Identification of a potent antagonist of smoothened in hedgehog signaling

Cell & Bioscience, 2021
Background Hedgehog signaling is essential to the regulation of embryonic development, tissue homeostasis, and stem cell self-renewal, making it a prime target for developing cancer therapeutics.

Cortisol regulates neonatal lung development via Smoothened [PDF]

Respiratory Research
Background Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS), one of the main causes of neonatal death, is clinically characterized by progressive dyspnea and cyanosis 1 to 2 h after birth.

Patched 1 reduces the accessibility of cholesterol in the outer leaflet of membranes

eLife, 2021
A long-standing mystery in vertebrate Hedgehog signaling is how Patched 1 (PTCH1), the receptor for Hedgehog ligands, inhibits the activity of Smoothened, the protein that transmits the signal across the membrane. We previously proposed (Kinnebrew et al.,

Hedgehog signalling controls sinoatrial node development and atrioventricular cushion formation

Open Biology, 2021
Smoothened is a key receptor of the hedgehog pathway, but the roles of Smoothened in cardiac development remain incompletely understood. In this study, we found that the conditional knockout of Smoothened from the mesoderm impaired the development of the

Identification of Novel Smoothened Ligands Using Structure-Based Docking. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
The seven transmembrane protein Smoothened is required for Hedgehog signaling during embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis. Inappropriate activation of the Hedgehog signalling pathway leads to cancers such as basal cell carcinoma and ...

High hedgehog signaling is transduced by a multikinase-dependent switch controlling the apico-basal distribution of the GPCR smoothened

eLife, 2022
The oncogenic G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) Smoothened (SMO) is a key transducer of the hedgehog (HH) morphogen, which plays an essential role in the patterning of epithelial structures.

Sonic Hedgehog Signaling in Cerebellar Development and Cancer

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
The sonic hedgehog (SHH) pathway regulates the development of the central nervous system in vertebrates. Aberrant regulation of SHH signaling pathways often causes neurodevelopmental diseases and brain tumors.

Case Report: Prenatal Diagnosis of Postaxial Polydactyly With Bi-Allelic Variants in Smoothened (SMO)

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Postaxial polydactyly is a common congenital malformation which involves complex genetic factors. This retrospective study analyzed the cytogenetic and molecular results of a Chinese fetus diagnosed with postaxial polydactyly of all four limbs.

Connexin 43 and Sonic Hedgehog Pathway Interplay in Glioblastoma Cell Proliferation and Migration

Biology, 2021
Glioblastoma (GBM) represents the most common primary brain tumor within the adult population. Current therapeutic options are still limited by high rate of recurrences and signalling axes that promote GBM aggressiveness.

Increasing Ciliary ARL13B Expression Drives Active and Inhibitor-Resistant Smoothened and GLI into Glioma Primary Cilia

Cells, 2023
ADP-ribosylation factor-like protein 13B (ARL13B), a regulatory GTPase and guanine exchange factor (GEF), enriches in primary cilia and promotes tumorigenesis in part by regulating Smoothened (SMO), GLI, and Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signaling.
