A highlight on Sonic hedgehog pathway [PDF]
Cell Communication and Signaling, 2018 Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway plays an essential role during vertebrate embryonic development and tumorigenesis. It is already known that Sonic hedgehog (Shh) pathway is important for the evolution of radio and chemo-resistance of several types of ...

Fibrotic scar formation after cerebral ischemic stroke: Targeting the Sonic hedgehog signaling pathway for scar reduction [PDF]
Neural Regeneration ResearchRecent studies have shown that fibrotic scar formation following cerebral ischemic injury has varying effects depending on the microenvironment. However, little is known about how fibrosis is induced and regulated after cerebral ischemic injury.

Inhibition of tetrameric Patched1 by Sonic Hedgehog through an asymmetric paradigm
Nature Communications, 2019 Hedgehog (Hh) controls embryonic development via interaction with its receptor Patched (Ptch). Here the authors report the cryo-EM structure of tetrameric Ptch1 in complex with the palmitoylated N-terminal signaling domain of human Sonic hedgehog (ShhNp)

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

Tumour-associated macrophages exhibit anti-tumoural properties in Sonic Hedgehog medulloblastoma
Nature Communications, 2019 The Sonic Hedgehog subgroup of medulloblastoma are characterised by the high infiltration of tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs). Here, the authors show that TAM numbers in patients are associated with better prognosis and that, consistently, in a ...

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

Sonic Hedgehog activation is implicated in diosgenin-induced megakaryocytic differentiation of human erythroleukemia cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Differentiation therapy is a means to treat cancer and is induced by different agents with low toxicity and more specificity than traditional ones. Diosgenin, a plant steroid, is able to induce megakaryocytic differentiation or apoptosis in human HEL ...

Palmitoylation of Hedgehog proteins by Hedgehog acyltransferase: roles in signalling and disease [PDF]
Open Biology, 2021 Hedgehog acyltransferase (Hhat), a member of the membrane-bound O-acyltransferase (MBOAT) family, catalyses the covalent attachment of palmitate to the N-terminus of Hedgehog proteins.
