Blocking Hedgehog Survival Signaling at the Level of the GLI Genes Induces DNA Damage and Extensive Cell Death in Human Colon Carcinoma Cells
12 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
Canonical Hedgehog (HH) signaling is characterized by Smoothened (Smo)-dependent activation of the transcription factors Gli1 and Gli2, which regulate HH target genes. In human colon carcinoma cells, treatment with the Gli small-molecule inhibitor GANT61 induces extensive cell death in contrast to the Smo inhibitor cyclopamine. Here we elucidate cellular events upstream of cell death elicited by GANT61, which...
