Project description:Background; Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common cancer in humans. The pathogenesis of BCC is associated with the sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway. Vismodegib, a smoothened inhibitor, that targets this pathway is now in clinical use for advanced BCC patients, but its efficacy is limited. Therefore, new therapeutic options for this cancer are required. Methods; We studied gene expression profiling of BCC tumour tissue coupled with laser capture microdissection to identify tumor specific receptor tyrosine kinase expression that can be targeted by small molecule inhibitors. The expression of selected molecules was confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) and by immunohistochemistry. The action of kinase inhibitors was examined on primary normal human epidermal keratinocytes. Results; We found a >250 fold change increase (false discovery rate <10-4) of the oncogene, anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) as well as its ligands, pleiotrophin and midkine in BCC compared to microdissected normal epidermis. qRT-PCR confirmed increased expression of ALK (p<0.05). Stronger staining of phosphorylated ALK in BCC tumour nests than normal skin was observed by immunohistochemistry. Additionally, Crizotinib, an FDA-approved ALK inhibitor, reduced keratinocyte proliferation in culture, whereas a c-Met, another receptor tyrosine kinase, inhibitor did not. Crizotinib significantly reduced the expression of GLI1 and CCND2 mRNA by approximately 60% and 20%, respectively (p<0.05). Conclusions; Our data suggest that ALK may increase GLI1 expression in parallel with the conventional SHH-pathway and promotes keratinocyte proliferation. Furthermore, an ALK inhibitor alone or in combination with targeting SHH-pathway molecules may be a potential treatment for BCC patients. Laser capture microdissection was performed on 5 cases of nodular/superficial BCC, 5 cases of infiltrative BCC.

Project description:Shh and its receptor Ptch1 define two adjacent mutually exclusive domains: Shh+Ptch1- and Shh-Ptch1+ of E11.5 mouse brain. Gata3 ChIP-seq experiments and RNA-seq assays on Gata3-knockdown cells revealed that Gata3 up-regulates genes enriched in Shh-Ptch1+ domain. Our work is the first genome-wide characterization of gene regulatory mechanisms in Shh pathway underlying the pattern formation of early mouse brain.

Project description:The main cell of origin of the Sonic hedgehog (SHH) subgroup of medulloblastoma (MB) is granule cell precursors (GCPs), a SHH-dependent transient amplifying population in the developing cerebellum. SHH-MBs can be further subdivided based on molecular and clinical parameters, as well as location since SHH-MBs occur preferentially in the lateral cerebellum (hemispheres). Our analysis of adult patient data suggests that tumors with Smoothened (SMO) mutations form more specifically in the hemispheres than those with Patched 1 (PTCH1) mutations. Using sporadic mouse models of SHH-MB with the two mutations commonly seen in adult MB, constitutive activation of Smo (SmoM2) or loss-of-Ptch1, we found that regardless of timing of induction or type of mutation, tumors developed primarily in the hemispheres with SmoM2-mutants indeed showing a stronger specificity. We further uncovered that GCPs in the hemispheres are more susceptible to high level SHH signaling compared to GCPs in the medial cerebellum (vermis), as more SmoM2 or Ptch1-mutant hemisphere cells remain undifferentiated and show increased tumorigenicity when transplanted. Finally, we identified location-specific GCP gene expression profiles, and found that deletion of the genes most highly expressed in the hemispheres (Nr2f2) or vermis (Engrailed1) showed opposing effects on GCP differentiation. Our studies thus provide new insights into intrinsic differences within GCPs that impact on SHH-MB progression.

Project description:Physiologically, trophoblast progenitor cells differentiate into placental villous cytotrophoblast cells (CTBs). CTBs either differentiate into invasive lineage to yields extravillous cytotrophoblast cells (EVTs), or undergo cell fusion lineage to yields syncytiotrophoblast cells (STBs)，Sonic hedgehog (Shh) together with indian hedgehog (Ihh) and desert hedgehog (Dhh) consist of ligand of hedgehog signaling pathway, which plays pivotal roles in regulating cell proliferation, cell differentiation, organogenesis and development, even involving in tumorigenesis and progression. previous study had summarized and indicatedthat hedgehog proteins played important roles in regulating hematopoiesis, vasculogenesis and angiogenesis during embryogenesis and development. Herein, we investigate the effect of the Sonic Hedgehog morphogen inhibitor Cyclopamine on JAR cells

Project description:Study of the tetrapod limb has contributed a great deal to our understanding of developmental pathways and how changes to these pathways affect morphology. Most data on tetrapod limb development is known from amniotes, with far less known about genetic mechanisms of limb development in amphibians. To better understand the mechanisms of limb development in anuran amphibians, we use cyclopamine to inhibit Hedgehog signaling at various stages of limb development in Xenopus. We use transcriptomic analysis following cyclopamine exposure to understand the downstream effects of Hedgehog inhibition on gene expression. We find many aspects of Hedgehog function appear to be conserved with respect to amniotes, including the responses of ptc genes, gremlin, bmp2, and the autoregulatory property of shh. We show that, as was proposed based on experiments in chick, Sonic hedgehog plays two distinct roles in limb development â specification of digit number and specification of digit identity. In contrast to these points of conservation, we find that Hedgehog signaling is required for the maintenance of early limb bud outgrowth in Xenopus, a requirement not known for any other tetrapod. Experiment Overall Design: Eight microarray experiments were performed using RNA extracted from batches of hindlimbs dissected from Xenopus laevis tadpoles. Four of these were experimental groups exposed to cyclopamine at 1 µg/ml for 24 hours before animal fixation, and four were experimental groups exposed to the ethanol, the cyclopamine vehicle, at the same concentration used for cyclopamine vehicle for 24 hours. Each pool of RNA consisted of material from 18-22 hindlimb buds. Two experimental groups and two control groups were from one clutch of tadpoles, and the other four pools were from another clutch. Both samples within each of four paired groups (experimental vs. control) were exposed and processed simultaneously.

Project description:This experiment was designed to investigate how inhibition of Shh signalling result in loss of flight feathers, and to identify genes involved in flight feather development. We carried out cyclopamine treatment of wing buds at HH19 which gives rise to 2 digit wings with absence of flight feathers. The posterior forewing regions of control and cyclopamine treated wings were analysed at E10.5, the developmental stage at which flight feathers first become apparent. Control leg tissue was also included in the analysis to enrich data for genes involved in general feather development. To enrich further for genes with roles in flight feather development, we also included samples from the feathered legs of Pekin bantam chickens. 3 biological replicates of pooled wing/leg sections were analysed and 12 samples were sequenced.
