Wnt signaling transduction pathway plays an important role in many kinds of life activities,such as the for-mation of various organizations and organs,immunity,reflex activity,canceration of the normal cell and anti-apoptotic process.The association between the Wnt signaling pathway and apoptosis has become more firmly established in the recent scientific literature.The activity of Wnt signaling according to specific cellular environment stimuli can regulate apoptosis.In this review,we will summarize the recent researches about the apoptosis transferred by Wnt signaling transduction pathway which interfere the activity of cancer cell and the development of organism,and we will also draw attention to genes and proteins of the Wnt signaling pathway involved in apoptosis and describe some of their function-al effects.%Wnt信号通路在生物体内参与调节了很多生命过程，其中包括各个组织的形成及器官的产生、免疫作用的发生、机体应激性的产生、细胞癌变和细胞凋亡与抗凋亡的过程等重要生命活动。越来越多的研究揭示了Wnt信号通路在细胞凋亡过程中的巨大作用，当然，Wnt信号通路通过很多已知的途径进行细胞凋亡过程的调节，其中包括通过调整细胞所处的外环境从而刺激细胞凋亡过程的加速或减缓等过程。本文将在Wnt细胞信号通路调控细胞凋亡从影响肿瘤细胞生长及生物体发育上对近期发表的研究成果作简要综述，并对Wnt信号通路中存在的关键基因、转录蛋白质做重点介绍并对其在细胞凋亡过程中所起的重要作用加以详细阐述。
