Role of glycogen synthase kinase 3 in squamous differentiation induced by cigarette smoke in porcine tracheobronchial epithelial cells.
TL;DR: It is found that in vitro cigarette smoke components notably inhibited glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) and induced the expression of involucrin, a marker of squamous differentiation, implying a possible mechanism responsible forSquamous differentiation induced by cigarette smoke.

IQGAP1 activates Tcf signal independent of Rac1 and Cdc42 in injury and repair of bronchial epithelial cells
TL;DR: It is suggested that IQGAP1 mediated cell proliferation through activating Tcf in a manner independent of Rac1 and Cdc42 in wound repair of BECs.

Cigarette smoke extract induces activation of β-catenin/TCF signaling through inhibiting GSK3β in human alveolar epithelial cell line
TL;DR: It is suggested that CSE induces the activation of beta-catenin/TCF signaling through inhibiting GSK3beta, implying a possible mechanism responsible for the injurious and cytotoxic effects on alveolar epithelial cell caused by cigarette smoke.

Glycogen synthase kinase 3β and β-catenin are involved in the injury and repair of bronchial epithelial cells induced by scratching
TL;DR: The studies suggest that the scratching-induced injury and repair of BECs may involve inhibition of GSK3β activity which can lead to activation of the downstream signaling through β-catenin, providing a possible mechanism implicated in the injury and Repair of airway epithelium.

IQGAP1 promotes cell proliferation and is involved in a phosphorylation-dependent manner in wound closure of bronchial epithelial cells.
TL;DR: The results suggest that IQGAP1 promotes cell proliferation and phosphorylation of IQG AP1 is involved in the process of wound closure in BECs.
