Synergistic Effects of Combined Wnt/KRAS Inhibition in Colorectal Cancer Cells
5 Dec 2012
Abstract excerpt
Activation of Wnt signalling due to inability to degrade β-catenin is found in >85% of colorectal cancers. Approximately half of colon cancers express a constitutively active KRAS protein. A significant fraction of patients show both abnormalities. We previously reported that simultaneous down-regulation of both β-catenin and KRAS was necessary to induce significant cell death and tumor growth inhibition of...
