Application
PNU-74654 has been used:
- as a β-catenin signaling inhibitor to study its effects on the funnel cartilage differentiation in Sepia sp. embryos
- as a Wnt signaling inhibitor to study its effects on glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β) inhibition in prostate cancer cell lines
- as a Wnt signaling inhibitor to study its effects on leptin-induced cell proliferation in breast cancer cells
Biochem/physiol Actions
PNU-74654 inhibits the Wnt-β catenin pathway by blocking the interaction between β-catenin and TCF (T cell factor). PNU-74654 is also an anti-tumor agent. Aberrant activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway (canonical pathway) is implicated in driving development/progression of different tumors, such as colon cancer, through interaction between β-catenin and T cell factor (TCF), which regulates the expression of target genes in cell proliferation and differentiation. Inhibition of this pathway activity in cancer cell lines efficiently blocks their growth. PNU-74654 inhibits this pathway by blocking the interaction between β-catenin and TCF.
