SMO protein inhibitors Understanding

SMO protein inhibitors: Overview

SMO is a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) of the Frizzled-class (class-F). It transduces the Hedgehog signal from the tumour suppressor Patched-1 (PTCH1) to the glioma-associated-oncogene (GLI) transcription factors, which activates the Hedgehog signalling pathway. Mutations in SMO that lead to constitutive activation of SMO are known to play a role in carcinogenesis of basal cell carcinoma, glioblastoma, medulloblastoma, and rhabdomyosarcoma. Overexpression of either Wnt-1 or the GLI proteins results in cancer. Inhibition of the Smoothened (SMO) protein prevents the induction of GLI transcriptional activity upon exposure of cancer cells to Shh ligands. Loss of induction of GLIs upon activation of Shh signaling inhibits the ability of Shh signaling to promote tumor progression. Therapies that inhibit Smo have many applications in cancer treatment, therefore several active clinical trials are going on to check efficacy.
