Aberrant Activation of the WNT/[beta]-Catenin Signaling Pathway in Lupus Nephritis

The canonical WNT pathway has been implicated as playing important roles in the pathogenesis of a variety of kidney diseases. Recently, WNT pathway activity was reported to be elevated in the renal tissue of a lupus mouse model. This study aimed to evaluate the potential role of the WNT pathway in t...

description The canonical WNT pathway has been implicated as playing important roles in the pathogenesis of a variety of kidney diseases. Recently, WNT pathway activity was reported to be elevated in the renal tissue of a lupus mouse model. This study aimed to evaluate the potential role of the WNT pathway in the pathogenesis of human lupus nephritis. The expression of [beta]-catenin was evaluated in renal biopsy specimens from lupus nephritis patients and control kidney tissues by immunohistochemistry and western blotting. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect RNA expression of [beta]-catenin, Dkk-1 and Axin2. Plasma concentrations of Dkk-1 were measured by ELISA. Immunohistochemistry and western blotting revealed increased expression of [beta]-catenin in the kidneys of patients with lupus nephritis compared with control kidney tissues (p
