Smo
Smoothened
Smoothened (Smo), a class Frizzled G protein-coupled receptor (class F GPCR), transduces the Hedgehog (Hh) signal across the cell membrane. The Hh signaling pathway includes both canonical and noncanonical pathways. The canonical Hh pathway functions through major Hh molecules such as Hh ligands, PTCH, Smo, and GLI, whereas the noncanonical Hh pathway involves the activation of Smo or GLI through other pathways.
The Hh signaling cascade is initiated by the binding of the Hh protein ligand to its cellular membrane receptor, Patched (PTCH), which relieves PTCH-mediated repression of the seven-transmembrane (7TM) protein Smo. Activated Smo transduces the signal to the GLI family of transcription factors, which translocate to the nucleus to regulate numerous gene products involved in tissue patterning and cell differentiation.

Taladegib
0 ImagesSynonyms: LY2940680Taladegib is a Smoothened (SMO) antagonist. Taladegib hydrochloride inhibits the Hedgehog signaling pathway, with an IC50 of 5.5 nM for suppressing GLI1 mRNA expression in DAOY cells and an IC50 of 7.6 nM in CGNP cell proliferation assays. Taladegib binds to the extracellular loop region (site 1) of the transmembrane domain of the SMO receptor, competes with cyclopamine for SMO binding, and thereby inhibits Gli-dependent transcription. Taladegib can be used in studies of Hedgehog pathway-related cancers.

20(S)-Hydroxycholesterol
0 Images20(S)-Hydroxycholesterol (20α-Hydroxycholesterol) is an allosteric activator that selectively targets the Smoothened (Smo) of the Hedgehog pathway with an EC50 of ~30 μM (Hedgehog). 20(S)-Hydroxycholesterol binds to the extracellular cysteine-rich domain (CRD) of Smo in a stereoselective manner, activating downstream Gli transcription factors (without inducing transcription of receptor genes in the Wnt pathway). 20(S)-Hydroxycholesterol enhances osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells and synergistically activates the Raf/MEK/ERK pathway with Simvastatin (HY-17502) to promote bone regeneration. 20(S)-Hydroxycholesterol can be used to study the mechanisms of developmental biology, oncology, bone, and angiogenesis.

Halcinonide
0 ImagesHalcinonide (SQ-18566) is an orally active Smoothened (Smo) agonist. Halcinonide activates the Hedgehog signaling pathway by binding to Smo and promoting its internalization and expression, thereby activating Gli transcription factors. Halcinonide not only stimulates cell proliferation, increases the expression of cyclin D2/CDK6 and inhibits the degradation of caspase-3, but also suppresses Bcl-2/Bax-mediated apoptosis, oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. Halcinonide activates RxRγ to upregulate the expression of myelin genes, thereby reducing cerebral infarction and improving behavioral deficits. Halcinonide has been used in studies related to multiple sclerosis and ischemic stroke.
