Novel Small Molecules against Two Binding Sites of Wnt2 Protein as potential Drug Candidates for Colorectal Cancer: A Structure Based Virtual Screening Approach
Wnts are the major ligands responsible for activating Wnt signaling pathway through binding to Frizzled proteins (Fzd) as the receptors. Among these ligands, Wnt2 plays the main role in the tumorigenesis of several human cancers especially colorectal cancer (CRC). Therefore, it can be considered as a potential drug target.The aim of this study was to identify potential drug candidates ...
متن کاملDysregulation of the WNT Signaling Pathway Through Methylation of Wnt Inhibitory Factor 1 and Dickkopf-1 Genes among AML Patients at the Time of Diagnosis
Background: In acute myeloblastic leukemia, a large number of tumor suppressor genes are silenced through DNA methylation such as CDKN2B & p73. Wnt inhibitory factor 1 (WIF1) and Dickkopf-3 (DKK-1) are negative regulators of Wnt signaling pathway. In the present study, we evaluated the methylation status of WIF1 and DKK-1 genes in acute myeloblastic leukemia patients. Patients and Methods: ...

متن کاملAngiopoietin-like protein 8 (betatrophin) may inhibit hepatocellular carcinoma through suppressing of the Wnt signaling pathway
Objective(s): Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading fatal neoplasms and the most common primary liver malignancy worldwide. Peptide hormone ANGPTL8 (betatrophin) may act as an important regulator in HCC development through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. We aimed to evaluate the effects of recombinant ANGPTL8 on Wnt/β-catenin signaling in human liver carcinom...
متن کاملInteraction of viral oncogenic proteins with the Wnt signaling pathway
It is estimated that up to 20% of all types of human cancers worldwide are attributed to viruses. The genome of oncogenic viruses carries genes that have protein products that act as oncoproteins in cell proliferation and transformation. The modulation of cell cycle control mechanisms, cellular regulatory and signaling pathways by oncogenic viruses, plays an important role in viral carcinogenes...
