Shh Pathway Activity Is Down-Regulated in Cultured Medulloblastoma Cells: Implications for Preclinical Studies
15 Apr 2006
Abstract excerpt
Gene expression profiling indicates that the Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) pathway is active in approximately 30% of human medulloblastomas, suggesting that it could provide a useful therapeutic target. Previously, we showed that spontaneous medulloblastomas in Ptc1(+/-)p53-/- mice could be eradicated by treatment with a small-molecule inhibitor (HhAntag) of Smoothened (Smo). Here, we compared the responses of mouse...
