Hedgehog (Hh) morphogens are involved in embryonic development and stem cell biology and, if misregulated, can contribute to cancer. One important post-translational modification with profound impact on Hh biofunction is its C-terminal cholesteroylation ...

Mapping of the cell population expressing Sonic hedgehog during the embryonic development of heart [PDF]
Sonic hedgehog is one of three members of the Hedgehog family, whose signaling pathway plays a crucial role in controlling the development of vertebrates. Sonic hedgehog has an important role in organizing the developmental processes of majority of organ

Activation of the hedgehog pathway in advanced prostate cancer
Background The hedgehog pathway plays a critical role in the development of prostate. However, the role of the hedgehog pathway in prostate cancer is not clear. Prostate cancer is the second most prevalent cause of cancer death in American men. Therefore,

Epithelial Trafficking of Sonic Hedgehog by Megalin [PDF]
We present here evidence of in vivo epithelial endocytosis and trafficking of non-lipid-modified Sonic hedgehog (ShhN) when infused into rat efferent ducts via microinjection. Initially, exogenous ShhN is detected in endocytic vesicles and early endosomes located near the apical plasma membrane of non-ciliated cells. Within 30-60 min following infusion,

Boc modifies the spectrum of holoprosencephaly in the absence of Gas1 function
Holoprosencephaly is a heterogeneous developmental malformation of the central nervous system characterized by impaired forebrain cleavage, midline facial anomalies and wide phenotypic variation.

Sonic Hedgehog signaling in the mammalian brain [PDF]
J. Neurochem. (2010) 113, 576–590.AbstractThe discovery of a Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathway in the mature vertebrate CNS has paved the way to the characterization of the functional roles of Shh signals in normal and diseased brain. Shh is proposed to participate in the establishment and maintenance of adult neurogenic niches and to regulate ...

Monorail/Foxa2 regulates floorplate differentiation and specification of oligodendrocytes, serotonergic raphe neurones and cranial motoneurones [PDF]
In this study, we elucidate the roles of the winged-helix transcription factor Foxa2 in ventral CNS development in zebrafish. Through cloning of monorail (mol), which we find encodes the transcription factor Foxa2, and phenotypic analysis of mol ...

Molecular classification of hepatocellular adenomas: impact on clinical practice
Hepatocellular adenomas are rare benign liver tumors usually developing in young women using oral contraception. The two main complications are hemorrhage (10–20%) and malignant transformation into hepatocellular carcinoma (

The transcriptional landscape of Shh medulloblastoma
Sonic Hedgehog medulloblastoma (Shh-MB) comprises four subtypes each with distinct clinical traits. Here the authors characterize the genome, transcriptome, and methylome of Shh-MB subtypes, revealing a complex fusion landscape and the molecular ...

Sonic Hedgehog Signaling in Limb Development [PDF]
The gene encoding the secreted protein Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is expressed in the polarizing region (or zone of polarizing activity), a small group of mesenchyme cells at the posterior margin of the vertebrate limb bud. Detailed analyses have revealed that Shh has the properties of the long sought after polarizing region morphogen that specifies ...
