APC coordinates GSK3 phosphorylation of SETD8 to suppress colorectal cancer [PDF]
Summary: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second-leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Mutations in the tumor-suppressor APC initiate CRC in part by preventing the glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) kinase from phosphorylating β-CATENIN, leading to its ...

The adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene is the chromatin-remodeling-related gene and a typical tumor suppressor. Patients with a high expression of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) or a high level of tumor mutational burden (TMB) may benefit from ...

Prediction and testing of biological networks underlying intestinal cancer. [PDF]
Colorectal cancer progresses through an accumulation of somatic mutations, some of which reside in so-called "driver" genes that provide a growth advantage to the tumor.

Tissue-Specific Effects of Reduced β-catenin Expression on Adenomatous Polyposis Coli Mutation-Instigated Tumorigenesis in Mouse Colon and Ovarian Epithelium. [PDF]
Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) inactivating mutations are present in most human colorectal cancers and some other cancers. The APC protein regulates the β-catenin protein pool that functions as a co-activator of T cell factor (TCF)-regulated ...

Meningiomas exhibit loss of heterozygosity of the APC gene [PDF]
The molecular mechanisms and candidate genes involved in development of meningiomas still need investigation and elucidation. In the present study 33 meningiomas were analyzed regarding genetic changes of tumor suppressor gene Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), a component of the wnt signaling.

Vitamin D receptor deficiency enhances Wnt/β-catenin signaling and tumor burden in colon cancer. [PDF]
Aberrant activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway is critical for the initiation and progression of most colon cancers. This activation provokes the accumulation of nuclear β-catenin and the induction of its target genes.

Somatic mutations of the APC gene in colorectal tumors: mutation cluster region in the APC gene [PDF]
We examined somatic mutations of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene in 63 colorectal tumors (16 adenomas and 47 carcinomas) developed in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and non-FAP patients. In addition to loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the APC locus in 30 tumors, 43 other somatic mutations were detected.

CD24 and APC Genetic Polymorphisms in Pancreatic Cancers as Potential Biomarkers for Clinical Outcome. [PDF]
There are no validated biomarkers that correlate with the prognosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). The CD24 and adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) genes are important in the malignant transformation of gastrointestinal cells.

Genomic alterations in the WNT/β-catenin pathway and resistance of colorectal cancer cells to pathway-targeting therapies [PDF]
Aim: Colorectal cancer is the most prevalent gastrointestinal malignancy with limited therapeutic options in the metastatic setting. The WNT/β-catenin/adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) pathway is commonly deregulated in the disease and presents a rational
