Article Abstract
Objective. Inhibiting gene β -catenin and inducting genes GSK-3 β and APC, promoting the tumor cell apoptosis in Wnt pathway, by chlorogenic acid were discussed (CGA). Method. The different genes were scanned by the 4∗44K mouse microarray chips. The effect of the three genes was confirmed by RT-PCR technique with CGA dosage of 5, 10, and 20 mg/kg. Result. The expression of GSK-3 β and APC was upregulated in group of 20 mg/kg dosage (P < 0.05) and the expression of β -catenin was downregulated in the same dosage (P < 0.05). Conclusion. The results infer that the multimeric protein complex of β -catenin could be increased by CGA upregulated genes GSK-3 β and APC, which could inhibit the free β -catenin into the nucleus to connect with TCF. So the transcriptional expression of the target genes will be cut to abnormal cell proliferation. It is probably one of the ways that can stop the tumor increase by CGA.

Accumulated β-catenin is associated with human atrial fibrosis and atrial fibrillation.

Article Synopsis
- Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of stroke and death, and this study investigates how β-catenin may influence atrial fibrosis in humans, using human right atrial appendage (hRAA) tissues.
- The research compared β-catenin levels in AF patients versus those with normal sinus rhythm, and also used mice and primary cells to explore β-catenin's role in AF development.
- Key findings showed that AF patients had wider gaps in cardiomyocyte junctions, increased β-catenin expression, decreased gap junction proteins, and that inhibiting β-catenin could prevent both atrial fibrosis and AF in model mice.
Telomere dysfunction alters intestinal stem cell dynamics to promote cancer.

Telomere dynamics are linked to aging hallmarks, and age-associated telomere loss fuels the development of epithelial cancers. In Apc-mutant mice, the onset of DNA damage associated with telomere dysfunction has been shown to accelerate adenoma initiation via unknown mechanisms. Here, we observed that Apc-mutant mice engineered to experience telomere dysfunction show accelerated adenoma formation resulting from augmented cell competition and clonal expansion.

Unlabelled: AXIN1 is a major component of the β-catenin destruction complex and is frequently mutated in various cancer types, particularly liver cancers. Truncating AXIN1 mutations are recognized to encode a defective protein that leads to β-catenin stabilization, but the functional consequences of missense mutations are not well characterized. Here, we first identified the GSK3β, β-catenin, and RGS/APC interaction domains of AXIN1 that are the most critical for proper β-catenin regulation.

Sine oculis homeobox homolog 1 (Six1) is a developmentally important transcription factor that regulates cellular proliferation, apoptosis, and dissemination during embryogenesis. Six1 overexpression as reported in multiple cancers modulates expression of a repertoire of its target genes causing an increase in proliferation, metastasis and survival of cancer cells. Six1 exists as a cell cycle regulated nuclear phosphoprotein and its cellular turnover is regulated by APC/C (Anaphase promoting complex / Cyclosome) complex mediated proteolysis.

Activation of Wnt signaling triggers macropinocytosis and drives many tumors. We now report that the exogenous addition of the second messenger lipid sn-1,2 DAG to the culture medium rapidly induces macropinocytosis. This is accompanied by potentiation of the effects of added Wnt3a recombinant protein or the glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) inhibitor lithium chloride (LiCl, which mimics Wnt signaling) in luciferase transcriptional reporter assays.
