Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway has a close relationship with cancer and is abnormally activated in many human cancers. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide, but the molecular mechanisms of HCC are still poorly understood. Current studies indicate that Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway plays a key role in the development and progression of HCC. Validating the role and mechanism of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in HCC will provide a theoretical basis for early diagnosis and treatment of HCC. In this review, we summarize the role of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in HCC and the progress of current researches.
Wnt/β-连环蛋白信号通路与癌症密切相关,在许多人类癌症中异常激活。肝细胞癌(HCC)是全球癌症相关死亡的第三大常见原因,但HCC的分子机制仍知之甚少。目前的研究表明,Wnt/β-连环蛋白信号通路在HCC的发生和发展中起关键作用。验证Wnt/β-连环蛋白信号通路在HCC中的作用和机制将为HCC的早期诊断和治疗提供理论依据。在这篇综述中,我们总结了Wnt/β-连环蛋白信号通路在HCC中的作用以及当前研究的进展。
