CL9/9L-beta-catenin Signaling is Associated With Poor Outcome in Colorectal Cancer

Michel Aguet, Patrick Rodriguez, Mauro Delorenzi, Pascale Anderle Pedone, Andreas Eduard Moor, Norbert Wiedemann, Sylvie André Baflast, Frédérique Baruthio

BCL9/9L proteins enhance the transcriptional output of the beta-catenin/TCF transcriptional complex and contribute critically to upholding the high WNT signaling level required for stemness maintenance in the intestinal epithelium. Here we show that a BCL9 ...

Colonic epithelial expression of ErbB2 is required for postnatal maintenance of the enteric nervous system

Marcella Giovannini

We utilized the Cre-LoxP system to establish erbB2 conditional mutant mice in order to investigate the role of erbB2 in postnatal development of the enteric nervous system. The erbB2/nestin-Cre conditional mutants exhibit retarded growth, distended colons, ...
