It was found that transcriptional knockdown of LRP6 in human triple negative breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells significantly decreased Wnt/β-catenin signaling, cell proliferation, and tumor growth in vivo [13], and that blocking Wnt/β-catenin signaling by N-myc downstream regulated gene-1 (NDRG1), a tumor metastasis suppressor which interacts with LRP6 and represses Wnt/β-catenin signaling, led to drastic suppression of metastatic phenotypes of mammary tumor cells in vitro and in vivo[33]. The gene discussed is NDRG1; the disease is neoplasm.
