HH, Hedgehog signaling: Click to Expand ⟱
Source: CGL-CF
Type: HH
Sonic hedgehog, Shh; Indian hedgehog, Ihh; Desert hedgehog, Dhh ; Hh signaling pathway is able to regulate the EMT. Hh signaling-related factors, SHH, SMO and GLI1.
Hedgehog signaling is a crucial pathway in embryonic development and tissue homeostasis, but its dysregulation has been implicated in various cancers. The Hedgehog (Hh) pathway is activated by the binding of Hedgehog ligands (such as Sonic Hedgehog, Indian Hedgehog, and Desert Hedgehog) to their receptors, primarily Patched (PTCH) and Smoothened (SMO).

-Hedgehog pathway is crucial for the maintenance of stem cell populations. When deregulated, it can help sustain cancer stem cells (CSCs) that possess self-renewal properties, drive tumor recurrence, and confer resistance to conventional therapies.

-Inhibitors of the pathway, such as vismodegib and sonidegib, have been developed and are used in clinical settings, particularly for treating advanced BCC and other Hedgehog-dependent tumors.
