| Abstract | The Patched1 (Ptch)-mediated inhibition of Smoothened (Smo) is still an open question. However, a direct Ptch/Smo interaction has been excluded, Smo modulators were identified, but the endogenous signal transmitting molecule remains undiscovered. Here, we demonstrate that calcitriol, the hormonally active form of vitamin D3, is an excellent candidate for transmission of Ptch/Smo interaction. Our study reveals that Ptch expression is sufficient to release calcitriol from the cell and that calcitriol inhibits Smo action and ciliary translocation by acting on a site distinct from the 7-transmembrane domain or the cysteine-rich domain. Moreover calcitriol strongly synergizes with itraconazole (ITZ) in Smo inhibition, which did not result from elevated calcitriol bioavailability due to ITZ-mediated 24-hydroxylase inhibition but rather from a direct interaction of the compounds at the level of Smo. Together, we suggest that calcitriol represents a possible endogenous transmitter of Ptch/Smo interaction. Moreover calcitriol or calcitriol derivatives combined with ITZ might be a treatment option of Hedgehog-associated cancers. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
