Wnt signaling is involved in variety of developmental processes including cell fate determination, cell polarity, tissue patterning and control of cell proliferation. Members of the Frizzled family of proteins serve as receptors for the Wnt signaling pathway. The predicted structure of Frizzled proteins is similar among all family members, containing a divergent N-terminal signal peptide, a highly conserved extracellular cysteine-rich domain, a variable-length linker region, a seven-pass transmembrane domain, and a variable-length C-terminal tail. One of the most conserved regions of the Frizzled proteins is the extracellular cysteine-rich domain (CRD) which spans approximately 120 AA and contains 10 invariant cysteines (1). Mouse Frizzled-2 shows 100% amino acid identity to human and rat Frizzled-2 in the CRD region. Frizzled-2 expression is greater in embryonic than adult tissues, with heart, brain, lung, kidney and gut showing the highest levels (2). In addition, Frizzled-2 is expressed during migration and proliferation of neural crest cells that populate the heart and great arteries (3). A non-canonical Frizzled-2 pathway has been shown to regulate Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) and metastasis (4). Secreted frizzled related proteins (sFRPs), antagonists of the Wnt pathway, have been shown to interact with both Wnt ligands and Frizzled receptors (5).

Detection of Frizzled-2 by Western Blot
Small intestinal epithelial cells of Plcb3−/− mice exhibit downregulation of the Wnt/ beta -catenin signaling pathway. (A) GSEA indicates that the gene expression pattern in isolated IECs from Plcb3−/− mice correlates with the reduced expression of Wnt/ beta -catenin signature genes (upper left), Lgr4 regulated signature genes (lower left), Lgr4/Lgr5 regulated signature genes (upper right), and Ascl2 signature genes (lower right). NES: normalized enrichment score. n = 3 biological replicates. (B) qRT-PCR analysis of isolated IECs from WT and Plcb3−/− mice exposed to sterilized water or 3% DSS for 2 days. Normalized against Hprt mRNA. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001; **** p < 0.0001, determined by two-tailed Student’s t-test. (C) GSEA with isolated IECs from Plcb3 ∆IEC mice indicated the reduced expression of Wnt/ beta -catenin (upper left), Lgr4 (lower left), Lgr4/Lgr5 (upper right), and Ascl2 (lower right) signature genes at the homeostatic condition. (D) Small intestines of WT and Plcb3−/− mice exposed to sterilized water or 3% DSS for 2 days were separated into mesenchymal tissues. RNAs isolated were subjected to qRT-PCR analysis. mRNA amounts for several Wnt ligands and Wnt secretion enablers (Wls and Porcn) were normalized against Hprt. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01, determined by Student’s t-test. (E) Western blot analysis of Wnt/ beta -catenin signaling proteins from WT and Plcb3−/− mice (3 mice each) under H2O and 2-day DSS treatments.
