Members of the Wnt family of signal transducers regulate cellular differentiation/reorganization and cellular proliferation. However, few pro-proliferative targets of Wnt have been identified. We now show that cyclin D1, a critical mediator of cell cycle progression, is a downstream target of Wnt-dependent signaling. NIH-3T3 cell lines engineered to overexpress Wnt1 displayed reduced glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta activity. Wnt1-dependent glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta inhibition corresponded with decreased cyclin D1 proteolysis and, thus, hyperaccumulation of active cyclin D1 . CDK4 (cyclin-dependent kinase 4) kinase. However, in the absence of serum-derived growth factors, Wnt-1 was not sufficient to drive cyclin D1 accumulation or S-phase entry. In contrast, cells engineered to co-express Wnt1 and activated MEK1 accumulated high levels of cyclin D1 and entered the DNA synthetic phase in the absence of serum-derived growth factors, a characteristic of neoplastic transformation. The ability of a dominant-negative cyclin D1 mutant, D1-T156A, to inhibit Wnt1/MEK1-dependent S-phase entry suggests that cyclin D1 is a critical downstream target for Wnt1- and MEK1-dependent cellular proliferation.
