  • Inhibitors of atypical protein kinase C and their use in treating hedgehog pathway-dependent cancers
    Patent number: 9597369
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for modulating Hedgehog (Hh) pathway signaling in a cell. Aspects of the methods include methods for inhibiting Hh pathway-promoted cancer proliferation and/or metastasis that is promoted by Hh pathway signaling, methods for treating cancers promoted by Hh pathway signaling, and methods for screening candidate agents for the ability to treat a cancer promoted by Hh pathway signaling. In addition, reagents and kits thereof that find use in practicing the subject methods are provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 2, 2015
    Date of Patent: March 21, 2017
    Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University
    Inventors: Scott X. Atwood, Anthony Oro
