    Description: Wnts are secreted signaling proteins that regulate developmental processes. Here we show that Wnt signaling, likely mediated by Wnt-10b, is a molecular switch that governs adipogenesis. Wnt signaling maintains preadipocytes in an undifferentiated state through inhibition of the adipogenic transcription factors CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBPalpha) and peroxisome proliferator- activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma). When Wnt signaling in preadipocytes is prevented by overexpression of Axin or dominant-negative TCF4, these cells differentiate into adipocytes. Disruption of Wnt signaling also causes transdifferentiation of myoblasts into adipocytes in vitro, highlighting the importance of this pathway not only in adipocyte differentiation but also in mesodermal cell fate determination.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ross, S E -- Hemati, N -- Longo, K A -- Bennett, C N -- Lucas, P C -- Erickson, R L -- MacDougald, O A -- 5P60 DK20572/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01-DK51563/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- T32-DK07245/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Aug 11;289(5481):950-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Physiology, Department of Pathology, University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-0622, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10937998" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: Summary Milk secretion and mammary function in dairy animals are regulated by local mechanisms sensitive to the frequency or efficiency of milking. Acute local control of milk secretion occurs through autocrine feedback inhibition by a milk protein. Sustained changes in milking frequency and milk secretion are associated with longer-term adaptations in the degree of differentiation and, ultimately, the number of mammary epithelial cells. Differentiation of cultured mammary cells is suppressed by a milk fraction containing the inhibitor, suggesting that intra-mammary regulation of differentiation in vivo is elicited by the same autocrine regulator subsequent to its acute effect on milk secretion. The autocrine factor may affect mammary cell differentiation by modulating the number of cell surface hormone receptors for prolactin, thereby changing their sensitivity to circulating hormones.
