Inhibition of the sonic hedgehog pathway activates TGF-β-activated kinase (TAK1) to induce autophagy and suppress apoptosis in thyroid tumor cells
Abstract The sonic hedgehog (Shh) pathway is highly activated in a variety of malignancies and plays important roles in tumorigenesis, tumor growth, drug resistance, and metastasis. Our recent study showed that the inhibitors of the Shh pathway such as cyclopamine (CP), a Smothened (SMO) inhibitor,...
