Cooperative Hedgehog-EGFR signaling.
It has been known for many years that cooperative interactions between oncogenes (e.g. RAS, MYC, BCL2) can fuel cancer growth (1-5), but the restricted druggability of many of those interacting cancer genes has hampered translation of combined targeting to medical cancer therapy. The identification and characterization of cooperative cancer signaling pathways amenable to medical therapy is ther...
متن کامل13-P132 Sonic Hedgehog is essential in lung branching morphogenesis
The optic chiasm is an important midline choice point where retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons from each eye diverge to targets on both sides of the brain, setting up binocular vision. While several cues essential for guidance at the optic chiasm have been identified, it is clear other signals are required. We have begun to investigate the role of the highly related homophilic cell adhesion mole...
متن کاملNanoscale Organization of Hedgehog Is Essential for Long-Range Signaling
Hedgehog (Hh) plays crucial roles in tissue-patterning and activates signaling in Patched (Ptc)-expressing cells. Paracrine signaling requires release and transport over many cell diameters away by a process that requires interaction with heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs). Here, we examine the organization of functional, fluorescently tagged variants in living cells by using optical imaging...
متن کاملHedgehog signaling is essential for endothelial tube formation during vasculogenesis.
During embryonic development, the first blood vessels are formed through the aggregation and subsequent assembly of angioblasts (endothelial precursors) into a network of endothelial tubes, a process known as vasculogenesis. These first vessels generally form in mesoderm that is adjacent to endodermal tissue. Although specification of the angioblast lineage is independent of endoderm interactio...
متن کاملSonic hedgehog signaling is essential for hair development
BACKGROUND The skin is responsible for forming a variety of epidermal structures that differ amongst vertebrates. In each case the specific structure (for example scale, feather or hair) arises from an epidermal placode as a result of epithelial-mesenchymal interactions with the underlying dermal mesenchyme. Expression of members of the Wnt, Hedgehog and bone morphogenetic protein families (Wnt...
