Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: WNT signaling plays a key role in maintaining the gastric epithelium and promoting tumorigenesis. However, how gastric tumors achieve WNT niche independence remains unclear, as mutations on APC or CTNNB1-common mechanisms of ligand-independent WNT activation in colorectal cancer-are infrequent in gastric cancer. Understanding how WNT self-sufficiency is acquired in the stomach is therefore critical....
