Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) → ↑ Wnt/β-catenin signaling → ↑ proliferation. CFTR deficiency leads to increased cellular response to Wnt/β-catenin signaling and cellular proliferation. For example, CFTR deficiency enhances survival of colon organoids from CFTR knockout (KO) mice [5]. Increases in Wnt/β-catenin signaling is a hallmark of colorectal cancer (CRC) development.
