The WNT5A pathway, a member of the Wnt signaling pathway, is crucial in cancer. It activates non-canonical Wnt signaling pathways by binding to Frizzled (FZD) and Receptor Tyrosine Kinase-Like Orphan Receptor (ROR) family members. WNT5A pathway is involved in various cellular processes and its abnormal activation or inhibition in colorectal cancer (CRC) can have both oncogenic and antitumor effects. WNT5A is also associated with inflammation, metastasis, and altered metabolism in cancer cells.
The Wnt signaling pathway is known to play a crucial role in cancer, and WNT5A is a member of this pathway that binds to the Frizzled (FZD) and Receptor Tyrosine Kinase-Like Orphan Receptor (ROR) family members to activate non-canonical Wnt signaling pathways. The WNT5A pathway is involved in various cellular processes, such as proliferation, differentiation, migration, adhesion, and polarization. In the case of colorectal cancer (CRC), abnormal activation or inhibition of WNT5A signaling can lead to both oncogenic and antitumor effects. Moreover, WNT5A is associated with inflammation, metastasis, and altered metabolism in cancer cells. This article aims to discuss the molecular mechanisms and dual roles of WNT5A in CRC.
