Kinetics of Wnt-Driven β-Catenin Stabilization Revealed by Quantitative and Temporal Imaging

The Wnt/β-catenin signal transduction pathway regulates a broad range of developmental processes. Aberrant activation of the Wnt pathway leads to cancer and degenerative diseases. β-catenin is a key signaling molecule that is frequently used as a direct monitor of Wnt pathway activation. This paper...

description The Wnt/β-catenin signal transduction pathway regulates a broad range of developmental processes. Aberrant activation of the Wnt pathway leads to cancer and degenerative diseases. β-catenin is a key signaling molecule that is frequently used as a direct monitor of Wnt pathway activation. This paper describes a multi-parametric method for quantitative analysis of cellular β-catenin protein levels in a rapid and high-throughput manner. The assay offers temporally resolved detection of Wnt-stimulated accumulation of β-catenin, simultaneously detecting cell number, and it sheds light onto the kinetics of posttranslational stabilization of β-catenin.
