摘要: Abstract Mutation of the adenomatous polyposis coli ( APC ) tumor suppressor gene initiates majority colorectal (CR) cancers. One consequence this inactivation is constitutive activation β-catenin/Tcf-mediated transcription. To further explore role APC/β-catenin/Tcf pathway in CR tumorigenesis, we searched for mutations genes implicated tumors lacking mutations. No γ-catenin CTNNG1 ), GSK-3α GSK3A or GSK-3β GSK3B were detected. In contrast, NH 2 -terminal regulatory domain β-catenin CTNNB1 found 13 27 (48%) Mutations and observed to be mutually exclusive, consistent with their equivalent effects on stability Tcf transactivation. addition, that can occur early, stage neoplasia, as has been previously These results suggest uniquely substitute signaling plays a critical tumorigenesis.
