These investigators showed that deguelin inhibits wnt/beta-catenin signaling in breast cancer cell lines, in addition to inhibiting other previously reported signaling pathways.

The microarray profile indicated differential expression of two independent pathways, including clusters of apoptosis and Wnt/beta-catenin signaling genes in cells as a result of deguelin treatment.

Our data show that LMW-PTP is oxidized and inactivated during Aplidin treatment, thus causing a hyper-phosphorylation of its substrate beta-catenin.
Rotenone, but not other selective inhibitors of ROS production, blocks the induction of ROS, suggesting the involvement of the mitochondrial respiratory chain in Aplidin action.
