Dickkopf-1 and tumor / 国际肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

Dickkopf-1 (DKK-1) plays an important role in the initiation and progression of many human cancers. It can induce apoptosis of a wide variety of tumor cells in vivo through both the canonical Wnt/β-catenin signal transduction pathway and the non-canonical Wnt signal transduction pathway. In addition, DKK-1 can modulate bone metastasis and promote the invasion and infiltration of some tumor cells.
