靶向β-catenin/TCF4相互作用抑制剂在肿瘤分子治疗中的研究进展

Recent advances in novel anticancer agents targeting β-catenin/TCF4 interaction for molecular cancer therapeutics

  • 摘要: 经典Wnt信号通路的异常活化与恶性肿瘤的发生与发展密切相关,β-catenin/TCF4(T-cell factor 4)相互作用作为Wnt信号通路中的“分子开关”,促进了肿瘤的转移与复发,被认为是广谱高选择性抗肿瘤药物开发的理想靶标之一。目前,PKF222-815、iCRT3/5/14、LF3和血根碱等靶向β-catenin/TCF4相互作用的抑制剂已在结直肠癌和肝癌等肿瘤的实验治疗中展现出良好的应用前景。本文将对β-catenin分子结构、生物学功能及β-catenin/TCF4相互作用抑制剂的研究进展进行综述和展望,以期为新型高选择性Wnt抑制剂的筛选与发现提供有益的借鉴和参考。

     

    Abstract: Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway plays an important role in the proliferation, growth, invasion, and metastasis of human cancers. Moreover, β-catenin/T-cell factor 4 (TCF4) interaction regulates the transcription of the key oncogenes in Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Therefore, β-catenin/TCF4 interaction would be a promising therapeutic target for the development of highly selective anticancer agents. At present, most ongoing small-molecule inhibitors targeting β-catenin/TCF4 interaction, including PKF222-815, iCRT3/5/14, LF3, and sanguinarine, have been developed in preclinical studies for human cancer therapeutics. In this review, we summarized the research advances of up-to date inhibitors targeting β-catenin/TCF4 interaction, including the molecular structure and cellular functions of β-catenin in canonical Wnt signaling pathway. This review holds a hopeful avenue for the development of novel and highly selective Wnt inhibitors targeting β-catenin/TCF4 interaction for future anticancer strategy.
