Non-Canonical Wnt Signaling Pathways01:41

Non-Canonical Wnt Signaling Pathways

8.5K
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 Pathway

10.7K
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...

Pulmonary Hypertension: Classification and Pathogenesis

664
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a severe health condition in which the mean pulmonary arterial pressure increases to 25 mmHg or more, even when the body is at rest. This high pressure in the blood vessels that transport blood from the heart to the lungs can cause various symptoms, including shortness of breath, can lead to right heart failure, and significantly affect the overall quality of life.
There are various classifications for PH, each relating to different underlying causes and also...

Notch Signaling Pathway03:14

Notch Signaling Pathway

6.6K
The Notch signaling pathway is a major intracellular signaling pathway that is highly conserved over a broad spectrum of metazoan species. It stands unique from other intracellular signaling mechanisms in animals because notch protein itself acts as the receptor as well as the primary signaling molecule.
The Notch gene came into the limelight in 1914 after the discovery that its mutation in Drosophila melanogaster leads to a serrated (or "notched") wing margin phenotype. It was not...

Hedgehog Signaling Pathway02:33

Hedgehog Signaling Pathway

10.1K
The Hedgehog gene (Hh) was first discovered due to its control of the growth of disorganized, hair-like bristles phenotype in Drosophila, much like hedgehog spines. Hh plays a crucial role in the development of organs and the maintenance of homeostasis in both invertebrates and vertebrates. However, while Drosophila has only one Hh protein, mammals have multiple functional Hedgehog proteins - Sonic (Shh), Desert (Dhh), and Indian Hedgehog (Ihh). All of these homologous proteins have adapted to...

Interactions Between Signaling Pathways01:19

Interactions Between Signaling Pathways

7.4K
Signaling cascades usually lack linearity. Multiple pathways interact and regulate one another, allowing cells to integrate and respond to diverse environmental stimuli.
Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Research
  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • High altitude pulmonary hypertension (HAPH) is a serious condition characterized by hypoxia-induced pulmonary vasoconstriction and vascular remodeling.
  • HAPH can progress through distinct phases, leading to increased pulmonary pressures, right ventricular hypertrophy, and potentially heart failure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the intricate cellular signaling networks involved in HAPH pathogenesis.
  • To integrate canonical pathways (HIF, MAPK, BMP) with emerging targets (Wnt/β-catenin, Notch, Hippo-YAP, IL-6).

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of cellular signaling pathways in HAPH.
  • Integration of established and novel molecular targets.

Main Results:

  • Multiple signaling pathways, including HIF, MAPK, BMP, Wnt/β-catenin, Notch, Hippo-YAP, and IL-6, are implicated in HAPH.
  • Interventions targeting these pathways show potential in reducing vascular remodeling and right ventricular dysfunction.

Conclusions:

  • A deeper understanding of HAPH signaling networks is crucial for clinical translation.
  • Further research into molecular mechanisms, genetic/environmental interactions, and target validation is needed to develop effective interventions for HAPH.
