Dkk-1 secreted by mesenchymal stem cells inhibits growth of breast cancer cells via depression of Wnt signalling
Abstract
We determined the molecular mechanism of inhibitory effect of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) on the growth of human MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Our finding showed that beta-catenin was down-regulated in MCF-7 cells by conditioned media from Z3 hMSCs, and the expression level of dickkopf-1 (Dkk-1) was higher in Z3 cells than that in MCF-7 cells. Neutralization of Dkk-1 and small interference RNA targeting Dkk-1 mRNA in Z3 cells attenuated the inhibitory effect of Z3 cells on MCF-7 cells. Overexpression of Dkk-1 in Z3 cells enhanced the inhibition. Therefore, Dkk-1 secreted by Z3 cells involves the inhibition via the Wnt pathway.

Disruption of PI3K/AKT via upregulation of PTEN and of WNT/β-catenin signaling by MSC-secreted DKK-1 contributes to inhibition of tumor cell migration, invasion, and survival.
“the disruption of the cancer-associated signaling pathways, such as PI3K/AKT [107], [113], via upregulation of PTEN, and of WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway by MSCs-secreted antagonist of the Wnt signaling DKK-1 [114] contributes to the inhibition of tumor cell migration, invasion, and survival [114], [115], [116], [117], [118].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
