Sonic hedgehog signaling in astrocytes [PDF]
AbstractAstrocytes are complex cells that perform a broad array of essential functions in the healthy and injured nervous system. The recognition that these cells are integral components of various processes, including synapse formation, modulation of synaptic activity, and response to injury, underscores the need to identify the molecular signaling ...

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

RXR Gamma Enables Oligodendrocyte Differentiation by Suppressing Sonic Hedgehog Signaling. [PDF]
Using pharmacogenetic approaches, Baldassarro et al. demonstrate that RXRγ suppresses the SHH signaling pathway in OPCs to ensure their efficient differentiation following T3 stimulation. Accordingly, Rxrg−/− OPCs displayed compromised differentiation which was normalized by the pharmacological inhibition of the hyperactive SHH pathway.

Lauren Malave et al. examine the impact of sonic hedgehog signaling in the dorsal striatum in L-Dopa induced dyskinesia (LID) animal models. Their results suggest that increasing sonic hedgehog signaling can reduce the severity of LID and abnormal ...

Inhibitors of Hedgehog acyltransferase block Sonic Hedgehog signaling [PDF]
Inhibition of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling is of great clinical interest. Here we exploit Hedgehog acyltransferase (Hhat)-mediated Shh palmitoylation, a modification critical for Shh signaling, as a new target for Shh pathway inhibition. A target-oriented high-throughput screen was used to identify small-molecule inhibitors of Hhat.

The transcriptional activator Gli2 modulates T-cell receptor signalling through attenuation of AP-1 and NFκB activity [PDF]
Different tissues contain diverse and dynamic cellular niches, providing distinct signals to tissue-resident or migratory infiltrating immune cells.

Effect of sonic hedgehog/β-TCP composites on bone healing within the critical-sized rat femoral defect [PDF]
The creation of entirely synthetically derived bone substitute materials which are as effective as autologous bone grafts is desirable. Osteogenesis involves the concerted action of several proteins within a signaling cascade.

Gli1 mediates lung cancer cell proliferation and sonic hedgehog-dependent mesenchymal cell activation. [PDF]
Non-Small-Cell-Lung-Cancer (NSCLC) represents approximately 85% of all lung cancers and remains poorly understood. While signaling pathways operative during organ development, including Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) and associated Gli transcription factors (Gli1 ...
