APC and malignant colon neoplasm: Although downregulation of tumour suppressors is a common mechanism during cancer progression, activation of Wnt signaling via the suppression of repressors observed in our breast cancer cells differs from the mechanism discovered for colon cancer, where Wnt pathway activation occurs through loss-of-function mutations of negative pathway components e.g. adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) or gain-of-function mutations in genes activating Wnt signaling (i.e. β-catenin) [38].
