项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Hedgehog signaling has been implicated in many cancers and has been shown to be a useful target for anti-cancer therapy. Previous work, including key contributions from my lab, have established that the Hedgehog protein is one of the major regulators of animal development, playing key roles in most tissues and organs in both invertebrates and vertebrates. Using newly developed reagents and methods that open new ways to study Hh signaling, the work proposed in this application will identify and characterize the processes that Hh-producing cells use to prepare and deliver Hh protein, the processes that Hh-receiving cells use to prepare for and handle its arrival, and the processes that regulate the form and activity of Ci, the transcription factor that is responsible for Hh pathway output. These issues are critical to understanding how new and better therapeutic regimens controlling Hh activity can be developed.

描述（由申请人提供）：刺猬信号已与许多癌症有关，已被证明是抗癌治疗的有用靶标。先前的工作，包括我实验室的主要贡献，已经确定刺猬蛋白是动物发育的主要调节剂之一，在无脊椎动物和脊椎动物的大多数组织和器官中扮演关键作用。使用新开发的试剂和方法开放新的研究HH信号传导的方法，本应用程序中提出的工作将识别并表征产生HH的细胞用于准备和传递HH蛋白的过程，HH捕获细胞用于准备和处理其到达的过程，以及调节CI的形式和活动的过程，该过程对CI负责，该过程对TATERCRIPTION pATER进行了HH HH的责任。这些问题对于理解如何开发控制HH活动的新的和更好的治疗方案至关重要。
