EpCAM Derepresses Wnt Targets and Cooperatively Activates Wnt Signaling with Wnt Ligand(A) TOP-FLASH firefly luciferase reporter assays normalized by Renilla luciferase activities. TOP-FLASH, Tcf-β-catenin reporter; m, mouse. Error bars represent SD.(B–D) In contrast to the wild-type control (B, 33/35), expression of myca in the liver-forming area is reduced in hi2151 mutants (C, 23/30), which is rescued by epcam mRNA (D, 29/36).(E) EpCAM and Wnt3a at low concentrations cooperatively allow formation of LRP6-signalosomes. The quantities of plasmids used for transfections are 10% of those used in Figure 5C.(F) TOP-FLASH luciferase reporter assays. HEK293T is an EpCAM deficient cell line. Note that Wnt2bb and EpCAM can cooperatively activate the reporter. h, human. Error bars represent SD.See also Table S1. |
