Abstract:
Wnt/beta-catenin is the most important and more understanding pathway in Wnt pathways, which is closely related to pathogenesis and development of many solid tumors. Recently, researches discovered that Wnt/beta-catenin signal pathway may be involved in malignant hematopoiesis, and abnormally activated in many hematological-malignancies. This article reviews the newest studies on relationship between Wnt/beta-catenin signal pathway and hematological malignancies (multiple myeloma, chronic myeloid leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, acute leukemia and so on) in order to reveal the related pathogenesis of hematological malignancies and provide new opinions for target therapy of these diseases.
