Fig 8. The molecular mechanisms of Wnt signaling pathway regulation by MMP3 and biglycan.

Fig 8

MMP3 activates the canonical Wnt signaling pathway by cooperating with Wnt3a or antagonizing Wnt5b function, which is a non-canonical Wnt ligand and inhibitor of Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Biglycan enhances Wnt-induced β-catenin/TCF-mediated transcriptional activity via the LRP6 receptor.
