Abstract excerpt
Aberrant activation of the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway has been reported in various cancer types including prostate cancer. The GLI2 transcription factor is a primary mediator of Hh signaling. However, its relative contribution to development of prostate tumors is poorly understood. To establish the role of GLI2 in maintaining the tumorigenic properties of prostate cancer cells, we developed GLI2-specific...
