Core Tip	Genetic and epigenetic modifications of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway play a fundamental role in the initiation and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). The nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ (PPARγ) acts as a differentiation-promoting transcription factor with a potential link with Wnt/β-catenin. In this review, we discuss the basic principles underlying the crosstalk between Wnt/β-catenin and PPARγ signaling, present the most recent progress in understanding as to how their alterations can culminate in CRC and, finally, suggest new hypotheses and perspectives on the identification of selective PPARγ modulators endowed with Wnt/β-catenin inhibitory effects to be used as molecular targeted drugs.
