The Wnt inhibitor LGK-974 enhances radiosensitivity of HepG2 cells by modulating Nrf2 signaling
5 views | Aug 11 2019
Tian D et al. found that HepG2 cells became more sensitive to radiation with increasing LGK-974 concentrations. Upon 2 Gy or 4 Gy irradiation, the cells treated with LGK-974 more frequently underwent apoptosis and grew less rapidly. PCR and western blot results showed that inhibiting the secretion of Wnt3A blocked the Wnt signaling pathway and prevented Nrf2 signaling. Notably, the Wnt inhibitor may serve as a radiosensitizing drug. [Read the Full Post]
Safety, Tolerability, and Preliminary Efficacy of the Anti-Fibrotic Small Molecule PRI-724, a CBP/β-Catenin Inhibitor, in Patients with Hepatitis C Virus-related Cirrhosis: A Single-Center, Open-Label, Dose Escalation Phase 1 Trial
17 views | Jun 19 2019
Kimura K et al. showed that administration of 10 or 40mg/m2/day intravenous PRI-724 over 12weeks was well-tolerated by patients with HCV cirrhosis; however, liver injury as a possible related serious adverse event was observed in the 160mg/m2/day cohort. [Read the Full Post]
ICG-001 suppresses growth of gastric cancer cells and reduces chemoresistance of cancer stem cell-like population
73 views | Apr 10 2019
Liu Y et al. suggested that ICG-001 suppresses GC cell line growth, metastasis and reduces its stem cell-like properties and chemoresistance, indicating that ICG-001 is a potentially useful small molecule therapeutic for GC. [Read the Full Post]
IWR-1 Inhibits Collagen-Induced Platelet Activation and Protects against Thrombogenesis
93 views | Mar 12 2019
Wang W et al. demonstrated that IWR-1 could effectively block collagen-induced platelet activity in vitro and in vivo, and suggest its candidacy as a new antiplatelet agent. [Read the Full Post]
UBE2S mediates tumor progression via SOX6/β-Catenin signaling in endometrial cancer
275 views | Mar 03 2019
Lin M et al. suggested UBE2S may serve as a promising prognostic factor and function as an oncogene in EMC. The newly identified UBE2S/SOX6/β-Catenin axis represents a new potential therapeutic target for EMC intervention. [Read the Full Post]
Potent in vivo lung cancer Wnt signaling inhibition via cyclodextrin-LGK974 inclusion complexes
121 views | Feb 21 2019
Guimaraes PPG et al. indicated the development of these complexes enables safer and repeated oral or parenteral administration of Wnt signaling inhibitors, which hold promise for the treatment of multiple types of malignancies. [Read the Full Post]
WNT5A: a motility-promoting factor in Hodgkin lymphoma
189 views | Dec 22 2018
Linke F et al. proposed a model where WNT signaling has an important role in regulating tumor-promoting processes. [Read the Full Post]
FAM83A is amplified and promotes cancer stem cell-like traits and chemoresistance in pancreatic cancer
257 views | Dec 15 2018
Chen S et al. indicated that FAM83A has a vital oncogenic role to promote pancreatic cancer progression and may represent a potential clinical target. [Read the Full Post]
Cancer stem cell marker phenotypes are reversible and functionally homogeneous in a preclinical model of pancreatic cancer
0 views | Nov 27 2018
Dosch JS et al. showed that the hierarchical organization of CSCs in human disease is not recapitulated in a commonly used mouse model of pancreatic cancer and therefore provide a new view of the phenotypic and functional heterogeneity of tumor cells. [Read the Full Post]
Activation of Wnt/β-catenin signalling is required for TGF-β/Smad2/3 signalling during myofibroblast proliferation
251 views | Oct 12 2018
Xu L et al. found that a major outcome of this study is improved insight into the mechanisms by which epithelial and mesenchymal cells activated by TGFβ1-smad2/3 signalling through Wnt/β-catenin contribute to lung fibrosis. [Read the Full Post]
