Disease relevance of DKK1

  • These data support in vivo function of DKK1, independent of p53, in human gliomas with no major impact on their pathogenesis [1].
  • To analyze DKK1 for its role in initiation or progression, we screened a series of 73 brain tumors for structural alterations in the entire coding sequence by single-strand conformation polymorphism and direct sequencing [1].
  • The genomic structure, chromosome location, and analysis of the human DKK1 head inducer gene as a candidate for holoprosencephaly [2].
  • The role of the Wnt-signaling antagonist DKK1 in the development of osteolytic lesions in multiple myeloma [3].
  • In primary colorectal tumors, DKK-1 was found hypermethylated in 17% (nine of 54) of cases [4].
  • DKK-1 is expressed at high level in colon cancer cell lines with a differentiated phenotype such as Caco-2 or HT-29 [5].

Associations of DKK1 with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of DKK1

  • The G171V mutation prevents Dkk from binding to LRP5, thereby increasing LRP5 function; the result is high bone mass due to uncoupling of bone formation and resorption [21].
 

Regulatory relationships of DKK1

  • Our data indicate that the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway is downregulated by the induction of DKK-1 expression, a mechanism that is lost in colon cancer [22].
  • DKK1 translation can be induced by p53, thereby linking TP53 and Wnt/beta1-catenin signaling pathways [1].
  • In vitro, TCF-Lef activity in presence of Wnt3a was significantly reduced in cells expressing LRP5 haplotypes carrying the T allele of exon 10 and 18 compared to the wild-type allele, whereas co-expression of Dkk1 completely inhibited Wnt3a response through all LRP5 haplotypes [23].
  • Early Wnt-3A signaling as measured by beta-catenin accumulation was not affected by the BMP antagonists but was blocked by Dkk-1 [24].
  • The regulatory action of DKK1 antisense oligonucleotide treatment on bone tissue appeared to suppress the promoting effect of estrogen deficiency on osteoclastogenesis-stimulatory factor RANKL expression and osteoclast differentiation [18].
 

Other interactions of DKK1

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of DKK1

  • A combined ELISA assays for both DKK1 and carcinoembryonic antigen increased sensitivity and classified 82.2% of the NSCLC patients as positive whereas only 7.7% of healthy volunteers were falsely diagnosed to be positive [28].
  • We found that DKK1 antisense oligonucleotide significantly abrogated the suppressing effect of ovariectomy on weight, mineral content, mineral density and peak load of femurs [18].
  • Quantitative RT-PCR confirmed the expression of Dkk3 in the implants [29].
  • Overexpression of Dkk-1 and Dkk-4 was further confirmed by real-time PCR [30].
  • We examined the hDkk-1 expression levels in 32 HB biopsy specimens and in the corresponding liver samples, in 4 HB cell lines, and in a panel of other tumors and normal tissues using a differential PCR approach and Northern blotting [31].
