Abstract excerpt
Activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling is frequent in human and rodent hepatocarcinogenesis. Although in mice the tumor-promoting activity of agonists of constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) occurs by selection of carcinogen-initiated cells harboring β-catenin mutations, the molecular alterations leading to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development by the CAR agonist 1,4-bis[2-(3,5-dichloropyridyloxy)]benzene...
