摘要

The study of physiologic functions of Wnt proteins has been complicated by the redundant nature of the families encoding the Wnt factors and their Frizzled receptors. Adenoviral expression of the secreted Wnt antagonist Dickkopf-1 (Dkk1) was used to achieve fully conditional inhibition of canonical Wnt signaling in adult mice. Systemic expression of Dkk1 resulted in rapid inhibition of Wnt target gene expression and of proliferation of the small intestine and colon, loss of proliferative crypts, and eventual inflammation and architectural degeneration. These studies indicate an essential requirement for extracellular Wnt signaling in the maintenance of adult small intestine and colon proliferation. The essential role of Wnt signaling in ongoing proliferation in the colon suggests potential clinical applications in mucosal repair for inflammatory bowel diseases and underscores the utility of adenoviral strategies for conditional ablation of gene function in adult organisms.
