METHODS FOR TREATING CANCER USING AGENTS THAT INHIBIT WNT16 SIGNALING.

摘要

This invention relates to methods of inhibiting the growth of cells, in particular cancer cells that over express Wnt16 protein. The methods comprise contacting the cell with an agent that binds to Wnt16 mRNA or Wnt16 protein, interferes with Wnt16signaling or inhibits binding of the Wnt16 protein to another protein, such as a Frizzled receptor.
