This invention provides compositions, methods and kits for the diagnosis and treatment of cancers expressing a GLI polypeptide, and in particular a GLI1, GLI2 or GLI3 polypeptide. The invention provides small molecule compounds mimicking the transcriptional activation domain of a GLI polypeptide. The small molecule inhibitors of the invention specifically block the activator function of a GLI polypeptide, but not the repressor function of GLI3.
本发明提供了用于诊断和治疗表达GLI多肽的癌症的组合物、方法和试剂盒,特别是GLI1、GLI2或GLI3多肽。本发明提供了模拟GLI多肽转录激活域的小分子化合物。本发明的小分子抑制剂特异性地阻断GLI多肽的激活功能,但不阻断GLI3的抑制功能。
