Pharmacological inhibition of the Wnt acyltransferase PORCN prevents growth of WNT-driven mammary cancer

KD Proffitt, B Madan, Z Ke, V Pendharkar, L Ding… - Cancer research, 2013 - AACR
Porcupine (PORCN) is a membrane bound O-acyltransferase that is required for Wnt
palmitoylation, secretion, and biologic activity. All evaluable human Wnts require PORCN for their …

Stroma provides an intestinal stem cell niche in the absence of epithelial Wnts

Z Kabiri, G Greicius, B Madan, S Biechele… - …, 2014 - journals.biologists.com
Wnt/β-catenin signaling supports intestinal homeostasis by regulating proliferation in the
crypt. Multiple Wnts are expressed in Paneth cells as well as other intestinal epithelial and …

[HTML][HTML] Wnt addiction of genetically defined cancers reversed by PORCN inhibition

B Madan, Z Ke, N Harmston, SY Ho, AO Frois, J Alam… - Oncogene, 2016 - nature.com
Enhanced sensitivity to Wnts is an emerging hallmark of a subset of cancers, defined in part
by mutations regulating the abundance of their receptors. Whether these mutations identify a …

Isoliquiritigenin inhibits IκB kinase activity and ROS generation to block TNF-α induced expression of cell adhesion molecules on human endothelial cells

S Kumar, A Sharma, B Madan, V Singhal… - Biochemical …, 2007 - Elsevier
Isoliquiritigenin (ILTG) is a flavonoid with chalcone structure (4,2′,4′-trihydroxychalcone),
an active component present in plants like Glycyrrhiza and Dalbergia which showed various …

Targeting Wnts at the source—new mechanisms, new biomarkers, new drugs

B Madan, DM Virshup - Molecular cancer therapeutics, 2015 - AACR
Wnt signaling is dysregulated in many cancers and is therefore an attractive therapeutic target.
The focus of drug development has recently shifted away from downstream inhibitors of β-…

[HTML][HTML] Bone loss from Wnt inhibition mitigated by concurrent alendronate therapy

B Madan, MJ McDonald, GE Foxa, CR Diegel… - Bone research, 2018 - nature.com
Dysregulated Wnt signaling is associated with the pathogenesis of cancers, fibrosis, and
vascular diseases. Inhibition of Wnt signaling has shown efficacy in various pre-clinical models …

USP6 oncogene promotes Wnt signaling by deubiquitylating Frizzleds

B Madan, MP Walker, R Young… - Proceedings of the …, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
The Wnt signaling pathways play pivotal roles in carcinogenesis. Modulation of the cell-surface
abundance of Wnt receptors is emerging as an important mechanism for regulating …

Wnts and the hallmarks of cancer

Z Zhong, J Yu, DM Virshup, B Madan - Cancer and Metastasis Reviews, 2020 - Springer
Since the discovery of the first mammalian Wnt proto-oncogene in virus-induced mouse
mammary tumors almost four decades ago, Wnt signaling pathway and its involvement in …
