The study identified smoking-related epigenetic modifications in bladder cancer and constructed a corresponding prognostic model, which was linked to different sensitivities to chemotherapeutics. [Read the Full Post]

ETC-159, an Upstream Wnt inhibitor, Induces Tumour Necrosis via Modulation of Angiogenesis in Osteosarcoma

75 views | May 09 2023

ETC-159, a PORCN inhibitor, has shown potential as a treatment for osteosarcomas by inhibiting the Wnt pathway and leading to increased tumour necrosis and reduced vascularity, providing a new window of vulnerability for therapy development. [Read the Full Post]

MicroRNA-26b regulates BMSC osteogenic differentiation of TMJ subchondral bone through β-catenin in osteoarthritis

65 views | Jul 10 2022

Jinlu Yang et al. thought that miR-26b might modulate subchondral bone loss induced by abnormal occlusion and influence the osteogenic differentiation of subchondral BMSCs through β-catenin in the context of TMJ-OA progression. [Read the Full Post]

RNF43 R117fs mutant positively regulates Wnt/β-catenin signaling by failing to internalize FZD expressed on the cell surface

119 views | Jun 07 2022

A-Ri Cho et al. demonstrated that RNF43 frameshift mutations retained normal functionality; thus, targeted anti-cancer therapy could be developed according to the mutation type of RNF43. [Read the Full Post]

Wnt-C59 inhibits proinflammatory cytokine expression by reducing the interaction between β-catenin and NF-κB in LPS-stimulated epithelial and macrophage cells

796 views | Aug 17 2021

Jaewoong Jang et al. suggested that the anti-inflammatory effect of Wnt-C59 was mediated by the reduction of the cellular level of β-catenin and the interaction between β-catenin and NF-κB. [Read the Full Post]

Wnt-Signaling Inhibitor Wnt-C59 Suppresses the Cytokine Upregulation in Multiple Organs of Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Endotoxemic Mice via Reducing the Interaction between β-Catenin and NF-κB
