The present invention makes available methods and reagents for inhibiting aberrant growth states resulting from hedgehog gain-of-function, ptc loss-of- function or smoothened gain-of-function comprising contacting the cell with a hedgehog antagonist, such as a small molecule, in a sufficient amount to aberrant growth state, e.g., to agonize a normal ptc pathway or antagonize smoothened or hedgehog activity. Such methods and reagents may also inhibit the hedgehog pathway in normal cells, e.g., where normal levels of hedgehog signalling are unwanted.

La présente invention concerne des méthodes et des réactifs pouvant inhiber des états de croissance aberrante résultant d'un gain de fonction hedgehog, d'une perte de fonction ptc ou d'un gain de fonction de la protéine Smoothened. Ces méthodes consistent à placer la cellule au contact d'un antagoniste hedgehog, tel qu'une petite molécule, en quantité suffisante pour inhiber l'état de croissance aberrante, par exemple pour induire une réaction agoniste d'une voie ptc normale ou antagoniste de l'activité de la protéine Smoothened ou de hedgehog. Les méthodes et les réactifs de l'invention peuvent également inhiber la voie hedgehog dans des cellules saines, par exemple lorsque des niveaux normaux du signal hedgehog ne sont pas désirés.
