Hedgehog Signaling Pathway in Drosophila

Science's STKE, 2007
Studies in Drosophila have provided the framework for understanding human development and disease processes governed by the Hedgehog (Hh) family of secreted signaling molecules. The Drosophila proteins that participate in Hh-mediated signal transduction are highlighted in a Connections Map ...

The Hedgehog signalling pathway and cancer

The Journal of Pathology, 2001
The Hedgehog signalling pathway is important in embryological development and is highly conserved through evolution. Recently Patched, a member of the pathway, was found to be important in Gorlin's syndrome. Inherited Patched gene mutations underlie the syndrome, in which a key feature is multiple basal cell carcinomas (BCCs).

Potent Inhibitors of the Hedgehog Signaling Pathway

Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2008
A small family of phenyl quinazolinone ureas is reported as potent modulators of Hedgehog protein function. Preliminary SAR studies of the urea substituent led to a nanomolar Hedgehog antagonist.

Hedgehog signaling pathway in neuroblastoma differentiation

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2010
The hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway is activated in some adult cancers. On the other hand, the Hh signaling pathway plays an important role in the development of the neural crest in embryos. The aim of this study is to show the activation of Hh signaling pathway in neuroblastoma (NB), a pediatric malignancy arising from neural crest cells, and to ...

The Hedgehog and Wnt signalling pathways in cancer

Nature, 2001
The Wnt and Hedgehog (Hh) signalling pathways have long been known to direct growth and patterning during embryonic development. Recent evidence also implicates these pathways in the postembryonic regulation of stem-cell number in epithelia such as those of the skin and intestine, which undergo constant renewal.

Potent agonists of the Hedgehog signaling pathway

Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2009
A family of biaryl substituted 1,4-diaminocyclohexanamides of 3-chlorobenzothiophene-2-carboxylic acid is reported as picomolar modulators of Hedgehog protein function. SAR for the 1,4-diaminocyclohexane group is shown to be exquisitely sensitive to substitution on the 4-amino group, and SAR for the 3-chlorobenzothiophene group is highly specific ...

Hedgehog signaling pathway in neural development and disease

Psychoneuroendocrinology, 2007
A number of developmental cues underlie proper brain morphogenesis and plasticity. Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway plays a critical role in determining proper embryonic patterning and cell fate determination in the central nervous system. Embryonic and adult neural progenitor cells are mostly responsive to Hh signaling, thereby sustaining developmental

Pathways and consequences: Hedgehog signaling in human disease

Trends in Cell Biology, 2002
Signaling pathways that play a fundamental role during development are turning out to underlie many disease states when misregulated. Here, we review some of the recent findings in the Hedgehog (Hh) pathway and the role it plays in different human diseases.

Overview of Hedgehog Signaling Pathway

2011
Initially discovered in Drosophila and later found in all vertebrate model organisms, the Hedgehog (Hh) family of secreted proteins plays critical roles in both embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis [41, 84]. Numerous human genetic disorders and cancer have been associated with aberrant Hh signaling activity [41, 63, 84].

The Hedgehog signalling pathways in human pathology

Current Diagnostic Pathology, 2004
Abstract Rapid progress in developmental biology over the past 10 years has allowed characterization of many of the fundamental pathways that control growth and differentiation. Much of this information has been derived from studies in fruit flies and zebra fish, which has meant that the terminology has been largely impenetrable to histopathologists ...
