PATCHED And Its Role in Basal Cell Carcinoma By: Greg Stahr
Patched is the receptor for the key signaling protein Hedgehog
PTCH is key at many places in normal development • In Flies: • Anterior posterior patterning in embryos • Wing Pattern Johnson, Milenkovic, et. Al. (Molecular Cell) • In Humans: • Somites • Neural tube • Brain Development • Holoprosencephaly • Heart Development • Many other areas of the body (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holoprosencephaly)
SHH Pathway is key in Nervous system patterning in Vertebrates
Basal Cell Carcinoma is the most common cancer in humans • Autosomal Dominant (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1521661610000471) • LOH at 9q22.3 (http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/gene/PTCH1)
Basal Cell Carcinoma affects the basal stem cells in the skin (https://ufandshands.org/basal-cell-carcinoma)
Vismodegib is another HH/PTCH1/SMO pathway inhibitor • Typical treatment for BCCs is surgery • Inhibitor called Vismodegib shows promising results in clinical trials
