SLIDE 4 4 Canonical Wnt Signaling
Lewiecki et al, Nat Rev Rheumatol, 2011
NEW bone formation (quiescent & remodeling surfaces)
If no Wnt present, no signaling - β- catenin levels are LOW
precursors) recruits IC protein Axin which moves to tail of LRP5/6 (because of interaction with Dvl)
- Complex forms, recruits FRAT1
and glycogen synthase kinase-3 β
- Complex formation inhibits β-
catenin phosphorylation
- Non-phosphorylated β-catenin
accumulates in cytosol, goes to nucleus
- β-catenin binds to LEF/TCF
elements and activates OB transcription program
- RSPO & norrin modulate Wnt

- f β-catenin
- β-catenin~P
ubiquinated proteasome for degradation
- NO bone made
- Other inhibitors: N-
cadherin inhibits LRP5/Wnt; sclerostin & DKK1
