The adventures of sonic hedgehog in development and repair. IV. Sonic hedgehog processing, secretion, and function in the stomach.
Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is recognized as one of the main morphogens that regulates cell differentiation during early development of the stomach. In the adult stomach, Shh is expressed and secreted from the acid-producing parietal cells, where it is believed to play an essential role in gastric tissue homeostasis and normal differentiation of the epithelium. The present Themes article focuses on re...
متن کاملDown-regulation of endodermal Shh is required for gland formation in chicken stomach
During the development of the proventriculus (glandular stomach) of the chicken embryo, the endodermal epithelium invades into the surrounding mesenchyme and forms glands. The glandular epithelial cells produce pepsinogen, while the non-glandular (luminal) epithelial cells secrete mucus. Sonic hedgehog is expressed uniformly in the proventricular epithelium before gland formation, but its expre...
متن کاملPerformance of methylation and expression fluctuations of sonic hedgehog genes in gastric adenocarcinoma
Gastric cancer (GC) is considered as one of the most serious cancers, and in Iran, due to environmental factors in different regions, it has a high frequency. Apart from environmental factors, genetic and epigenetic ones also play a key role in the development of carcinogenesis of GC. In this regard, the study of functioning of the molecular mechanisms involved in the carcinogenesis and also tu...
متن کاملThe role of the desert hedgehog signaling pathway during degeneration and regeneration of peripheral nerves
The desert hedgehog (Dhh) signaling pathway is involved in the development of peripheral nerves (PNs). Dhh-null mice show abnormal neuronal development and perineurial barrier function. As it was previously shown that dhh is mainly expressed in developmental nerves and Sonic hedgehog protein (dhh homologous) has therapeutic effects in neuronal survival, we attempted to investigate the possible ...
