Expression of Hedgehog Proteins in the Human Thymus [PDF]
Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry, 2003 The Hedgehog (Hh) family of secreted proteins includes intercellular signaling molecules that specify cell fate and patterning during the development of many tissues. In this study we show that the different components of the Hh signaling pathway are expressed in human thymus. The three mammalian Hh proteins, Sonic (Shh), Indian (Ihh), and Desert (Dhh)

Nilotinib, an approved leukemia drug, inhibits smoothened signaling in Hedgehog-dependent medulloblastoma. [PDF]
, 2019 Dysregulation of the seven-transmembrane (7TM) receptor Smoothened (SMO) and other components of the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway contributes to the development of cancers including basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and medulloblastoma (MB).

Induction of Osteogenic Differentiation by Hedgehog Proteins
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1997 In this study we asked whether members of the hedgehog gene family are involved in osteogenesis. C3H10T1/2 cells and MC3T3-E1 cells expressed the putative hedgehog receptor patched (Ptc) gene. Medium conditioned by chicken embryo fibroblast cultures expressing either Indian hedgehog or Sonic hedgehog stimulated alkaline phosphatase (APase) activity in ...

Shh production and Gli signaling is activated in vivo in lung, enhancing the Th2 response during a murine model of allergic asthma [PDF]
, 2017 The pathophysiology of allergic asthma is driven by T-helper 2 (Th2) immune responses following aeroallergen inhalation. The mechanisms that initiate, potentiate and regulate airways allergy are incompletely characterized.

RETRACTED: TMEM107 inhibits EMT and invasion of NSCLC through regulating the Hedgehog pathway
Thoracic Cancer, 2021 Background Transmembrane protein 107 (TMEM107) is a key regulator of the cilium composition and Hedgehog signaling. Lower TMEM107 gene copies are correlated with poor prognosis in non‐small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). However, TMEM107 protein expression,

The Binding Mode of the Sonic Hedgehog Inhibitor Robotnikinin, a Combined Docking and QM/MM MD Study
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2017 Erroneous activation of the Hedgehog pathway has been linked to a great amount of cancerous diseases and therefore a large number of studies aiming at its inhibition have been carried out. One leverage point for novel therapeutic strategies targeting the
