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:We hypothesized that the occurrence of IVH would reduce interneuron neurogenesis in the medial ganglionic eminence and diminish the population of parvalbumin+ and somatostatin+ cortical interneurons. Since Sonic Hedgehog promotes the production of cortical interneurons, we also postulated that the activation of Sonic Hedgehog signaling might restore neurogenesis, cortical interneuron population, and neurobehavioral function in premature newborns with IVH.

Project description:The causative role of activated Hedgehog signaling in liver fibrosis was investigated in vivo. Using hydrodynamics-based transfection, a transgenic mouse model has been developed that expresses Sonic Hedgehog (SHH), a ligand for Hedgehog signaling, in the liver. Levels of hepatic fibrosis and fibrosis-related gene expression were assessed in the model.

Project description:Cilia assembly, maintenance and the localization of signal-transduction proteins necessitate a functioning intraflagellar transport (IFT). The IFT machinery moves cargo along a microtubule scaffold from the proximal to the distal end of the cilium. This anterograde transport is facilitated by a large multiprotein complex IFT-B, which consists of 16 proteins in total and recruits motor protein Kinesin-2 for active movement. TTC30A and TTC30B are integral components of this complex and were shown before to have redundant function in context of IFT. One paralogue could compensate the loss of the other, preventing the disruption of IFT-B and thus a severe ciliogenesis defect with no formation of the cilium. Affinity-based protein complex analysis of endogenously tagged cells, generated via CRISPR/Cas9 system as described before, revealed paralogue specific protein interactors proposing the involvement of TTC30A or TTC30B in other ciliary functions, particularly Sonic hedgehog signaling (Shh). Defects in this ciliary signaling pathway are often correlated to synpolydactyly, which intriguingly is also linked to a rare TTC30 variant. In this study we focus on the so far unknown interaction of TTC30A with protein kinase A catalytic subunit α PRKACA, which is a negative regulator of Shh pathway. For an in-depth analysis of this unique interaction and the influence on Shh, we used previously, via the CRISPR/Cas9 system, generated TTC30A or B single- and double-knockout hTERT-RPE1 cells as well as rescue cells harboring the TTC30 mutation. Our systematic approach revealed the paralogue specific influence of TTC30A KO and mutated TTC30A on the activity of PRKACA as well as the uptake of Smoothened into the cilium resulting in a downregulation of Sonic hedgehog signaling. Affinity-based protein complex analysis of wildtype versus mutated TTC30A or TTC30B uncovered differences in interaction pattern. These interactome alterations combined with Shh downregulation suggest a possible mechanism of how mutant TTC30A and respectively TTC30A KO are linked to synpolydactyly.
