To determine whether alterations in the PTCH1 gene are responsible for this pathway activation, we screened pancreatic carcinomas for mutations in PTCH. To investigate the contribution of hedgehog signaling to the tumorigenicity of pancreatic tumor cells, we blocked the Hedgehog pathway in cultured tumor cells and xenografts using the steroidal alkaloid cyclopamine and the small-molecule Hedgehog inhibitor Hh-Antag.RESULTS: We identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the PTCH1 gene but no somatic PTCH1 mutations.
