BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Cancer is the leading cause of death i n developed countries and the second leading cause of death i n developing countries. Deaths from cancer worldwide are projected t o continue rising, with an estimated 12 million deaths in 2030. While substantial progress has been made i n developing effective therapies, there is a need for additional therapeutic modalities that target cancer and related diseases. The complexity of cancer disease arises after a selection process for cells with acquired functional capabilities t o enhance survival and/or resistance towards apoptosis and a limitless proliferative potential. In addition , bi-direction interaction of cancer cells and stromal cells provides further advantage of cancer cell survival and distant metastasis t o the secondary organs and tissues [Liotta LA, ohn EC. The microenvironmen t of the tumour- host interface. Nature 2001 , 4 11:375]. Furthermore, cancer stem cells (CSCs) represent the apex i n the hierarchical model of tumor genesis, heterogeneity and metastasis. CSCs possess the capacity for unlimited self-renewal, the ability to give rise to progeny cells, and also an innate resistance t o cytotoxic therapeutics [Meacham CE and Morrison SJ. Tumour heterogeneity and cancer cell plasticity. Nature 2013 , 501 :328]. Thus, there is need to develop drugs for cancer therapy addressing distinct features of established tumors. The discovery that Drosophila segment polarity gene Wingless had a common origin with the murine oncogene lnt- 1 led t o intensive studies on Wnt signaling pathway and identification of 19 mammalian Wnts and 10 Wnt receptors [Rijsewijk F, Schuermann M, Wagenaar E, Parren P, Weigel D, Nusse R. The Drosophila homolog of the mouse mammary oncogene int- 1 is identical to the segment polarity gene wingless. Cell. 1987, 50: 649]. Wnts are secreted glycoproteins which bind t o cell surface receptors t o initiate signaling cascades. Wnt signaling cascades have classified into two categories: canonical and non- canonical, differentiated by their dependence on β-catenin. Non-canonical Wnt pathways, such as the planar cell polarity (PCP) and Ca + pathway, function through β -catenin independent mechanisms. Canonical Wnt signalling is initiated when a Wnt ligand engages co- receptors of the Frizzled (Fzd) and low- density lipoprotein receptor related protein (LRP) families, ultimately leading to β -catenin stabilization, nuclear translocation and activation of target genes [Angers S, Moon RT. Proximal events in Wnt signal transduction. Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol. 2009, 10: 468. Cadigan KM, Liu Yl. Wnt signaling: complexity at the surface. J Cell Sci. 2006, 119: 395. Gordon MD, Nusse R. Wnt signaling: multiple pathways, multiple receptors, and multiple transcription factors. J Biol Chem. 2006, 281 : 22429. Huang H, He X. WntI beta- catenin signaling: new (and old) players and new insights. Curr Opin Cell Biol. 2008, 20: 119. Polakis P. The many ways of Wnt in cancer. Curr Opin Genet Dev. 2007, 17: 45. Rao TP, Kuhl M. An updated overview on Wnt signaling pathways: a prelude for more. Circ Res. 2010, 106: 1798]. In the absence of Wnt stimulus, β -catenin is held i n an inactive state by a multimeric "destruction" complex comprised of adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), Axin , glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK36) and casein kinase 1a (CK1 a). APC and Axin function as a scaffold, permitting GSK36- and CK1 a-mediated phosphorylation of critical residues within β -catenin. These phosphorylation events mark β -catenin for ubiquitination recognition by the E3 ubiquitin ligase β -transducin-repeat-containing protein and lead t o subsequent proteasomal degradation [He X, Semenov M, Tamai K, Zeng X. LDL receptor-related proteins 5 and 6 in Wnt/beta-catenin signaling: arrows point the way. Development. 2004, 13 1: 1663. Kimelman D, Xu W. beta- catenin destruction complex: insights and questions from a structural perspective. Oncogene 2006, 25: 7482] . In the presence of Wnt stimulus, Axin , GSK3B and Dv are recruited t o the co-receptor complex Fzd and LRP5/6 and lead t o disruption of the β -catenin destruction complex. Therefore, β -catenin is stabilized and translocated t o the nucleus. Once in the nucleus, - catenin forms a complex with members of the T-cell factor/lymphoid enhancer factor (TCF/ LEF) family of transcription factors, recruiting co-factors such as CBP, p300, TNIK, Bcl9 and Pygopus, and ultimately driving transcription of target genes including c-myc, 0ct4, cyclin D, survivin. [ Curtin JC and Lorenzi MV. Drug Discovery Approaches to Target Wnt Signaling in Cancer Stem Cells. Oncotarget 2010, 1: 552]. Tankyrases play a key role in the destruction complex by regulating the stability of the rate-limiting AXIN proteins, RNF1 6 and tankyrase itself. The E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF1 6 recognizes tankyrase-mediated PARsylation and eartags AXIN, tankyrase and itself for proteasome-mediated degradation. Thus, tankyrases control the protein stability and turnover of key components of the destruction complex, and consequently the cellular levels of β-catenin [Huang SMA, Mishina YM, Liu S, Cheung A, Stegmeier F, et al. Tankyrase inhibition stabilizes axin and antagonizes Wnt signalling. Nature 2009, 46 1:614, Zhang Y, Liu S, Mickanin C, Feng Y, Charlat 0 , et al. RNF146 is a poly(ADP-ribose)-directed E3 ligase that regulates axin degradation and Wnt signalling. Nature Cell Biology 201 1, 13:623, 201 1]. Aberrant regulation of the Wnt/ B-catenin signaling pathway is a common feature across a broad spectrum of human cancers and evolves as a central mechanism in cancer biology. First of all, Wnt overexpression could lead t o malignant transformation of mouse mammary tissue [Klaus A, BirchmeierW. Wnt signalling and its impact on development and cancer. Nat Rev Cancer 2008, 8: 387] . Second , tumor genome sequencing discovered the mutations in Wnt/ B-catenin pathway components as well as epigenetic mechanisms that altered the expression of genes relevant t o Wnt/ B-catenin pathway [Ying Y.
