A Wnt–Axin2–GSK3β cascade regulates Snail1 activity in breast cancer cells

Abstract: Accumulating evidence indicates that hyperactive Wnt signalling occurs in association with the development and progression of human breast cancer. As a consequence of engaging the canonical Wnt pathway, a beta-catenin-T-cell factor (TCF) transcriptional complex is generated, which has been postulated to trigger the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) that characterizes the tissue-invasive phenotype. However, the molecular mechanisms by which the beta-catenin-TCF complex induces EMT-like programmes remain u… Show more

“…Tumor invasion and EMT are associated with Wnt activation by regulating the b-catenin/E-cadherin complex (Nelson and Nusse, 2004). Moreover, the b-catenin/TCF complex that is induced by the canonical Wnt pathway enhanced the Axin2-dependent pathway and increased stabilization of Snail, a critical regulator of EMT (Yook et al, 2006). Id-1 is also involved in tumor angiogenesis and invasion/ metastasis (Ling et al, 2006).…”

“…Given the multiplicity of cytokines, growth factors, matrix degradation products, and lipid mediators found within the proinflammatory environment that characterizes RA (1-4), it will likely prove difficult to identify a dominant MT1-MMP regulator (50). Indeed less "classical" inflammatory mediators such as hypoxia, HIF-2b, Wnt family members, or epigenetic changes in DNA methylation may well serve as dominant players in the control of MT1-MMP expression or activity in RA (64)(65)(66)(67)(68)(69). Nevertheless, given the expression of MT1-MMP within RA synoviocytes at sites of tissue damage in vivo, its pathophysiologically relevant functional properties, and the recent development of MT1-MMP-specific inhibitors (70), the proteinase could serve as an important target for therapeutic intervention.…”

“…Activation of Wnt/b-catenin signaling in cancer often drives a transcriptional program such as transcriptional repressor of Ecadherin, Snail that is reminiscent of an EMT, which can promote cell migration and invasiveness (5). The dysregulation of the Wnt/b-catenin pathway has been observed in various forms of cancer.…”
