  • Blockade of Wnt-1 signaling leads to anti-tumor effects in hepatocellular carcinoma cells.

    Wei W, Chua MS, Grepper S, So SK. Mol Cancer. 2009: 8 76

    Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an aggressive cancer, and is the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Standard therapy is ineffective partly because HCC is intrinsically resistant to conventional chemotherapy. Its poor prognosis and limited treatment options make it critical to develop novel and selective chemotherapeutic agents. Since the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway is essential in HCC carcinogenesis, we studied the inhibition of Wnt-1-mediated signaling as a potential molecular target in HCC.
