Sonic hedgehog carried by microparticles prevents angiotensin II-induced hypertension and endothelial dysfunction in mice [PDF]
Microparticles (MPs) are small fragments generated from the plasma membrane after cell stimulation. Among the candidate proteins harbored by MPs, we recently showed that morphogen Sonic hedgehog is present in MPs generated from activated/apoptotic human ...

Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the major component of the tumor stroma. This review will highlight the CAF subtypes within the tumor microenvironment and their role in tumor progression. CAF subtype induction by extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their significance, which we reported previously, are also discussed.

Pax1 and Pax9 activate Bapx1 to induce chondrogenic differentiation in the sclerotome. [PDF]
We have previously shown that the paired-box transcription factors Pax1 and Pax9 synergistically act in the proper formation of the vertebral column. Nevertheless, downstream events of the Pax1/Pax9 action and their target genes remain to be elucidated ...

PRRX2 is highly expressed in pancreatic cancer and correlates with patient prognosis. PRRX2 promotes pancreatic cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis, and inhibits pancreatic cancer cell senescence. PRRX2 transcriptionally regulates GLI2 and activates the Hedgehog pathway.

The Sonic Hedgehog Pathway Stimulates Prostate Tumor Growth by Paracrine Signaling and Recaptures Embryonic Gene Expression in Tumor Myofibroblasts [PDF]
The Hedgehog (Hh) pathway contributes to prostate cancer growth and progression. The presence of robust Shh expression in both normal prostate and localized cancer challenged us to explain the unique growth promoting effect in cancer.

Calcium oscillations coordinate feather mesenchymal cell movement by SHH dependent modulation of gap junction networks [PDF]
Collective cell migration mediates multiple tissue morphogenesis processes. Yet how multi-dimensional mesenchymal cell movements are coordinated remains mostly unknown.

Trio exome sequencing allowed the identification of two novel compound heterozygous variants in PIK3C2A, defining the fifth family presenting a PIK3C2A‐related syndrome characterized by pulverulent cataracts and deafness. Functional testing revealed impaired PI metabolism and primary dysfunction phenotype.

Hedgehog Acyltransferase Promotes Uptake of Palmitoyl-CoA across the Endoplasmic Reticulum Membrane
Summary: Attachment of palmitate to the N terminus of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is essential for Shh signaling. Shh palmitoylation is catalyzed on the luminal side of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by Hedgehog acyltransferase (Hhat), an ER-resident enzyme ...

Polydactylous limbs in Strong's Luxoid mice result from ectopic polarizing activity [PDF]
Strong's Luxoid (1st^D) is a semidominant mouse mutation in which heterozygotes show preaxial hindlimb polydactyly, and homozygotes show fore- and hindlimb polydactyly.
