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.

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 ...

Ethanol Effects on Early Developmental Stages Studied Using the Zebrafish
Biomedicines, 2022 Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) results from prenatal ethanol exposure. The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is an outstanding in vivo FASD model. Early development produced the three germ layers and embryonic axes patterning.

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.

Sonic Hedgehog Is a Member of the Hh/DD-Peptidase Family That Spans the Eukaryotic and Bacterial Domains of Life. [PDF]
, 2018 Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) coordinates Zn2+ in a manner that resembles that of peptidases. The ability of Shh to undergo autoproteolytic processing is impaired in mutants that affect the Zn2+ coordination, while mutating residues essential for catalytic ...

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Development of the cerebellum is characterized by rapid proliferation of cerebellar granule cell precursors (GCPs) induced by paracrine stimulation of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling from Purkinje cells, in the external granular layer (EGL). Then, granule
