The present invention resides in the discovery that Smad3, a key downstream mediator of TGF-β signaling, plays a critical role in development and progression of cancer. Thus, this application provides for a novel method of treating cancer by inhibiting Smad3 signaling, such as through administration of SIS3, an inhibitor of Smad3. Further provided are compositions and kits useful for treating cancer by way of inhibiting Smad3 signaling.
本发明在于发现 Smad3 是 TGF-β 信号传导的关键下游介质,在癌症的发生和发展中起着关键作用。因此,本申请提供了一种通过抑制 Smad3 信号传导治疗癌症的新方法,例如通过施用 Smad3 的
抑制剂 SIS3。本申请还提供了通过抑制 Smad3
信号转导治疗癌症的组合物和试剂盒。
