Activation of β-catenin Signaling Pathways by Classical G-Protein-Coupled Receptors: Mechanisms and Consequences in Cycling and Non-cycling Cells

Abstract: Wnt signaling pathways are some of the most intensely studies in all of biology. Recently, a number of classical heterotrimeric G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been shown to activate the canonical Wnt pathway, culminating in the stabilization of b-catenin and induction of transcription of genes regulated by the Tcf/Lef family of transactivators. However, mechanisms by which these GPCRs accomplish this differ in key ways, and in some circumstances, the phenotypes produced are novel. Herein, we will exa… Show more

“…When Wnt signal is initiated, this destruction complex is disassembled, and the degradation of ␤-catenin is inhibited, facilitating its entry to the nucleus. Most of the previous studies have shown that the cross-talk of the signal transduction pathways between Wnt and classic GPCR occurs at GSK3 level (Shevtsov et al, 2006;Force et al, 2007). Results from this study show that the interaction between certain GPCRs and ␤-catenin could also control the canonical Wnt signaling pathway independently of the destruction complex.…”

“…The role of b-catenin signalling in fully differentiated cells, such as cardiomyocytes, is less clear, although current data suggest it is Wntindependent. In this cell type GSK3b is inactivated by PKB/ Akt, which in turn leads to the stabilisation of b-catenin and subsequent increase in TCF/LEF reporter gene expression [47,62]. Our results also link the emerin-b-catenin complex to GSK3b activity on both components, although further studies are required to ascertain its precise role.…”

“…A number of previous studies demonstrated that GPCR activation regulates ␤-catenin function and localization, but the mechanism(s) involved remained incompletely defined (50). PKD1, a major downstream element in GPCR signaling, plays a critical role in mediating migration and proliferation of intestinal epithelial cells (54,79).…”
