Proposed models how DACT2 affects the β-catenin/Cdc25c pathway in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. When β-catenin/LEF1 complex is activated, it promotes the development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma by targeting its downstream genes including Cdc25c, which plays a crucial role in regulating cell cycle G2/M stage. DACT2 inhibits the activity of β-catenin/LEF1 complex by competitively binding to β-catenin and downregulates the expression of Cdc25c and its downstream genes, which can suppress nasopharyngeal carcinoma growth
