BACKGROUND:Wnt5a is able to inhibit canonical Wnt signaling and activate non-canonical Wnt signaling pathway. In recent years, it has been found that non-classical Wnt5a/PCP signaling pathway mediated by Wnt5a plays an important role in the process of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel proliferation and differentiation, but the underlying mechanism is unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To summarize the progress in downstream effector molecules related to Wnt5a/PCP signaling pathway, and its roles in the chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s.
METHODS:A computer-based online search of CqVip, CNKI and PubMed databases between January 2000 and February 2016 was performed using the Chinese keywords of“BMSCs, Wnt signaling pathways, chondrogenic differentiation, osteogenic differentiation”and English keywords of“BMSCs, chondrogenic differentiation, osteogenic differentiation, Wnt, Fzd, Ror2, RhoA, ROCK, JNK”, respectively. Literatures related to bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation were selected. Final y, 43 eligible articles were included for analysis through excluding the old and repeated research.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Wnt5a, a representative protein in non-canonical Wnt signaling pathway, paticipates in the cytoskeleton, cel migration and cel polarization and other activities by mediating its downstream signaling molecules such as Fzd, Ror, RhoA, ROCK, JNK, thereby regulating its proliferation and differentiation. But it is unclear how Wnt5a/PCP participates in the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation and how the downstream effector molecules interact or function independently, which requires further studies.
