Abstract Text Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most difficult malignancy to treat due to a lack of targeted therapy. Studies have demonstrated that the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling was preferentially found in TNBC. Frizzled-7 (Fzd7), one of the Wnt receptors, was significantly up-regulated in TNBC and modulated TNBC tumorigenesis through the Wnt signaling pathway, indicating Fzd7 is a biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for TNBC. Here, we designed a recombinant soluble peptide fragment (rhFzd7) to antagonize Fzd7 by competitively binding with Wnt ligands. We demonstrated the ability of rhFzd7 to bind to its ligand, Wnt3a, and monitored the kinetic process using a Biacore X100 system. In addition, the anti-tumor and anti-angiogenic activity of rhFzd7 were studied in vitro and in vivo. Results showed that the purified rhFzd7 pulled down Wnt3a from MDA-MB-231 cells and exhibited high affinity with Wnt3a (KD: 3.41 × 10-8 M). The data in vitro revealed that rhFzd7 inhibited proliferation and invasion of TNBC cells, and induced apoptosis of TNBC cells effectively. The anti-angiogenic assay indicated that rhFzd7 repressed TNBC angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, the study in vivo showed that rhFzd7 could sensitize TNBC cells to the anti-tumor effect of Docetaxel. In conclusion, the generation of rhFzd7 lays foundation for the screening of anti-Fzd7 antibody, and this novel design provides an effective candidate for the clinical treatment of TNBC.

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

RhFzd7 WNT Inhibitor 15 RhFzd7 is peptide fragment that consists of the extracellular domain of Frizzled 7 (Fzd7), which binds to Wnt3a and competes with binding to Fzd7, potentially resulting in apoptosis and inhibition of cellular invasion and proliferation (PMID: 30096373).
