Research Abstract |
Glioblastoma, one of the most malignant brain tumors, invade surrounding brain by expression of MMPs. Wnts, secretory proteins bind to their receptors, Fzd, Ror2, and Ryk. We previously reported that Wnt-5a was highly expressed and it up-regulated MMP-2 in glioblastoma. In this work, we revealed that tumor cell invasion by MMP-2 was achieved via receptor Ryk, and the degree of histological malignancy correlated with expression of Fzd2 and Ryk (J Biochem 2014, doi: 10.1093/jb/mvu015). In another analysis, we reported that high expression of Fzd2 and Fzd6 was poor prognostic factor in glioblastoma patients (Brain Tumor Pathol 2013, 10.1007/s10014-013-0153-1).
