WNT/β-catenin signaling orchestrates various physiological processes, including embryonic development, growth, tissue homeostasis, and regeneration. Abnormal WNT/β-catenin signaling is associated with various cancers and its inhibition has shown effective antitumor responses. In this review, we discuss the pathway, potential targets for the development of WNT/β-catenin inhibitors, available inhibitors, and their specific molecular interactions with the target proteins. We also discuss inhibitors that are in clinical trials and describe potential new avenues for therapeutically targeting the WNT/β-catenin pathway. Furthermore, we introduce emerging strategies, including artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted tools and technology-based actionable approaches, to translate WNT/β-catenin inhibitors to the clinic for cancer therapy.
WNT/β-catenin 信号通路调控着各种生理过程,包括胚胎发育、生长、组织稳态和再生。异常的 WNT/β-catenin 信号通路与各种癌症有关,其抑制已显示出有效的抗肿瘤反应。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了该通路、WNT/β-catenin 抑制剂开发的潜在靶点、现有的抑制剂以及它们与靶蛋白的特定分子相互作用。我们还讨论了处于临床试验阶段的抑制剂,并描述了针对 WNT/β-catenin 通路进行治疗性靶向的潜在新途径。此外,我们介绍了新兴的策略,包括人工智能(AI)辅助工具和基于技术的可操作方法,以将 WNT/β-catenin 抑制剂转化为癌症治疗的临床应用。
