Early Transcriptional Changes Induced by Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Hippocampal Neurons by Eduardo Pérez-Palma, Víctor Andrade, Mario O. Caracci, Bernabé I. Bustos, Camilo Villaman, Matías A. Medina, Miguel E. Ávila, Giorgia D. Ugarte, Giancarlo V. De Ferrari

“…Wnt/β-catenin signaling modulates brain development and function and its deregulation underlies pathological changes occurring in neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders. Since one of the main effects of Wnt/β-catenin signaling is the modulation of target genes, in the present work we examined global transcriptional changes induced by short-term Wnt3a treatment (4 h) in primary cultures of rat hippocampal neurons. …”
