Human Wilms Tumor 1 (WT1) interaction partners

1. our data demonstrate that WT1 protein undergoes proteolytic processing by caspase-3 (show CASP3 Proteins) in chemotherapeutic drugs-induced apoptosis. This processing is associated with a reduction of WT1 protein.

2. WT1 reduces malignancy of malignant mesothelioma cell lines and might be a new molecular target in mesothelioma therapy

3. WT1 overexpression indicates a poor prognosis in patients with some gynecological tumors, but more studies are needed to confirm these findings.

4. No increased frequencies were observed for WT1-specific T cells.

5. in vitro evidence to demonstrate that Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1) negatively regulates the expression of the atRA synthetic enzymes, ALDH1A1 (show ALDH1A1 Proteins), ALDH1A2 (show ALDH1A2 Proteins) and ALDH1A3 (show ALDH1A3 Proteins), in the 293 cell line, leading to significant blockage of atRA production.

6. the results of the present study are consistent with the hypothesis that miR (show MLXIP Proteins)-590 may promote G401 cell proliferation via downregulation of it specific target gene, WT1 as miR (show MLXIP Proteins)-590 expression level increased in Wilms' tumor tissues compared with normal kidney tissues.

7. our data demonstrated that NR4A1 (show NR4A1 Proteins) protein physically associates with the WT1 promoter, and enhanced WT1 promoter transactivation and knockdown of WT1 in MIN6 cells induced apoptosis. These findings suggest that NR4A1 (show NR4A1 Proteins) protects pancreatic beta-cells against H2O2 mediated apoptosis by up-regulating WT1 expression.

8. Multiple studies provide evidence that WT1 plays a significant role in a variety of cancers occurring mainly in childhood and adolescence, but with involvement in some adult cancers. Also, Wt1 has a tumor suppressive function and oncogenic properties as well.

9. Study highlighted the importance of WT1 mutations in developmental renal disorders and showed that novel genetic technologies, particularly rapid sequencing techniques, have allowed the identification of far more WT1 mutations, relevant to clinical practice, and thus highlighting the range of WT1 disease and variable phenotype-genotype correlation.

10. Study reviews the dynamic expression pattern of WT1 gene during embryonic development and its many functions in the regulation of the expression of target genes acting in tissue development, growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. [review]

Xenopus laevis Wilms Tumor 1 (WT1) interaction partners

1. WT1 interference with Wnt (show WNT2 Proteins) signaling represents an important mode of its action relevant to the suppression of tumor growth and guidance of development.

Pig (Porcine) Wilms Tumor 1 (WT1) interaction partners

1. Sodium butyrate-induced hyperacetylation up-regulates WT1 expression in porcine kidney fibroblasts, suggesting the involvement of histone acetylation in the transcriptional modulation of WT1 in porcine kidney cells.

2. Results indicate that WT1 plays important roles in the development of porcine preimplantation embryos, but not in oocyte maturation.

3. WT1 is expressed in porcine fetal fibroblasts, but the levels of expression were much lower compared to porcine primary kidney fibroblasts and swine testis, and WT1 is essential for the maintenance of development and survival of porcine fetal fibroblasts

Zebrafish Wilms Tumor 1 (WT1) interaction partners

1. Study summarizes the different roles of WT1b gene in the embryonic zebrafish kidney and the adult kidney as well. [review]

2. While wt1a has a more fundamental and early role in pronephros development and is essential for the formation of glomerular structures, wt1b functions at later stages of nephrogenesis.

Mouse (Murine) Wilms Tumor 1 (WT1) interaction partners

1. WT1 expression in CoRL is important for the glomerular response to damage. When WT1 is selectively deleted in CoRL in the setting of podocyte loss, their proliferation and migration to the glomerulus, and to some extent their transdifferentiation toward a podocyte fate through MET changes, are markedly reduced.

2. this study shows that WT1 ameliorates podocyte injury via repression of EZH2 (show EZH2 Proteins)/beta-catenin (show CTNNB1 Proteins) pathway in diabetic nephropathy

3. both the local oxygen environment and WT1, which enhances KDR (show KDR Proteins) expression, contribute to sex-specific Sox9 (show SOX9 Proteins) expression in developing murine gonads

4. The authors show that the posthepatic mesenchymal plate coelomic epithelium gives rise to a mesenchyme that populates the pleuroperitoneal folds isolating the pleural cavities before the migration of the somitic myoblasts. This process fails when Wt1 is deleted from this area.

5. Study reveals a novel role for Wt1 in early mammalian development and identifies proteases as critical mediators of the maternal-embryonic interaction. Data also suggest that the role of Wt1 in regulating fertility is conserved in mammals.

6. WT1 is required for the lineage specification of both Sertoli and granulosa cells by repressing Sf1 (show SF1 Proteins) expression. Without Wt1, the expression of Sf1 (show SF1 Proteins) was upregulated and the somatic cells differentiated into steroidogenic cells instead of supporting cells.

7. study provides novel insights into the role of WT1 and GATA4 (show GATA4 Proteins) during the sex differentiation phase and represents an approach that can be applied to assess other proteins with as yet unknown functions during gonadal development

8. WT1 regulates reporter gene expression through interaction with 3' UTR-binding sites

9. These results indicate that Osr1 (show OSR1 Proteins) and Wt1 act synergistically to regulate nephron endowment by controlling metanephric mesenchyme specification during early nephrogenesis.

10. Wt1 regulates the development of FLC.
