BACKGROUND Aberrant activation of Wnt/?-catenin has been shown to promote ovarian
cancer proliferation and chemoresistance. Pyrvinium, an FDA-approved anthelmintic
drug, has been identified as a potent Wnt inhibitor. Pyrvinium may sensitize
ovarian cancer cells to chemotherapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS The effect of
pyrvinium alone and its combination with paclitaxel in ovarian cancer was
investigated using an in vitro culture system and in vivo xenograft models. The
mechanisms of its action were also analyzed, focusing on the Wnt/?-catenin
pathway. RESULTS Pyrvinium inhibited growth and induced apoptosis of paclitaxel-
and cisplatin-resistant epithelial ovarian cancer cell lines A2278/PTX and
SK-OV-3. Its combination with paclitaxel was synergistic in targeting ovarian
cancer cells in vitro. In 3 independent ovarian xenograft mouse models, pyrvinium
alone inhibited tumor growth. More importantly, we observed significant
inhibition of tumor growth throughout the treatment when using pyrvinium and
paclitaxel combined. Mechanistically, pyrvinium increased the Wnt-negative
regulator axin and decreased the b-catenin levels in ovarian cancer cells. In
addition, pyrvinium suppressed Wnt/b-catenin-mediated transcription, as shown by
the decreased mRNA levels of MYC, cyclin D, and BCL-9. In contrast, the
inhibitory effects of pyrvinium were reversed by ?-catenin stabilization or
overexpression, demonstrating that pyrvinium acted on ovarian cancer cells via
targeting the Wnt/?-catenin signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that
the anthelmintic drug pyrvinium targets ovarian cancer cells through suppressing
Wnt/?-catenin signaling. Our work highlights the therapeutic value of inhibiting
Wnt/?-catenin in ovarian cancer.
