Upregulation of the Wnt co-receptor LRP6 promotes hepatocarcinogenesis and enhances cell invasion.

BACKGROUND: Activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway plays a crucial role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-related protein-6 (LRP6) is one of the co-receptors of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and forms a signaling complex with Wnt ligand and Frizzled rec...
