WISP1 gene silencing suppresses the activation of the wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway.
Title: WISP1 silencing confers protection against epithelial-mesenchymal transition of renal tubular epithelial cells in rats via inactivation of the wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in uremia.
WISP1 may be a potential inducer of airway smooth muscle proliferation and hypertrophy in asthma. The pro-remodeling effect of WISP1 is likely due to be involved in PI3K-GSK3beta-dependent noncanonical TGF-beta signaling.

Title: A role for WNT1-inducible signaling protein-1 in airway remodeling in a rat asthma model.
these results showed the upregulation of WISP-1 in both in vitro and in vivo liver fibrosis models, and WISP-1 stimulated the proliferation of HSCs in vitro.
Title: Wnt-induced secreted protein 1/CCN4 in liver fibrosis both in vitro and in vivo.
Results suggest that CCN4 is involved in the migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells. Inhibition of CCN4 may provide a promising strategy for the prevention of restenosis after vascular interventions.
Title: CCN4 regulates vascular smooth muscle cell migration and proliferation.
WISP1/CCN4 autoregulates its expression through the promotion of beta-catenin activity and may employ beta-catenin to have a limited control over autophagy.
Title: WISP1 (CCN4) autoregulates its expression and nuclear trafficking of β-catenin during oxidant stress with limited effects upon neuronal autophagy.
we demonstrate that WISP1 is present in primary hippocampal neurons during oxidant stress
Title: Wnt1 inducible signaling pathway protein 1 (WISP1) blocks neurodegeneration through phosphoinositide 3 kinase/Akt1 and apoptotic mitochondrial signaling involving Bad, Bax, Bim, and Bcl-xL.
Ang-II induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy is mediated through AT1, NOX2 and the induction of WISP1, and may involve the direct interaction of AT1 with NOX2.
Title: Angiotensin-II type 1 receptor and NOX2 mediate TCF/LEF and CREB dependent WISP1 induction and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.
WISP-1 stimulates cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, fibroblast proliferation, and ECM expression in vitro. These results suggest that WISP-1 may play a critical role in post-myocardial infarction remodeling.
Title: Wnt-induced secreted protein-1 is a prohypertrophic and profibrotic growth factor.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
