Consistent with silencing LRP6 or TBL1X, inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin signaling by silencing TCF4 or LEF1, also prevented the expression of Cyclin D1 and c-Myc, the silenced miR-610-induced proliferative rates and the anchorage-independent growth ability (Additional file8: Figure S7C-E), further suggesting that Wnt/β-catenin signaling played important role in the bio-function of miR-610 in HCC cells. The gene discussed is LRP6; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
