellular signaling and development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the intricate relationship between Wnt signaling and cilia in development.
  • To elucidate how Wnt pathways regulate ciliogenesis (cilium formation).
  • To explore the reciprocal regulation where cilia influence Wnt signaling.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing research on Wnt signaling and cilia.
  • Analysis of studies focusing on zebrafish as a model organism.
  • Integration of findings on molecular mechanisms and developmental outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Wnt signaling pathways significantly impact ciliogenesis.
  • Cilia play a role in modulating Wnt signaling pathways.
  • This interplay is critical for normal embryonic development.

Conclusions:

  • The cross-talk between Wnt signaling and cilia is a fundamental aspect of developmental biology.
  • Understanding this interaction provides insights into developmental disorders.
  • Further research into this crosstalk can reveal new therapeutic targets.
