1. WIF1 methylation may serve as a potential prognostic marker for patients with chondrosarcoma. PMID: 28484252
2. our findings indicate that HOXC6 plays an important role in the progress and prognosis of human glioma and promotes glioma U87 cell growth through the WIF-1/Wnt signaling pathway PMID: 30228024
3. Data revealed that the upregulation of WIF1 induced autophagy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. WIF1-mediated autophagy was demonstrated to inhibit Wnt/betacatenin signaling by downregulating Dvl2, which contributed to the inhibition of the proliferation and the promotion of the apoptosis of NSCLC cells. PMID: 29916529
4. WIF-1 gene methylation is associated with pathogenesis of multiple human tumors. PMID: 29970693
5. the expression of WIF-1 was low in GBC cells due to aberrant hypermethylation of its promoter region. Additionally, an alternative pathogenesis of GBC was indicated in which c-Jun causes hypermethylation of the WIF-1 promoter region, and represses the expression of WIF-1 through transcriptional regulation and interaction with DNMT1 as an early event in the tumorigenesis of GBC. PMID: 29693707
6. miR-590-3p regulates colon cancer progression via WIF1 and DKK1, which suggests that miR-590-3p may be a promising candidate for therapeutic applications in colon cancer treatment PMID: 29164578

8. the results of our study show that down-regulated INTS6 expression is associated with a poorer prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. This newly identified INTS6/WIF-1 axis indicates the molecular mechanism of HCC and may represent a therapeutic target in HCC patients. PMID: 28899352
9. the promoters of WIF1, NLK, and APC are highly methylated in the nasopharyngeal cancers (NPC) and gastric carcinoma (GC) cell lines, and the 3 genes are also regulated by miR-BART19-3p expressed by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV); expression of the WIF1, APC, and NLK genes is strongly affected by hypermethylation, and in EBV-associated tumors, the 3 genes are also affected by miR-BART19-3p PMID: 28543390
10. Data show the frequency of WIF-1 hypermethylation significantly increased in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) specimens compared with normal lung tissue. WIF-1 hypermethylation is predominant in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), suggesting that WIF-1 methylation contributes to the development of NSCLC, especially SCC. [review] PMID: 27911280

12. Our data suggests that total cellular b-catenin levels decrease in the presence of secreted frizzled-related protein 1 and Wnt inhibitory factor 1, and a significant increase in cell death after tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment is observed. On the contrary, when secreted frizzled-related protein 1 is suppressed, total b-catenin levels increase in the cell and the cells become resistant to tyrosine kinase inhibitors. PMID: 28468589
13. Gallbladder cancer patients with hypermethylated WIF-1 exhibited worse overall survival than those with hypomethylated WIF-1. PMID: 28438695

16. the expression levels of WIF-1 were low in gallbladder cancer tumor tissues and the GBC-SD, SGC-996 and NOZ gallbladder cancer cell lines. This low expression was associated with the methylation status of the WIF-1 gene promotor. PMID: 27430608
17. Promoter hypermethylation WIF1 play an important role in the carcinogenesis of lung cancer. PMID: 27930522
18. HOTAIR can affect the radiosensitivity of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells partly via regulating the expression of WIF-1, and HOTAIR-WIF-1 axis is a potential target for PDAC radiotherapy. PMID: 26482614
19. beta-catenin expression may also be a poor prognostic factor for cervical cancer (CC) while WIF1 could be a potential drug target for treatment of advanced CC. PMID: 27843945
20. Reduced expression of Wif-1 and increased expression of beta-catenin may be involved in the pathogenesis of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). PMID: 27655540
21. Results provide evidence that WIF1 is frequently methylated in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), but not in oral submucous fibrosis tissues, which results in reduced expression. This epigenetic biomarker can be used for the early detection of OSCC. PMID: 26352791

25. Data show that the WIF domain of Wnt Inhibitory Factor 1 (WIF1) is bound by C-terminal domains of Wnt proteins Wnt5a and Wnt7a at two sites. PMID: 26342861
