Abstract
Extensive data have shown that Wnt/beta-catenin signaling is associated with various disease pathologies, including an important role in tumorigenesis. Here, we review the regulation of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling in glioma, with particular focus on the expression signatures of the main components in Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, the role of key factors in Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, and crosstalk with other signaling pathways. Finally, we discuss the involvement of microRNAs in Wnt/beta-catenin signaling in glioma. This review reveals new insights into the role of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling in gliomagenesis, and highlights new therapeutic approaches for glioma, based on the modulation of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway.Entities:
