Covering: up to 2015 The Wnt signalling pathway is essential in many biological processes. The Wnt signal is associated with several diseases, particularly cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Recently, high-throughput screening systems have been developed to rapidly identify compounds, including natural compounds, that target the Wnt signal. Some studies on natural modulators of the Wnt signal have also suggested their possible target. This review highlights some important natural compounds reported to regulate Wnt activity and describes their possible mechanism of action.

In women globally, breast cancer ranks as the second most frequent cause of cancer-related deaths, making up about 25% of female cancer cases, which is pretty standard in affluent countries. Breast cancer is divided into subtypes based on aggressive, genetic and stage. The precise cause of the problem is still unknown.

Cancer manifests as uncontrolled cell proliferation. Tankyrase, a poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase member, is vital in Wnt signal transmission, making it a promising cancer therapy target. The Wnt/β-catenin pathway regulates critical biological processes like genomic stability, gene expression, energy utilization, and apoptosis.

Objectives: SOX10 is crucially implicated in various cancer, yet the regulatory role in pancreatic cancer (PC) remains enigmatic. Underlying molecular mechanisms of SOX10 in PC were explored in our study.
Methods: Relationships between SOX10 and immune landscape were estimated using bioinformatic approaches.

Genome-wide association studies have identified approximately 200 genetic risk loci for breast cancer, but the causal variants and target genes are mostly unknown. We sought to fine-map all known breast cancer risk loci using genome-wide association study data from 172,737 female breast cancer cases and 242,009 controls of African, Asian and European ancestry. We identified 332 independent association signals for breast cancer risk, including 131 signals not reported previously, and for 50 of them, we narrowed the credible causal variants down to a single variant.

WNT/β-catenin signaling plays key roles in development and cancer. ZNRF3/RNF43 modulates Frizzleds through ubiquitination, dampening WNT/β-catenin signaling. Conversely, RSPO1-4 binding to LGR4-6 and ZNRF3/RNF43 enhances WNT/β-catenin signaling.
