Research progress on role of Wnt signaling pathway in regulation of tumors / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

Wnt signaling pathway is a highly conservative signal pathway controlling cell growth,differentiation,apoptosis and self-renewal.This signal pathway is often abnormally activated in tumor development and progression,which can cooperate or antagonize with other signal pathways to regulate tumor prolifera-tion,migration and invasion.This paper makes a review of the recent research of Wnt signaling pathway progression and its function in tumor growth regulation.
