Abstract Title:
Anti-proliferative activity of hydnocarpin, a natural lignan, is associated with the suppression of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in colon cancer cells.
Abstract:
Based on the Wnt inhibitors as potential targets in the development of anticancer agents, natural compounds were evaluated forβ-catenin-mediated transcriptional activity. A natural lignan hydnocarpin isolated from Lonicera japonica was considered a potential inhibitor for Wnt/β-catenin signalings. The anti-proliferative activity of hydnocarpin was also found to be associated with the suppression of Wnt/β-catenin-mediated signaling pathway in human colon cancer cells. These data suggest that hydnocarpin might be a novel Wnt inhibitor and has a potential of signaling regulator in β-catenin-mediated signaling pathways.
