Bone mass is inversely proportional to Dkk1 levels in miceBryan T MacDonald
Division of Neuroscience, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Children s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA
Bone 41:331-9. 2007..Thus DKK1 is a negative regulator of normal bone homeostasis in vivo. Our study suggests that manipulation of DKK1 function or expression may have therapeutic significance for the treatment of low bone mass disorders...
Dissecting molecular differences between Wnt coreceptors LRP5 and LRP6Bryan T MacDonald
F M Kirby Neurobiology Center, Children s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America
PLoS ONE 6:e23537. 2011..Our studies therefore uncover a new and important molecular tuning mechanism for differential regulation of LRP5 and LRP6 phosphorylation and signaling activity...
A finger on the pulse of Wnt receptor signalingBryan T MacDonald
The F M Kirby Neurobiology Center, Boston Children s Hospital, Department of Neurology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA
Cell Res 22:1410-2. 2012..R-spondin binds to ZNRF3, in addition to transmembrane LGR4/5 receptors, to antagonize degradation of the Wnt receptors by ZNRF3, thereby resulting in increased Frizzled and LRP6 levels and a greater Wnt response...
Lrp5 functions in bone to regulate bone massYajun Cui
Orthopedic Research Laboratories, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Children s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Nat Med 17:684-91. 2011..These data indicate that Lrp5 signaling functions locally, and they suggest that increasing LRP5 signaling in mature bone cells may be a strategy for treating human disorders associated with low bone mass, such as osteoporosis...
Hypomorphic expression of Dkk1 in the doubleridge mouse: dose dependence and compensatory interactions with Lrp6Bryan T MacDonald
Department of Human Genetics, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109 0618, USA
Development 131:2543-52. 2004..These compensatory interactions between Dkk1 and Lrp6 demonstrate the importance of correctly balancing positive and negative regulation of Wnt signaling during mammalian development...
En1 and Wnt7a interact with Dkk1 during limb development in the mouseMaja Adamska
Department of Human Genetics, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor 48109 0618, USA
Dev Biol 272:134-44. 2004..The failure of Wnt7a inactivation to completely correct the limb defects of Dkk1d/dEn1-/- double mutants indicates that Wnt7a is not the only gene regulated by En1 during development of the mouse limb...
Doubleridge, a mouse mutant with defective compaction of the apical ectodermal ridge and normal dorsal-ventral patterning of the limbMaja Adamska
Department of Human Genetics, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109 0618, USA
Dev Biol 255:350-62. 2003..doubleridge thus exhibits an unusual limb phenotype combining abnormal compaction of the AER with normal dorsal/ventral patterning...
