hedgehog signalling pathway: carcinogenesis and targeted therapy
نویسندگان
چکیده
hedgehog signalling pathway has not only a critical role in cell proliferation, differentiation and tissue polarity at embryonic period but also has a vital role in stem cell proliferation, tissue healing and carcinogenesis. recent research has increased our understanding of this pathway and its relation to other signalling pathways. in addition, a large number of studies confirmed the alteration of hh signalling pathway in various types of human malignancies including basal cell carcinomas, medulloblastomas, lung, gastrointestinal, ovarian, breast, prostate cancers and leukemia. more than 50 small biomolecules have been introduced which have inhibitory effects on hh signalling pathway. although, in many tumors some acceptable results have been showed in phase i clinical trial, closer studies are required to improve drug bioavailability, to decrease the side effects and to find the right small molecules for specific types of cancers, considering patients overall benefits as well.

متن کاملSignalling pathways in prostate carcinogenesis: potentials for molecular-targeted therapy.
Prostate cancer represents a major health issue and its incidence is rising globally. In developed countries, prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the second most common cause of death from cancer in men. Androgen deprivation reduces tumour activity in approx. 80% of patients with advanced disease, but most tumours relapse within 2 years to an incurable hormone-resistant ...
متن کاملThe Hedgehog signalling pathway regulates autophagy
Autophagy is a highly conserved degradative process that removes damaged or unnecessary proteins and organelles, and recycles cytoplasmic contents during starvation. Autophagy is essential in physiological processes such as embryonic development but how autophagy is regulated by canonical developmental pathways is unclear. Here we show that the Hedgehog signalling pathway inhibits autophagosome...
متن کاملSingapore signalling: the 2012 hedgehog pathway cocktail.
The 'Hedgehog Signalling in Development Evolution and Disease' conference took place in Biopolis, Singapore, in March 2012. Organized by Phil Ingham with help from Xinhua Lin, Mary-Ann Price and Fred de Sauvage, it brought leading researchers together to discuss the latest findings and exchange ideas on every aspect of hedgehog signalling.
متن کاملSonic hedgehog signalling pathway: a complex network
Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) signalling cascade is one of the intricate signal transduction mechanisms that govern the precisely regulated developmental processes of multicellular organisms. Along with establishing the patterns of cellular differentiation to direct complex organ formation, it also has an important role in post-embryonic tissue regeneration and repair processes. Especially, Shh signalli...
متن کاملHedgehog signalling
The Hedgehog (Hh) signalling pathway is one of the key regulators of metazoan development. Hh proteins have been shown to play roles in many developmental processes and have become paradigms for classical morphogens. Dysfunction of the Hh pathway underlies a number of human developmental abnormalities and diseases, making it an important therapeutic target. Interest in Hh signalling thus extend...
