ABSTRACT

WNT signaling regulates osteosarcoma proliferation. However, there is controversy in the field of osteosarcoma as to whether WNT signaling is pro- or anti-tumorigenic. WNT-targeting therapeutics, both activators and inhibitors, are compared. WNT5B, a β-catenin-independent ligand, and WNT10B, a β-catenin-dependent WNT ligand, are each expressed in osteosarcomas, but they are not expressed in the same tumors. Furthermore, WNT10B and WNT5B regulate different histological subtypes of osteosarcomas. Using WNT signaling modulators as therapeutics may depend on the WNT ligand and/or the activated signaling pathway.
