Abstract
Loss of the APC (adenomatous polyposis coli) gene in colorectal cancer leads to a rapid deregulation of TCF/LEF target genes. Of all these target genes, the transcription factor c-MYC appears the most critical. In this review we will discuss the interplay of Wnt and c-MYC signaling during intestinal homeostasis and transformation. Furthermore, we will discuss recent data showing that further deregulation of c-MYC levels during colorectal carcinogenesis may drive tumor progression. Moreover, understanding these additional control mechanisms may allow targeting of c-MYC during colorectal carcinogenesis. Copyright ÂEntities:
