Wnt/β-catenin signalling is an important regulator of liver development, zonation and regeneration. The cell surface complex RSPO-LGR4/5-ZNF3/RNF43 is now shown to direct Wnt/β-catenin signalling in orchestrating the division of the liver into functionally distinct metabolic zones, providing insights into the mechanisms that influence organ development and regeneration.
Wnt/β-catenin 信号通路是肝脏发育、分区和再生的重要调节因子。现在已经表明,细胞表面复合物 RSPO-LGR4/5-ZNF3/RNF43 可直接指导 Wnt/β-catenin 信号通路,协调肝脏的功能区分代谢区的划分,为影响器官发育和再生的机制提供了新的见解。
