Eltanexor Targets Wnt/β-Catenin in Colorectal Cancer
2026-09-16
This preprint identifies XPO1 inhibition by Eltanexor (KPT-8602) as a potential chemopreventive strategy in colorectal cancer, linking nuclear export blockade to FoxO3a retention, reduced Wnt/β-catenin activity, and lower COX-2 expression. Its cell, organoid, and Apcmin/+ mouse data provide a mechanistic framework for studying nuclear export inhibition in genetically high-risk colorectal cancer, while the preprint status and model limitations warrant cautious interpretation.
