February 2006 in “Cancer Research” The study investigated the role of Patched1 (Ptch1) in cell cycle progression and its function as a gatekeeper in preventing tumorigenesis, particularly in skin tumors resembling human basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Researchers found that loss of Ptch1 in mouse models led to rapid skin tumor formation, increased nuclear accumulation of cyclin D1 and B1, and enhanced cell proliferation, indicating Ptch1's role as a tumor suppressor. The study highlighted that Ptch1 loss predisposed cells to a tumorigenic fate by facilitating cell cycle progression, rather than through Wnt signaling. The research suggested that targeting the Hedgehog pathway, which involves Ptch1, could be a potential therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment, as inhibiting this pathway induced tumor regression in Ptch1-deficient mice.
