Wnt signaling is a highly conserved signaling pathway that plays a critical role in controlling embryonic and organ development, as well as cancer progression. Genome-wide sequencing and gene expression profile analyses have demonstrated that Wnt signaling is involved mainly in the processes of breast cancer proliferation and metastasis. The most recent studies have indicated that Wnt signaling is also crucial in breast cancer immune microenvironment regulation, stemness maintenance, therapeutic resistance, phenotype shaping, etc. Wnt/β-Catenin, Wnt-planar cell polarity (PCP), and Wnt-Ca signaling are three well-established Wnt signaling pathways that share overlapping components and play different roles in breast cancer progression. In this review, we summarize the main findings concerning the relationship between Wnt signaling and breast cancer and provide an overview of existing mechanisms, challenges, and potential opportunities for advancing the therapy and diagnosis of breast cancer.
Wnt 信号通路是一种高度保守的信号通路,在控制胚胎和器官发育以及癌症进展方面起着关键作用。全基因组测序和基因表达谱分析表明,Wnt 信号通路主要参与乳腺癌的增殖和转移过程。最近的研究表明,Wnt 信号通路在乳腺癌免疫微环境调控、干性维持、治疗耐药性、表型形成等方面也至关重要。Wnt/β-连环蛋白、Wnt-平面细胞极性(PCP)和 Wnt-Ca 信号通路是三种已确立的 Wnt 信号通路,它们共享重叠的成分,并在乳腺癌进展中发挥不同的作用。在这篇综述中,我们总结了 Wnt 信号通路与乳腺癌之间关系的主要发现,并概述了现有的机制、挑战和潜在的机会,以推进乳腺癌的治疗和诊断。
