A CRISPR screen reveals a WNT7B-FZD5 signaling circuit as a therapeutic opportunity in pancreatic cancer

Abstract excerpt
<h4>Abstract:</h4> CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing enables high-resolution detection of genetic vulnerabilities of cancer cells. We conducted a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screen in RNF43 mutant pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells, which rely on Wnt signaling for proliferation, and discovered a unique requirement for a WNT7B-FZD5 signaling circuit. Our results highlight an underappreciated level of functional s...
