[58] [59] 5E1, a monoclonal antibody against Shh, has been shown to inhibit medulloblastoma growth in mouse models. [60] 5E1 also restricts the proliferation of pancreatic cancer cells in mice. [61] While shown to be effective in the lab, both these Shh inhibitors are yet to make their way to human trials.
The SHH gene is a member of the hedgehog gene family with five variations of DNA sequence alterations or splice variants. [37] SHH is located on chromosome seven and initiates the production of Sonic Hedgehog protein. [37] This protein sends short- and long-range signals to embryonic tissues to regulate development. [38]
Silmitasertib is in clinical trials for use as an adjunct to chemotherapy in the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer), [1] is in phase I and II clinical trials for the treatment of recurrent Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) medulloblastoma, [2] [3] and in preclinical development for other cancers, including hematological and lymphoid ...
Holoprosencephaly, the failure of the embryonic prosencephalon to divide to form cerebral hemispheres, occurs with a frequency of about 1 in 8,000 live births and about 1 in 200 spontaneous abortions in humans and is commonly linked to mutations in genes involved in the hedgehog pathway, including SHH and PTCH.

It also is the target of vismodegib, the first hedgehog pathway inhibitor to be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). [8] Smoothened (Smo) is a key transmembrane protein that is a key component of the hedgehog signaling pathway, a cell-cell communication system critical for embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis.
Noggin, a known inhibitor of BMP4, is found within the matrix cells of the hair bulb. Other important factors to consider in the development of hair is the expression of Shh (sonic hedgehog), BMP7, BMP2, WNT, and β-catenin as these are required in early stage morphogenesis. [40]

Although expression of Shh pathway proteins has not been reported to oscillate in the pre-somitic mesoderm, they are expressed within the pre-somitic mesoderm during somitogenesis. When the notochord is ablated during somitogenesis in the chick embryo, the proper number of somites forms, but the segmentation clock is delayed for the posterior ...
