摘要
Like Dickkopf-1 (DKK1), DKK4 is a target of beta-catenin/Tcf-4 in colorectal cancer. However, as a negative regulator of Wnt signalling its function in colorectal cancer cells is not well understood. We report that DKK4 is frequently down-regulated in colorectal cancer cell lines with deregulated beta-catenin/Tcf-4 and in primary colorectal cancers. Exposure of cancer cells to DKK4 strongly inhibits basal beta-catenin/Tcf-4 signalling activity, cancer cell growth and cell cycle progression. Therefore, loss of this negative feed-back loop provides Wnt factor expressing cancer cells with a growth advantage. Our data demonstrate that DKK4 is an important negative regulator of colon cancer cell growth. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
