Wnt1 was originally identified by virtue of its mutant phenotype in Drosophila and its causation of mammary tumors in mice, but, in its history, Wnt1 has been a nexus for ground-breaking discoveries in developmental biology, evolutionary biology, and disease. Wnt1 orthologs are found across the animal kingdom and play a role in a multitude of developmental and homeostatic mechanisms involving proliferation, cell fate specification, stem cell maintenance and tissue homeostasis. In vertebrates, Wnt1 is located in a syntenic chromosome neighborhood that is essential to its conserved expression in the developing nervous system. Wnt1 is essential for nervous system development, in particular for the midbrain and anterior hindbrain. Wnt1 also is essential for bone homeostasis, and mutant alleles are behind severe cases of recessive osteogenesis imperfecta in humans. This primer reviews the illustrious history of Wnt1, its gene structure and regulation, expression, loss-of-function consequences, and connection to human disease.
期刊介绍:
Differentiation is a multidisciplinary journal dealing with topics relating to cell differentiation, development, cellular structure and function, and cancer. Differentiation of eukaryotes at the molecular level and the use of transgenic and targeted mutagenesis approaches to problems of differentiation are of particular interest to the journal.
The journal will publish full-length articles containing original work in any of these areas. We will also publish reviews and commentaries on topics of current interest.
The principal subject areas the journal covers are: • embryonic patterning and organogenesis
• human development and congenital malformation
• mechanisms of cell lineage commitment
• tissue homeostasis and oncogenic transformation
• establishment of cellular polarity
• stem cell differentiation
• cell reprogramming mechanisms
• stability of the differentiated state
• cell and tissue interactions in vivo and in vitro
• signal transduction pathways in development and differentiation
• carcinogenesis and cancer
• mechanisms involved in cell growth and division especially relating to cancer
• differentiation in regeneration and ageing
• therapeutic applications of differentiation processes.
