Super-enhancer hijacking drives ectopic expression of hedgehog pathway ligands in meningiomas

Nature Communications, 2023
Hedgehog signaling mediates embryologic development of the central nervous system and other tissues and is frequently hijacked by neoplasia to facilitate uncontrolled cellular proliferation.

Activation of the Hedgehog pathway in pilocytic astrocytomas [PDF]

Neuro-Oncology, 2010
Pilocytic astrocytoma is commonly viewed as a benign lesion. However, disease onset is most prevalent in the first two decades of life, and children are often left with residual or recurrent disease and significant morbidity. The Hedgehog (Hh) pathway regulates the growth of higher WHO grade gliomas, and in this study, we have evaluated the activation ...

PDGFRα+/Integrin α2+ Fibroblasts Orchestrate Tumor Budding in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma via Mechano‐Metabolic Symbiosis: E‐Cadherin/Integrin α2β1 Adhesion and Mitochondrial Transfer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
PDGFA/PDGFRα signaling recruits CAFs to OSCC nests, and CAF‐OSCC contact drives tumor budding invasion. Mechanistically, heterotypic adhesion via E‐cadherin/integrin α2β1 activates YAP signaling in OSCC cells, inducing EMT. Concurrently, CAFs transfer mitochondria through TNTs, supplying ATP to fuel invasion.

The Role of Hedgehog Pathway in Female Cancers

Journal of Cancer Science and Clinical Therapeutics, 2020
The hedgehog pathway (HH) is one of the key regulators involved in many biological events. Malfunction of this pathway is associated with a variety of diseases including several types of cancers.We collected data from public databases and conducted a comprehensive search linking the HH pathway with female cancers.

Genomic Contributors to Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia: Results of Exome Sequencing in 560 Probands and Cross Reference of Findings in an Independent Cohort

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is a strong genetic contribution to the etiology of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). This study evaluated genetic testing results and diagnostic yield for fetuses and children with CDH. This was a retrospective cohort study of exome sequencing (ES) performed at GeneDx for fetuses and children ≤ 18 years of age with CDH compared ...

Inhibition of hedgehog pathway reveals the regulatory role of SMO in gastric cancer cells

Tumor Biology, 2017
Previous studies report aberrant activation of the hedgehog signaling pathway in the progression of various cancers. This study aimed to investigate the expressions of smoothened and downstream glioma-associated oncogene homology-1 in gastric cancer and ...

Inhibition of the Hedgehog pathway in lung cancer

Lung Cancer, 2019
Inhibitors of the hedgehog pathway are effective in patients with basal cell carcinoma and a subgroup of patients with medulloblastoma with active hedgehog signaling. Despite preclinical work suggesting otherwise, clinical trials in solid tumors of epithelial origin have not shown added benefit with these drugs.

Streamlining Diagnosis of Bardet–Biedl Syndrome: New Diagnostic Algorithm With Updated Criteria

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Considerable advances have been made in our understanding of Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS), particularly in its core clinical features and molecular genetics, warranting an update to the existing diagnostic criteria framework. Using a rigorous, evidence‐based, and consensus‐driven process, a multidisciplinary group of international experts and ...

The emerging roles of phosphatases in Hedgehog pathway

Cell Communication and Signaling, 2017
Hedgehog signaling is evolutionarily conserved and plays a pivotal role in cell fate determination, embryonic development, and tissue renewal. As aberrant Hedgehog signaling is tightly associated with a broad range of human diseases, its activities must ...
