Role of Wnt signaling pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma / 医学研究生学报

ABSTRACT

Wnt proteins,its receptors and regulators compose complex signaling pathways which are closely related to embryonic development,cell proliferation and differentiation,as well as tumour generation.In recent years,the involvement of Wnt signaling pathways in hepatocarcinogenesis has drawn the attention of international medical circles and been studied intensively.In this review,we summaries the interaction between Wnt signaling pathways and its regulators,the relationship between Wnt signaling pathways and cancerogenesis,angiogenesis,invasion and metabasis in hepatocellular carcinoma.
