摘要： Wnt蛋白与细胞膜上相应受体结合，引起胞质中β-catenin集聚并向核内转移，激活下游相关靶基因的转录。该信号通路是调节卵泡生长发育的一个关键途径。Wnt2影响β-catenin的细胞定位来调节颗粒细胞的增殖；Wnt4是一个多功能因子，在卵泡发育的许多阶段都有表达并通过多种途径来调节卵泡的生长、发育和成熟。受体Fzd1调节卵丘扩展相关因子的表达。β-catenin还参与合成卵巢甾体激素和黄体的生成。该通路受损时，会引起卵巢早衰、诱发颗粒细胞肿瘤、排卵障碍和黄体功能不足等。阐述经典的Wnt信号通路及其在调节卵泡发育过程中的作用及其分子机制。

Abstract: The transduction of Wnt signal involves the interaction between Wnt and Fzd as well as cooperation with single-pass co-receptors, which induces the β-catenin translocation to nucleus and the transcription of target genes. This Wnt pathway drives the proliferation of granulosa cells via the intracellular β-catenin translocation. Wnt4 is a pleiotropic player during prenatal and postnatal follicular development, maturation and survival. Fzd1 participates in regulating the expression of those genes involved in cumulus expansion. β-catenin also participates in steroidogenesis and luteogenesis. The maladjustment of β-catenin may lead to premature ovarian failure，granulosa cell tumors and luteal phase defects. In this review, we summarized the classical Wnt/β-catenin pathway and its roles in folliclogenesis.
