• IKZF3 is overexpressed in gastric cancer tissues and promotes cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion.
• IKZF3 activates the Hedgehog signaling pathway by binding to the SMO promoter and upregulating SMO expression.
• Knockdown of IKZF3 induces G1/S cell cycle arrest, and the SMO inhibitor SANT-1 reverses IKZF3-mediated oncogenic effects.
• Targeting IKZF3 with SANT-1 represents a promising therapeutic strategy for gastric cancer treatment.
