Kurzfassung:
image Aberrant activation of the Wnt/β‐catenin pathway can promote stem cell self‐renewal and expansion in cancer. Here, mislocalized secretory proteoglycan ESM1 is implicated in the nuclear coordination of Wnt/β‐catenin signaling, thus supporting prostate cancer (PCa) stemness and metastasis. Nuclear ESM1 regulates PCa metastasis by promoting cancer stem cell properties. ESM1 associates with β‐catenin to stabilize the β‐catenin/TCF4 complex and promote Wnt activation. A positive feed‐forward loop between activated β‐catenin and nuclear ESM1 maintains Wnt‐mediated PCa stemness.
