Role of non‑coding RNA intertwined with the Wnt/β‑catenin signaling pathway in endometrial cancer (Review).

ABSTRACT: Endometrial cancer (EC) ranks as the sixth most common malignancy in women around the world. Although low‑grade and early‑stage EC commonly have an excellent prognosis, ~20% of EC patients experience an unfavorable prognosis. Identifying the pathogenesis and novel therapeutic targets may help address this group of patients. Non‑coding (nc)RNAs, such as long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs), microRNAs and circular RNAs (circRNAs), have been associated with EC occurrence and development. In addition, the aberrant activation of the Wnt/β‑catenin signaling pathway can promote the proliferation, invasion, migration and epithelial‑to‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) of EC cells. The network of ncRNAs has also been demonstrated to inhibit or activate the Wnt/β‑catenin signaling pathway. In the present revie
