abstract = {The primary cilium is a microtubule-based organelle
essential for various cellular functions, particularly
signal transduction. While the role of cilia in regulating
signaling pathways has been extensively studied, the impact
of signaling pathways on cilia formation remains less well
understood. Wnt signals are critical modulators of cell
fate. In this study, we investigate how modulating Wnt
signaling affects cilia formation in human retinal pigment
epithelial (hTERT-RPE1) cells. Our findings show that
enhancement of Wnt/LRP6 signaling before serum starvation
delays ciliogenesis. Cells with high baseline Wnt activity
exhibited distal appendage dysregulation, failure to remove
CP110/CEP97 from mother centrioles, and reduced Rab8-vesicle
docking, which are critical events for cilia membrane
establishment and axoneme extension. Additionally, these
cells displayed reduced autophagic flux, increased mTOR
kinase activity, and elevated OFD1 levels at centriolar
satellites. Importantly, mTOR inhibition rescued
ciliogenesis in cells with elevated Wnt activity,
underscoring the interplay between these signaling pathways.
Our data also indicate that insufficient Wnt signaling
activation disrupts ciliogenesis, emphasizing the need for
precisely regulated Wnt levels.},
