What's a GeneRIF?

Study of cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) model in rats and clinical study of contrast agent induced AKI is the first to demonstrate that increased expression of renal and urinary Wnt4 can be detected earlier than serum creatinine after drug-induced AKI suggesting that urinary Wnt4 can potentially serve as a noninvasive biomarker for monitoring patients with tubular injury.
Title: Wnt4 is significantly upregulated during the early phases of cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury.
Compared with the saline Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)-group, transplantation with CD34+ human hematopoietic stem cells produced a further increase in the levels of wnt4 (+19.4%) and p53 gene expression (+53%), a 2-fold increase in the percentage of cancer progenitor cells and increased HCC pathology grading
Title: Effect of human umbilical cord blood derived CD34(+) hematopoietic stem cell on the expression of Wnt4 and P53 genes in a rat model of hepatocellular carcinoma.
This suggests that soybean isoflavones could delay the process of renal interstitial fibrosis in DN rats by decreasing the expression of Wnt4, beta-catenin and TGF-beta1 in the renal interstitium, thus demonstrating that soybean isoflavones plus losartan have the best protective effects against diabetes-induced renal fibrosis.
Title: Effects of soybean isoflavones on Wnt/β-catenin and the TGF-β1 signaling pathway in renal tissue of type 2 diabetic rats.
Dvl-1 was probably a key regulator in the pathway of wnt4/beta-catenin to take part in the vascular restenosis in a rat model of balloon-injured carotid artery
Title: Wnt4/β-catenin signaling pathway modulates balloon-injured carotid artery restenosis via disheveled-1.
The 5'-flanking region of the Wnt4 gene is responsive to Pax8. Pax8 modulates the expression of Wnt4 in thyroid cells.
Title: Pax8 modulates the expression of Wnt4 that is necessary for the maintenance of the epithelial phenotype of thyroid cells.
Data indicate that spironolactone (SPI) promoted activation of the Wnt signalling pathway in mesangial cells (MCs), leading to upregulation of Wnt4 and Wnt5a mRNA expression.
Title: Spironolactone inhibits apoptosis in rat mesangial cells under hyperglycaemic conditions via the Wnt signalling pathway.
demonstrate that Wnt4 is post-transcriptionally repressed by miR-24, a Ras-induced micro RNA (miRNA) targeting the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of Wnt4
Title: Wnt4 inhibits cell motility induced by oncogenic Ras.
Wnt4 is expressed in the adult pituitary gland and is induced by estrogen.

IGF-1/IGF1R induces Wnt4 expression and beta-catenin activation and also stimulates growth plate chondrocyte proliferation and modestly promotes chondrocyte hypertrophy
Title: Thyroid hormone-mediated growth and differentiation of growth plate chondrocytes involves IGF-1 modulation of beta-catenin signaling.
These data indicate that thyroid hormone may regulate terminal differentiation of growth plate chondrocytes in part by modulating Wnt signaling pathways through the induction of CPZ and subsequent CPZ-enhanced activation of Wnt-4.
Title: Carboxypeptidase Z (CPZ) links thyroid hormone and Wnt signaling pathways in growth plate chondrocytes.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
