Does suppression of GLI sensitize medulloblastoma cells to mitochondria-mediated apoptosis?
Our data suggest that the SHH signalling pathway plays an important role in MB. GLI is an oncogenic transcription factor in the SHH pathway, and targeting GLI with GANT61 results in favourable antitumour activity and targeted therapy.
These data suggest that autophagy is a likely downstream mediator of ER stress-induced cell death in rat hepatocytes. Further exploration of the link between autophagy and ER stress in hepatocyte injury will yield important information that may be leveraged for treatment of liver injuries such as ischemia/reperfusion.
