    摘要: The methods of the invention allow extremely high throughput screening of chemicals against a large number of pharmacologically relevant targets. All of the pharmacologically relevant targets are expressed in cells, which are then screened against a fluorescently-tagged combinatorial library. Binding of the small molecules to the cells is then detected by fluorescence activated cell sorting or imaging.

    摘要: Methods are provided in which a sterol-depleting agent such as β-cyclodextrin (βCD), is used to modulate signaling by a differentiation signaling protein such as Hedgehog protein or a BMP in vitro. As illustrated herein, the use of βCD in conjunction with Sonic Hedgehog N-terminal peptide (ShhN) causes substantially all of the cells in neural plate explants to differentiate as neurons, such as motor neurons. Also provided are cell therapy methods and screening methods that rely on the modulation of signaling of a differentiation signaling protein such as Hedgehog, by a sterol-depleting agent such as βCD.

    摘要: Elevated Hedgehog (Hh) pathway activity, including ligand stimulated Hh pathway activity, was detected in prostate tumors, and determined to be associated with growth and proliferation of the cancer cells. Accordingly, methods are provided for treating a prostate cancer associated with elevated Hh pathway activity by reducing or inhibiting the Hh pathway activity. Also provided are methods of identifying a prostate tumor of a subject as, or as capable of becoming lethal and/or metastatic.
