These interactions represent points of convergence between VDR and canonical Wnt signaling in CRC, which has been linked to inhibition of Wnt signaling, tumor growth inhibition, the activation of apoptotic pathways, inhibition of angiogenesis and inhibition of tumor-promoting inflammation (Deeb et al., 2007; Zheng et al., 2012; Klampfer, 2014). This evidence concerns the gene VDR and colorectal carcinoma.
