Problems solved by technology

Surprisingly, targeted knockout of the mouse Dkk3 gene disrupts the putative secretory DKK3 isoform, rendering it unable to provide a direct link between DKK3 and the Wnt / β-catenin signaling pathway

Embodiment

[0167] Dkk3 tml Cni Mutant mice were generated by interfering with exon 2 of the Dkk3 gene, which contains a biologically important CpG island and encodes the N-terminal 71 amino acid signal peptide sequence and N-terminal glycosylation of secreted DDK3 site ( Image 6 a). (Kobayashi et al. 2002 Gene 282, 151-158; Lodygin et al. 2005 Cancer Res65, 4218-4227; Sato et al. 2007 Carcinogenesis 28, 2459-2466.) There are two DKK3 isoforms in the meninges of the wild-type control group , glycosylated DDK3 accounts for about 75% of the total DDK3, and DKK3b accounts for about 25% ( Image 6 b, Figure 14 b).

[0168] Dkk3 tml Cni The expected loss of glycosylated DKK3 by targeting mutations in exon 2 was shown in the meninges of mutant mice. However, DKK3b not only exists but also upregulates about twice the amount ( Image 6 ), thus confirming that the smaller 30 kDa isoform is not a hydrolyzed fragment of the larger DKK3, and raising the possibility that epigenetic modificati...

Abstract

The invention relates to the discovery of a vital new component of the Wnt pathway that regulates trafficking of beta-catenin to the cell nucleus and novel therapeutic approaches to cancer treatment.Disclosed herein is a previously unknown, essential component of the Wnt / beta-catenin signaling pathway that governs the quantity of beta-catenin delivered to the cell nucleus. This intracellular inhibitor of beta-catenin signaling (IBS) is transcribed from a second transcriptional start site adjacent to exon 3 of the Dkk3 gene and is required for early mouse development. IBS captures beta-catenindestined for the nucleus in a complex with beta-TrCP that is bound to the actin cytoskeleton and unavailable for nuclear translocation.
