Introduction Wnt binds to Frizzled or other receptors such as
LRP5/6 Downstream signaling cascade including Dvl, GSK-3β,
Axin Accumulation of β-catenin enters nucleus and forms a
complex with Tcf/Lef This controls the expression of over a 100 genes Autism, Alzheimer's disease
AD patients with presenilin-1 mutation have low levels of β-catenin
LRP6 variations (influence Tcf/Lef reporter activity) associated with late onset AD

Discussion Down-regulation of Wnt signaling causes
hippocampal neurodegeneration Ectopically expressed β-catenin and Dvl-1 did not
enhance arborization despite previous literature Yu and Malenka used stabilized form of β-catenin
while this study used wild type β-catenin Rosso tested for Dvl-1 at 2 DIV instead of at 4 and 9
DIVC. Decreased Wnt signaling may play a part in
anxiety responses exhibited in patients with dementia
