RNF43 truncating mutations mediate a tumour suppressor-to-oncogene switch to drive niche-independent self-renewal in cancer
2019-09-01
Abstract excerpt
Wnt/β-catenin signalling is a primary pathway for stem cell maintenance during tissue renewal and a frequent target for mutations in cancer. Impaired Wnt receptor endocytosis due to loss of the ubiquitin ligase RNF43 gives rise to Wnt-hypersensitive tumours that are susceptible to anti-Wnt-based therapy. Contrary to this paradigm, we identify a class of RNF43 truncating cancer mutations that strongly induce β-cate...
