The present invention makes available methods and reagents for inhibiting aberrant growth states resulting from hedgehog gain-of-function by contacting the cell with a hedgehog antagonist, such as a small molecule, in a sufficient amount to aberrant growth state, e.g., to agonize a normal ptc pathway or antagonize hedgehog activity.
本发明提供了一种抑制由于刺猬
基因增强作用导致的异常生长状态的方法和试剂,通过使用刺猬拮抗剂(如小分子)与细胞接触,以足够的剂量来抑制异常生长状态,例如激活正常的ptc通路或拮抗刺猬活性。
