Abstract

The Wnt signaling pathway is evolutionary conserved and controls many biological processes like cell proliferation and differentiation. It also provides planar polarity, regulation of the cell cycle, and cell adhesion during both the embryonic and adult period. However, it has been widely considered in the literature that some pathological alterations in various biomolecules involved in this pathway, and aberrant activation of signaling have important roles primarily in the genesis of colorectal and cervical cancer and several other serious diseases. The Wnt signaling pathway diversifies into 3 types: Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, planar cell polarity pathway, and Wnt/calcium ($Ca^ {+2}$) pathway. Only the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is dealt with in our review, because of its close relation with diseases. In recent years, numerous studies about the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway have led to an explanation of the signal mechanism and the identification of all components and the relation with the other signaling pathways. All of these studies have provided crucial contributions to novel diagnostic and therapeutic methods. Gynecological cancers originate in the female reproductive organs and include cervical, endometrium, ovarian, vulvar, and fallopian cancers. These cancers are very significant because they are seen in about 45% of women. The most common type of gynecological malignancies are cervical and ovarian cancers, and their progression may result in death, and so clarifying the mechanisms of carcinogenesis is very important for producing new targets for therapy methods. Thus, in our review, it is planned to explain the relation of gynecological cancers, whose mortality is the highest after breast cancer in Turkey and worldwide, with the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and its biomolecules in the light of the literature.

Özet

Wnt/β-katenin sinyal yolu hücre bölünmesi, farklılaşması gibi önemli biyolojik süreçleri kontrol eden ve evrimsel açıdan oldukça korunmuş bir sinyal yoludur. Ayrıca hem embriyonik hem erişkin dönemde hücre polaritesinin sağlanması, hücre siklusunun düzenlenmesi ve hücre adezyonu gibi süreçlerde de rol oynar. Ancak bu sinyal yolunda görev alan çeşitli biyomoleküllerde meydana gelen bazı patolojik değişikliklerin başta kolorektal ve servikal kanserler olmak üzere çeşitli ciddi hastalıkların oluşumunda rol oynadığı literatürde geniş yer bulmaktadır. Wnt sinyal yolunun üç tipi vardır: Wnt/β-katenin sinyal yolu, hücre polaritesinin sağlanmasında rol oynayan sinyal yolu ve Wnt/Kalsiyum (Ca+2) sinyal yolu. Hastalıklarla olan ilişkisi nedeniyle derlememizde sadece Wnt/β-katenin sinyal yolu üzerinde durulacaktır. Son yıllarda yapılan çalışmalar Wnt/β-katenin sinyal yolunun mekanizması, bu yolda rol oynayan biyomoleküller ve bu sinyal yolunun diğer sinyal yolları ile olan ilişkilerinin açıklıkla ortaya konulmasına yöneliktir. Bütün bu çalışmalar yeni teşhis ve tedavi yöntemlerinin oluşturulmasına çok önemli katkılar sağlamaktadır. Jinekolojik kanserler dişi üreme sisteminden köken alır ve sevikal, endometrium, over, vulvar ve fallopian kanserlerini içerir. Bu kanserler kadınların yaklaşık % 45’ini etkilediği için oldukça önemlidir. Jinekolojik malignansilerin en yaygın iki tipi servikal ve over kanserleridir ve ilerleyişleri ölümle sonuçlanabilir dolayısıyla bu kanserlerin oluşum mekanizmalarının aydınlatılması hedefe yönelik yeni tedavi yöntemlerinin geliştirilebilmesi için çok önemlidir. Bu nedenle, derlememizde, Türkiye’de ve dünyada mortalitesi meme kanserlerinden sonra en yüksek olan jinekolojik kanserlerin oluşumu ile Wnt/β-katenin sinyal yolu ve bu yolda rol oynayan biyomoleküller arasındaki ilişkisinin literatür bilgileri ışığında ortaya konulması hedeflenmiştir.
