Relation Of The Wnt/Β-Catenin Signaling Pathway With Gynecological Cancers, Hani̇fe Güler Tanir, Şayeste Demi̇rezen, Mehmet Si̇nan Beksaç

Turkish Journal of Biology

The Wnt signaling pathway is evolutionary conserved and controls many biological processes like cell proliferation and differentiation. It also provides planar polarity, regulation of the cell cycle, and cell adhesion during both the embryonic and adult period. However, it has been widely considered in the literature that some pathological alterations in various biomolecules involved in this pathway, and aberrant activation of signaling have important roles primarily in the genesis of colorectal and cervical cancer and several other serious diseases. The Wnt signaling pathway diversifies into 3 types: Wnt\beta-catenin signaling pathway, planar cell polarity pathway, and Wnt/calcium (Ca^{+2}) pathway. Only the …
