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.

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

RUNX3 gene expression confers an independent Overall survival advantage in non-M3 adult acute myeloid leukemia patients in Egypt. [PDF]
Egyptian Journal of Cancer and Biomedical Research, 2020 Pretreatment bone marrow samples from 46 newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients were analyzed by qRT-PCR. The aim of the present study was to evaluate mRNA expression of RUNX1,2 and 3 along with the hedgehog ligands Indian hedgehog(IHH ...

Hedgehog signaling pathway as a potential target in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer
Tumor Biology, 2017 The sonic hedgehog signaling pathway is critical for cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and organ development during embryogenesis. Aberrant activation of the sonic hedgehog pathway has been associated with a variety of human cancers.
