TL;DR

It is demonstrated that activation of β-catenin is associated with a poor prognosis in melanoma and inhibiting the enzymatic activity of MICAL2 offers a promising and innovative strategy to improve outcomes in β-catenin-driven melanoma.

PRDX1 drives colorectal cancer progression and immune microenvironment remodeling by facilitating PRMT5 nuclear translocation to activate Wnt/β-catenin signaling.

Findings identify a novel PRDX1-PRMT5 axis that activates Wnt/β-catenin signaling, highlighting a potential therapeutic strategy for CRC by targeting this pathway to suppress tumor progression and remodel the immune microenvironment.

Therapeutic targeting of β-catenin in cancer.

Effective targeting of β-catenin has the potential to address extensive unmet patient needs in hard-to-treat cancer types such as colorectal cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma as well as other cancers driven by WNT/β-catenin pathway alterations.

The multifaceted role of SOCS3 in colorectal cancer: molecular mechanisms and clinical implications

Clinically, reduced SOCS3 expression has been associated with lymph node metastasis, advanced TNM stage, and poorer prognosis, whereas higher SOCS3 levels may correlate with improved outcomes and chemosensitivity, and further translational studies are needed to validate SOCS3 as a biomarker and therapeutic target in CR...

CAF-derived TGF-β1 activates an LBH-mediated β-catenin stabilization program to drive gastric cancer progression

It is shown that the transcriptional cofactor LBH drives mutation-independent Wnt activation and malignant progression in GC via a tumour microenvironment-regulated post-translational stabilization mechanism, elucidate a critical tumour–stroma crosstalk mechanism and establish the targeted disruption of the LBH–β-caten...
