Beta-catenin is a key integrator of cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion and transcriptional regulation through the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway, which plays an important role in liver biology. In the present study, we showed that, although beta-catenin may augment the expression of selected target genes of the AhR, a transcriptional factor mediating toxic effects of persistent organic pollutants, the AhR activation may lead to downregulation of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, and alterations in differentiation and/or proliferative status of liver progenitor cells.
