They focused their research on the Wnt signaling pathway, which has been implicated in the vast majority of all colorectal cancers.
For example, the Wnt/B/catenin pathway, termed the canonical Wnt signaling pathway, involves Wnt binding to Frizzled cell surface receptors, which in turn activate Disheveled, causing the inhibition of protein kinase glycogen synthase kinase 3, which in turn releases dephosphorylated ß-catenin from the adenomatous polyposis coli-axin complex.
This decrease was primarily the result of the conclusion of research funding under Curis' ongoing Wnt signaling pathway discovery collaboration with Genentech in March 2007 and under Curis' Hedgehog agonist collaboration with Wyeth in February 2008.
