PKA inhibits WNT signalling in adrenal cortex zonation and prevents malignant tumour development

The adrenal cortexundergoes functional zonation to generate an outer zona glomerulosa(ZG) and inner zona fasciculata(ZF), but how this is regulated at a molecular level is unclear. Here, the authors show that ZG differentiation is stimulated by WNT signalling and that PKA blocks WNT signalling to allow ZF differentiation and also prevents WNT-induced cancer development.
