The present invention makes available methods and reagents for inhibiting aberrant growth states resulting from hedgehog gain-of-function, ptc loss-of-function or smoothened gain-of-function comprising contacting the cell with a hedgehog antagonist of formula (I) in a sufficient amount to aberrant growth state, e.g., to agonize a normal ptc pathway or antagonize smoothened or hedgehog activity.
本发明提供了抑制因hedgehog
基因增强功能、ptc
基因失活功能或smoothened
基因增强功能导致的异常生长状态的方法和试剂,包括将细胞与式(I)的hedgehog拮抗剂接触,以足够的剂量抑制异常生长状态,例如,激活正常的ptc通路或拮抗smoothened或hedgehog活性。
