WNT/β-Catenin Signaling Is Required for Integration of CD₂₄₊ Renal Progenitor Cells into Glycerol-Damaged Adult Renal Tubules

Table 1

Wnt mRNA expression in mouse embryonic and adult kidney.

	Wnt4	Wnt7b	Wnt9b	Wnt11
E15 mouse kidney	+	+	+	+
CD24+ cells (E15)	+	+	No	+
Adult kidney (no glycerol)	No	+	+	No
Adult kidney (with glycerol)	+	+	+	No

Transcripts for each Wnt were identified by RT/PCR in E15 mouse kidney, CD24 cells isolated by FACS from E15 mouse kidney, normal adult mouse kidney, and adult mouse kidney 3 days after induction of glycerol-induced proximal tubular injury.
