HNF4A and colonic neoplasm: FERMT1 activates the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway by reducing the phosphorylation level of β-catenin, enhancing the nuclear translocation of β-catenin and increasing the transcriptional activity of β-catenin/TCF/LEF, thereby promoting the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in colon cancer metastasis (Liu et al. 2017).
