MUC5B regulates alterations in the immune microenvironment in nasopharyngeal carcinoma via the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway by Hongming Wang

“…The expressions of mucin 5B, oligomeric mucus/gel-forming in clinical NPC tissues and adjacent tissue samples were detected Furthermore, mucin 5B, oligomeric mucus/gel-forming abnormal expression vectors were constructed and transfected into human NPC cell CNE-2Z to detect alterations in cell activity, ferroptosis and the immune microenvironment. In addition, the role of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in nasopharyngeal carcinoma was observed, and the influence of mucin 5B, oligomeric mucus/gel-forming on this pathway was discussed. …”
