The Canonical Wnt Signaling (Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway): A Potential Target for Cancer Prevention and Therapy
Precise regulation of signal transduction pathways is crucial for normal animal development and for maintaining cellular and tissue homeostasis in adults. The Wnt/Frizzled-mediated signaling includes canonical and non-canonical signal transduction pathways. Upregulation or downregulation of the canonical Wnt-signaling (or the Wnt/β-Catenin signal transduction) leads to a variety of human diseas...
متن کاملAlterations in gene expression and signal transductions in human melanocytes and melanoma cells.
The development of techniques to cultivate human primary melanocytes in vitro has provided the technical foundation for understanding the biology of this cell. Human melanocytes require various growth factors and agents for proliferation in vitro. These compounds activate two major signal transduction pathways: a calcium- and phospholipid-dependent (protein kinase C or PKC) pathway and a cyclic...
متن کاملThe Role of miRNA Dysregulation in Thyroid Cancer Development by Targeting the Main Signaling Pathways
Thyroid cancer is one of the most common malignancies of endocrine glands, causing carcinomas, such as papillary, follicular, medullary, and anaplastic thyroid carcinomas. Due to the significance of thyroid carcinomas, identification of the main signaling pathways and the affecting mutations has been considered by researchers. Further studies on the dysregulation of oncogenes in signaling path...
متن کاملReduction in Smad2/3 signaling enhances tumorigenesis but suppresses metastasis of breast cancer cell lines.
The role of transforming growth factor beta in breast cancer is controversial with tumor suppressor and pro-oncogenic activities having been demonstrated. To address whether the same or different signal transduction pathways mediate these opposing activities, we manipulated the Smad2/3 signaling pathway in cells of common origin but differing degrees of malignancy derived from MCF10A human brea...
