Wnt/β-catenin signaling plays a critical role in colorectal cancer (CRC) tumorigenesis and the homeostasis of colorectal cancer stem cells (CSCs), but its molecular mechanism remains unclear. B-cell lymphoma 3 (Bcl-3), a member of the IκB family, is overexpressed in CRC and promotes tumorigenicity. Here, we report a novel function of Bcl-3 in maintaining colorectal CSC homeostasis by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Silencing Bcl-3 suppresses the self-renewal capacity of colorectal CSCs and s ...[more]
