Since the recognition that mutations in components of the Wnt-β-catenin pathway underlie some human cancers, considerable attention has been dedicated to developing therapeutic modalities to block its activity. Despite numerous efforts, no drug directly inhibiting Wnt signaling is currently clinically available. Conversely, activating the Wnt pathway in a specific manner has recently been made possible with new molecules mimicking the activity of Wnt proteins, thus offering new possibilities for controlling tissue stem cell activity and for the rational treatment of various degenerative conditions. We describe the landscape of antibody modalities that modulate the Wnt-β-catenin pathway, and detail the advances and challenges in both cancer and regenerative medicine drug development.
自从发现 Wnt-β-catenin 通路成分的突变是某些人类癌症的基础以来,人们一直致力于开发阻断其活性的治疗方法。尽管做了很多努力,但目前临床上还没有直接抑制 Wnt 信号的药物。相反,最近通过模拟 Wnt 蛋白活性的新分子,以特定方式激活 Wnt 通路成为可能,从而为控制组织干细胞活性和合理治疗各种退行性疾病提供了新的可能性。我们描述了调节 Wnt-β-catenin 通路的抗体方式的概况,并详细介绍了癌症和再生医学药物开发中的进展和挑战。
