b -Catenin pathway was stimulated by Wnt-3a CM but not required for migration in transwell assay.

RhoA was activated by Wnt-3a CM and contributed to Wnt-3a-dependent cell migration.

the pull-down assay used to detect active small GTPases
GST-RBD pull-down assay
the N-terminal region of Raf1 protein kinase contains the Ras–binding domain (RBD)the N-terminal regulatory region in p21-activated protein kinase 1 and 2 (Pak1 and 2) contains the p21-binding domain (PBD) for Rac and Cdc42, the N-terminal region of Rhotekin contains the Rho-binding domain (RBD).
The GTPase-binding domains from these downstream effectors are expressed as recombinant glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion proteins immobilized on glutathione resin and can be used to affinity precipitate (pull-down) the active GTPase from cell lysates. Pulled-down active GTPases are eluted from the resin and detected by immunoblotting with a specific antibody
