表皮修复过程中Wnt信号途径的研究进展

Research Progress of Wnt Signaling Pathway in the Epidermal Repair

Wnt信号通路是一个复杂的蛋白质作用网络,其功能最常见于胚胎发育和癌症,但也参与成年动物的正常生理过程。随着皮肤组织工程的快速发展,关于皮肤创后愈合过程中的Wnt信号的研究也越来越多。目前已知Wnt信号途径在表皮干细胞、表皮生长因子以及毛囊发育等重要表皮修复的相关因素中发挥重要作用,系统地研究Wnt信号途径在皮肤组织中的表达及作用过程具有重要临床意义。本文就近年来Wnt信号途径在表皮修复过程中的研究进展做以下综述。

Wnt signaling pathway is a complex protein interaction network, and its function can most commonly or of- ten be seen in embryonic development and cancer treatments, and meanwhile it is also involved in normal physiologi- cal processes in adult animals. Recently, with the rapid development of skin tissue engineering, there have been more and more researches on signal pathway in skin wound healing. At present, it is known that Wnt signaling pathway plays a vital role in the epidermal stem cells, epidermal growth factors, hair follicle development and other important factors related to the epidermal repair. The systemic research on Wnt signaling pathway has important clinical significance in the demonstration and functional process of the skin tissue. In this paper, we review the research development of the Wnt signaling pathway in the epidermal repair process.
