Autocrine and paracrine Wnt signaling in the lung. Several Wnt ligands are expressed in either the epithelium or mesenchyme during development and in the adult. β-catenin is expressed in both alveolar epithelium as well as the adjacent mesenchyme. Epithelial-mesenchymal signaling via Wnts may regulate diverse aspects of lung development and injury repair.
