“…Recently, Petrova et al (2013) discovered that RU-SKI inhibits HH signaling blocking HHAT-mediated SHH palmitoylation. 5E1 (Ericson et al, 1996), an anti-SHH monoclonal (Berman et al, 2002;Geoerger et al, 2012;Romer et al, 2004) Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) ligand-independent mouse model; clinical trial (Migden et al, 2015;Sekulic et al, 2012;Xie et al, 1998) Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) ligand-independent mouse model; clinical trial (Hahn et al, 1998;Kieran et al, 2013) Pancreatic cancer ligand-dependent mouse model; clinical trial (Ko et al, 2016;Olive et al, 2009) Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) ligand-dependent mouse model; clinical trial (Dierks et al, 2008;Martinelli et al, 2015) Multiple myeloma ligand-dependent mouse model; clinical trial (Dierks et al, 2007;Khan et al, 2015) Lymphoma ligand-dependent mouse model; clinical trial (Dierks et al, 2007;Tibes and Mesa, 2014) Breast cancer ligand-dependent human breast cancer cell line; clinical trial (Chu et al, 2014;Zhang et al, 2009) Prostate cancer ligand-dependent human prostate cancer cell line; clinical trial (Antonarakis et al, 2013;Karhadkar et al, 2004) Small cell lung cancer ligand-dependent human lung cancer cell line; clinical trial (Belani et al, 2013;Watkins et al, 2003) Colorectal cancer ligand-dependent human colorectal cancer cell line; clinical trial (Berlin et al, 2013;Monzo et al, 2006) Liver cancer ligand-dependent human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (Huang et al, 2006) Stomach cancer ligand-dependent human gastric carcinoma cell line; clinical trial (Berman et al, 2003;Cohen et al, 2013) antibody, and robotnikinin (Stanton et al, 2009), a small molecule that physically interacts with SHH, interfere with SHH-PTCH1 interaction, thereby inhibiting HH signaling. Experiments in various developmental and cancer studies have confirmed the efficacy of 5E1 with sub-nanomolar inhibitory potency …”
