The mRNA levels of some phenotypic markers,including AFP,CK19,ALB and two hepatic nuclear factors(HNF4α,HNF6) were determined by RTPCR.CK19 and AFP protein expression were examined by Westernblot analysis.Results We found that Wnt3a promoted proliferation of WBF344 cells.Stimulating of WBF344 cells with recombinant Wnt3a resulted in the accumulation of the transcriptional activator βcatenin,together with its translocation into the nucleus,and the upregulation of typical Wnt target genes cyclin D1.After 3 days of Wnt3a treatment in the absence of any serum,these cells retained their bipotential to express several specific hepatocyte and cholangiocyte phenotypic markers,such as AFP,CK19 following activation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway.Conclusions The canonical Wnt signaling pathway promotes proliferation and selfrenewal of rat hepatic oval cells.","PeriodicalId":63159,"journal":{"name":"中华临床医师杂志(电子版)","volume":"5 1","pages":"4324-4330"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70279142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
