The WNT pathway is a pleiotropic signaling pathway that controls developmental processes, tissue homeostasis, and cancer. The WNT pathway is commonly mutated in many cancers, leading to widespread research into the role of WNT signaling in carcinogenesis. Understanding which cancers are reliant upon WNT activation and which components of the WNT signaling pathway are mutated is paramount to advancing therapeutic strategies. In addition, building holistic insights into the role of WNT signaling in not only tumor cells but also the tumor microenvironment is a vital area of research and may be a promising therapeutic strategy in multiple immunologically inert cancers. Novel compounds aimed at modulating the WNT signaling pathway using diverse mechanisms are currently under investigation in preclinical/early clinical studies. Here, we review how the WNT pathway is activated in multiple cancers and discuss current strategies to target aberrant WNT signaling.
期刊介绍:
The Annual Review of Cancer Biology offers comprehensive reviews on various topics within cancer research, covering pivotal and emerging areas in the field. As our understanding of cancer's fundamental mechanisms deepens and more findings transition into targeted clinical treatments, the journal is structured around three main themes: Cancer Cell Biology, Tumorigenesis and Cancer Progression, and Translational Cancer Science. The current volume of this journal has transitioned from gated to open access through Annual Reviews' Subscribe to Open program, ensuring all articles are published under a CC BY license.
