A novel RIP1-mediated canonical WNT signaling pathway that promotes colorectal cancer metastasis via β -catenin stabilization-induced EMT.

ABSTRACT: RIP1 (receptor-interacting protein kinase 1) is an important component of TNF-α signaling that contributes to various pathological effects. Here, we revealed new potential roles of RIP1 in controlling WNT/β-catenin canonical signaling to enhance metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC). First, we showed that WNT3A treatment sequentially increased the expression of RIP1 and β-catenin. Immunohistochemical analyses of human CRC tissue arrays consisting of normal, primary, and metastatic cancers indicated that elevated RIP1 expression might be related to β-catenin expression, carcinogenesis, and metastasis. Intravenous injection of RIP1 over-expressed CRC cells into mice has demonstrated that RIP1 may promote metastasis. Immunoprecipitation (IP) results indicated that WNT3A treatment induces dire
