Patched
![Page 3: Patched and Basal Cell Carcinoma](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042510/56812c61550346895d90f1b0/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Patched Description
• Abbreviated Ptc
• Characterized as a tumor suppressor
• Sonic Hedgehog pathway
• 12 “pass” transmembrane receptor
• Binds to a ligand (Shh)

Sonic Hedgehog Pathway
Actually named after the video game character.

Sonic Hedgehog Pathway
• Many functions during development
• Acts to set up cell fates in diverse tissues
![Page 6: Patched and Basal Cell Carcinoma](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042510/56812c61550346895d90f1b0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Shh Pathway
• Ptc inhibits Smo• Protein complex binds
Gli• Gli is ubiquitnated,
and truncated• Gli binds to DNA• No transcription
![Page 7: Patched and Basal Cell Carcinoma](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042510/56812c61550346895d90f1b0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Shh Pathway with Hedgehog
• Hedgehog binds Ptc• Ptc doesn’t inhibit
Smo• Smo stops the
complex from ubiquitnating Gli
• Gli binds to DNA to promote transcription

Knockouts

Ptc Knockouts
Neural tube does not close.
-/- Embryonic lethal in mice
Shh pathway target genes turned on everywhere
-/-+/-

Relevance to Cancer

Radiation Sensitivity
• Ptc +/- causes increased incidence of basal cell carcinoma, a form of skin cancer
• Tested tumorigenesis in Ptc +/- mice, by exposing to UV light
• Ptc +/- mice had BCC tumors in 4 months versus 11 months in Ptc +/+ mice.

Basal Cell Carcinoma
• Type of skin cancer
• Approximately 800,000 new cases in the United States this year
• Basal cells line the bottom most layer of epidermis
• Caused by chronic overexposure to the sun, sunburns

Treatments
![Page 15: Patched and Basal Cell Carcinoma](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042510/56812c61550346895d90f1b0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Possible Treatments
• Prevention-WEAR SUNSCREEN!
• Basal Cell Carcinoma is easy to remove
• Removed before it can dramatically effect humans

Treatment Continued
• Medulloblastoma localized to brain
• Frequently inoperable
• If inactive Ptc, then use cyclopamine to artificially regulate the pathway downstream of Ptc
• Currently in Clinical Trials (Genentech and Curis)
