One third of all breast cancers are estrogen receptor alpha (ER.alpha.) negative, have a poor overall prognosis and do not respond well to currently available endocrine therapies. Use of a Wnt5- .alpha. protein or a peptide thereof, such as a recombinant Wnt-5a protein or a Wnt-5a derived hexapeptide (Foxy-5) possessing Wnt-5a signaling properties, enables restoration of ER.alpha. expression and makes it possible to treat such breast cancers with selective estrogen receptor modulators, such as tamoxifen, or aromatase inhibitors.

On a déterminé que un tiers de l'ensemble des cancers du sein sont négatifs au récepteur alpha des strogènes (Era), ont un pronostic général médiocre et ne répondent pas bien aux thérapies endocriniennes actuellement disponibles. L'utilisation d'une protéine Wnt5-a ou d'un peptide de celle-ci, en tant que protéine Wnt5-a de recombinaison ou qu'hexapeptide dérivé de Wnt5-a (Foxy-5) possédant des propriétés de signalisation de Wnt5-a, permet la restauration de l'expression d'Era et rend possible le traitement de ces cancers du sein avec des modulateurs de récepteur d'strogènes sélectifs, tels que le tamoxifène, ou des inhibiteurs de l'aromatase.
