Abstract

Frizzled-8 receptor is activated by the Wnt-2 ligand in non-small cell lung cancer.

BMC cancer, 2013; PubMed, Homo sapiens WNT2 — Mus Musculus Fzd8
ABSTRACT: Wnt-2 plays an oncogenic role in cancer, but which Frizzled receptor(s) mediates the Wnt-2 signaling pathway in lung cancer remains unclear. We sought to (1) identify and evaluate the activation of Wnt-2 signaling through Frizzled-8 in non-small cell lung cancer, and (2) test whether a novel expression construct dominant negative Wnt-2 (dnhWnt-2) reduces tumor growth in a colony formation assay and in a xenograft mouse model.
