Rod formation was prevented by coexpression of N cadherin , APC , and Tcf 4 , which bind to the armadillo repeats of beta catenin , but not by coexpression of alpha catenin , although alpha catenin expression did prevent accumulation of beta catenin in the nucleus . ^^^ Interestingly , when alpha catenin , beta catenin , and Tcf 4 were coexpressed they colocalized in the nucleus , and this correlated with a decrease in beta catenin / Tcf dependent transcriptional activity . ^^^ These results indicate that binding of beta catenin to Tcf 4 overrides the function of alpha catenin to sequester beta catenin in the cytoplasm and suggest that alpha catenin can regulate beta catenin signaling in the nucleus . . ^^^

However , addition of 20 microM H ( 2 ) O ( 2 ) directly to HEK 293 cells transiently transfected with wild type or mutant beta catenin constructs and TCF 4 had no significant effect on beta catenin / TCF 4 reporter activity or beta catenin expression levels . ^^^ In contrast , 2 25 microM EGCG inhibited beta catenin / TCF 4 reporter activity in a concentration dependent fashion and there was a concomitant reduction in beta catenin protein levels in the cell lysates without changes in TCF 4 expression . ^^^ The results indicate that physiologically relevant concentrations of tea and EGCG inhibit beta catenin / TCF 4 reporter activity in HEK 293 cells due to reduced expression of beta catenin and that this is unlikely to be an artifact of H ( 2 ) O ( 2 ) generation under the assay conditions used here . ^^^
