The Wnt signaling pathway is integral to normal biological processes and inappropriately active in many cancers. It is regulated through degradation of the downstream effector ?-catenin via a complex consisting of the tumor suppressor APC, axin, and glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3). Axin is the concentration-limiting factor for this degradation complex. Initially indentified as telomere-associated proteins{6770}, tankyrases promote axin ubiquitination, possibly through poly-ADP-ribosylation (PARsylation).{17502} XAV939 is a potent, small molecule inhibitor of tankyrase (TNKS) 1 and 2 with IC50 values of 11 and 4 nM, respectively.{17502} By inhibiting TNKS activity, XAV939 increases the protein levels of the axin-GSK3? complex and promotes the degradation of ?-catenin in SW480 cells.{17502} At concentrations as low as 0.33 µM, XAV939 inhibits colony formation of APC-deficient colorectal cancer cells.{17502}
