The Wnt Signaling Pathway in Tumorigenesis, Pharmacological
Wang et al. Biomarker Research (2021) 9:68 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40364-021-00323-7 REVIEW Open Access The Wnt signaling pathway in tumorigenesis, pharmacological targets, and drug development for cancer therapy Zhuo Wang1,2†, Tingting Zhao1,2†, Shihui Zhang3, Junkai Wang1, Yunyun Chen1,2, Hongzhou Zhao1,2, Yaxin Yang4, Songlin Shi2, Qiang Chen5 and Kuancan Liu1,2* Abstract Wnt signaling was initially recognized to be vital for tissue development and homeostasis maintenance. Further studies revealed that this pathway is also important for tumorigenesis and progression. Abnormal expression of signaling components through gene mutation or epigenetic regulation is closely associated with tumor progression and poor prognosis in several tissues. Additionally, Wnt signaling also influences the tumor microenvironment and immune response. Some strategies and drugs have been proposed to target this pathway, such as blocking receptors/ligands, targeting intracellular molecules, beta-catenin/TCF4 complex and its downstream target genes, or tumor microenvironment and immune response. Here we discuss the roles of these components in Wnt signaling pathway in tumorigenesis and cancer progression, the underlying mechanisms that is responsible for the activation of Wnt signaling, and a series of drugs targeting the Wnt pathway provide multiple therapeutic values. Although some of these drugs exhibit exciting anti-cancer effect, clinical trials and systematic evaluation should be strictly performed along with multiple-omics technology.

Improvements in mass spectrometry instrumentation and computation and in protein biochemistry methods have resulted in several new methods for ubiquitin ligase substrate identification. Here we used the parallel adapter capture (PAC) proteomics approach to study TrCP2/FBXW11, a substrate adaptor for the SKP1–CUL1–F-box (SCF) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. The processivity of the ubiquitylation reaction necessitates transient physical interactions between FBXW11 and its substrates, thus making biochemi- cal purification of FBXW11-bound substrates difficult. Using the PAC-based approach, we inhibited the proteasome to “trap” ubiquitylated substrates on the SCFFBXW11 E3 complex. Comparative mass spectrometry analysis of immunopurified FBXW11 protein complexes before and after proteasome inhibition revealed 21 known and 23 putatively novel substrates. In focused studies, we found that SCFFBXW11 bound, polyubiquitylated, and destabilized RAPGEF2, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor that activates the small GTPase RAP1. -

Chemoresistance and the development of recurrent tumors are two of the leading factors of cancer-related deaths. The Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) tumor suppressor is lost in many different cancers, including colorectal, breast, and prostate cancer, and its loss correlates with a decreased overall survival in cancer patients. While APC is commonly known for its role as a negative regulator of the WNT pathway, APC has numerous binding partners and functional roles. Through APC’s interactions with DNA repair proteins, DNA replication proteins, tubulin, and other components, recent evidence has shown that APC regulates the chemotherapy response in cancer cells. In this review article, we provide an overview of some of the cellular processes in which APC participates and how they impact chemoresistance through both epithelial- and TME-derived mechanisms. Keywords: adenomatous polyposis coli; chemoresistance; WNT signaling 1. -

The interaction between Wnt proteins transduction cascade have been shown to affect both β-catenin- and cell surface receptors can result in a variety of intracellular dependent and -independent responses, depending on the cellular responses. A key remaining question is how these specific context. As we discuss below, this holds true for the Wnt proteins responses take shape in the context of a complex, multicellular themselves, as well as for their receptors and some intracellular organism. Recent studies suggest that we have to revise some of messengers. Rather than concluding that these proteins are shared our most basic ideas about Wnt signal transduction. Rather than between pathways, we instead propose that it is the total net thinking about Wnt signaling in terms of distinct, linear, cellular balance of signals that ultimately determines the response of the signaling pathways, we propose a novel view that considers the receiving cell. In the context of an intact and developing integration of multiple, often simultaneous, inputs at the level organism, cells receive multiple, dynamic, often simultaneous and of both Wnt-receptor binding and the downstream, sometimes even conflicting inputs, all of which are integrated to intracellular response. elicit the appropriate cell behavior in response. As such, the different signaling pathways might thus be more intimately Introduction intertwined than previously envisioned. -

Wnt signaling pathways participate in regulating numerous homeostatic and developmental processes in animals. However, the function of Wnt10b in fatty acid synthesis remains unclear in fish species. In the present study, we uncovered the role of the Wnt10b signaling pathway in the regulation of fatty acid synthesis in the muscle of zebrafish. The gene of Wnt10b was overexpressed in the muscle of zebrafish using pEGFP-N1-Wnt10b vector injection, which significantly decreased the expression of glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β), but increased the expression of β-catenin, peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein α (C/EBPα). -
