XAV939 stabilizes AXIN

XAV939 binds to the catalytic sites of tankyrase 1 and 2 and inhibits the ADP-ribosylation of AXIN1 and 2. Treatment of cells with XAV939 significantly increases the protein, but not the mRNA levels of AXIN1 and 2 and supports a strong increase in the level of GSK3beta-AXIN complexes. These cells also show increased phosphorylation of beta-catenin, decreased beta-catenin protein levels and a corresponding decrease in beta-catenin dependent transcription. Treatment of DLD-1 cells with XAV939 has also been shown to inhibit proliferation (Huang et al, 2009). XAV939 has not been tested in a clinical setting.
