Chondrocyte-like cells in nucleus pulposus and articular chondrocytes have similar transcriptomic profiles and are paracrine-regulated by hedgehog from notochordal cells and subchondral bone

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Objective: The nucleus pulposus (NP) comprises notochordal NP cells (NCs) and chondrocyte-like NP cells (CLCs). Although morphological similarities between CLCs and chondrocytes have been reported, interactions between CLCs and NCs remain unclear.

The evolutionary origin of hedgehog proteins [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2007
SummaryAnimal development is orchestrated largely by diffusible ligands of the Wnt, TGF-β, hedgehog (Hh) and FGF signaling pathways, as well as cell-surface molecules, such as Notch, cadherins, integrins and the immunoglobulin-like proteins [1,2]. Here, we show that Hh proteins are likely to have evolved very early in metazoan evolution by domain ...

Multiprotein GLI Transcriptional Complexes as Therapeutic Targets in Cancer

open access: yesLife, 2022
The Hedgehog signaling pathway functions in both embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis. Importantly, its aberrant activation is also implicated in the progression of multiple types of cancer, including basal cell carcinoma and ...

Hedgehog Signaling Modulates Glial Proteostasis and Lifespan

open access: yesCell Reports, 2020
Summary: The conserved Hedgehog signaling pathway has well-established roles in development. However, its function during adulthood remains largely unknown.

Actions of Hedgehog Proteins on Skeletal Cells [PDF]

open access: yesCritical Reviews in Oral Biology & Medicine, 1999
Recent advances in developmental and molecular biology during embryogenesis and organogenesis have provided new insights into the mechanism of bone formation. Members of the hedgehog gene family were initially characterized as patterning factors in embryonic development, but recently they have been shown to regulate skeletal formation in vertebrates ...

Structural insights into hedgehog ligand sequestration by the human hedgehog-interacting protein HHIP [PDF]

open access: yesNature Structural & Molecular Biology, 2009
Hedgehog (Hh) morphogens have fundamental roles in development, whereas dysregulation of Hh signaling leads to disease. Multiple cell-surface receptors are responsible for transducing and/or regulating Hh signals. Among these, the Hedgehog-interacting protein (Hhip) is a highly conserved, vertebrate-specific inhibitor of Hh signaling.

Gli Proteins: Regulation in Development and Cancer

open access: yesCells, 2019
Gli proteins are transcriptional effectors of the Hedgehog signaling pathway. They play key roles in the development of many organs and tissues, and are deregulated in birth defects and cancer. We review the molecular mechanisms of Gli protein regulation

Loss of Sonic hedgehog leads to alterations in intestinal secretory cell maturation and autophagy. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Intestinal epithelial cells express the Sonic and Indian hedgehog ligands. Despite the strong interest in gut hedgehog signaling in GI diseases, no studies have specifically addressed the singular role of intestinal epithelial cell Sonic hedgehog ...

Cholesterol modification of Hedgehog family proteins [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Investigation, 2002
The Hedgehog (Hh) gene family encodes a group of secreted signaling molecules that are essential for growth and patterning of many different body parts of vertebrate and invertebrate embryos (1). Depending on the context, Hh signals can promote cell proliferation, prevent apoptosis, or induce specific cell fates.
