Hepatoblastoma is a rare malignant tumor of the liver that occurs in children at an average age of 2 to 3 years. Epidemiologic studies have shown an increased frequency of this tumor type in families affected by adenomatous polyposis coli. In addition to the epidemiologic data, molecular genetic stu

As a signaling protein in the Wnt pathway ␤-catenin plays a crucial role in the regulation of cellular proliferation. Recently, oncogenic ␤-catenin mutations were described in human colorectal cancer and melanoma cell lines. Since activating mutations in the ␤-catenin gene have similar effects on th

Beta-catenin plays an important role in the Wnt signaling pathway by activating T-cell factor (Tcf)/lymphoid enhancer factor (Lef)-regulated gene transcription. The level of beta-catenin is regulated through GSK-3beta phosphorylation of specific serine and threonine residues, all of which are encode

␤-catenin has been identified as an oncogene. Phosphorylation of sites encoded by exon 3 of the ␤-catenin gene facilitates degradation of this protein by the adenomatous polyposis coli (apc) gene product. Mutations in these sites or inactivation of apc lead to stabilization of ␤-catenin, which then

Recent evidence suggests that the β-catenin gene (CTNNB1) acts as an oncogene, and some human colon tumors with an intact APC gene have activating mutations in CTNNB1. In this study, mutations in the region corresponding to N-terminal phosphorylation sites (codons 1-51) of the rat Ctnnb1 gene were i

To clarify molecular mechanisms underlying liver carcinogenesis induced by aberrant activation of Wnt pathway, we isolated the target genes of ␤-catenin from mice exhibiting constitutive activated ␤-catenin in the liver. Adenovirus-mediated expression of oncogenic ␤-catenin was used to isolate early
