Role and inhibition of GLI1 protein in cancer
نویسندگان
چکیده
GLI1 is a transcriptional regulator involved in the development of different types of cancer. GLI1 transcriptional activity is regulated within the Hedgehog pathway (canonical activity), but can also be controlled independently (non-canonical activity) in the context of other signaling pathways. Experimental evidences show GLI1 involvement in both small- and non-small-cell lung cancers. Direct inhibition of the protein, in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents, represents a promising strategy for the treatment of different malignancies.

Objective: Although azelaic acid is effective for treatment of acne and rosacea, the biological activity of azelaic acid and the effect of its combination therapy with minoxidil were not elucidated with regard to hair growth. Materials and Methods: In this study, mouse vibrissae follicles were dissected on day 10 after depilation. Then, the bulb and bulge...
متن کاملInhibition of SALL4 suppresses carcinogenesis of colorectal cancer via regulating Gli1 expression.
BACKGROUND SALL4 is a novel oncogene mediating tumorigenesis in multiple carcinomas. However, its actual role and mechanisms participating in the development of colorectal cancer remains unclear. METHODS Immunohistochemical staining and Western blot were conducted to detect the expression of SALL4 and other molecules. siRNA of SALL4 was transfected to silence SALL4 expression in Caco-2 cell l...
متن کاملRole of hedgehog signaling in malignant pleural mesothelioma.
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess the activity of hedgehog signaling pathway in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The expression of hedgehog signaling components was assessed by quantitative PCR and in situ hybridization in 45 clinical samples.

متن کاملPhysalin H from Solanum nigrum as an Hh signaling inhibitor blocks GLI1–DNA-complex formation
Hedgehog (Hh) signaling plays an important role in embryonic development, cell maintenance and cell proliferation. Moreover, Hh signaling contributes to the growth of cancer cells. Physalins are highly oxidized natural products with a complex structure. Physalins (1-7) were isolated from Solanum nigrum (Solanaceae) collected in Bangladesh by using our cell-based assay. The isolated physalins in...
