Abstract

Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling is an essential central nervous system (CNS) pathway involved during embryonic development and later life stages. Further, it regulates cell division, cellular differentiation, and neuronal integrity. During CNS development, Smo-Shh signaling is significant in the proliferation of neuronal cells such as oligodendrocytes and glial cells. The initiation of the downstream signalling cascade through the 7-transmembrane protein Smoothened (Smo) promotes neuroprotection and restoration during neurological disorders. The dysregulation of Smo-Shh is linked to the proteolytic cleavage of GLI (glioma-associated homolog) into GLI3 (repressor), which suppresses target gene expression, leading to the disruption of cell growth processes. Smo-Shh aberrant signalling is responsible for several neurological complications contributing to physiological alterations like increased oxidative stress, neuronal excitotoxicity, neuroinflammation, and apoptosis. Moreover, activating Shh receptors in the brain promotes axonal elongation and increases neurotransmitters released from presynaptic terminals, thereby exerting neurogenesis, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, and autophagy responses. Smo-Shh activators have been shown in preclinical and clinical studies to help prevent various neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders. Redox signalling has been found to play a critical role in regulating the activity of the Smo-Shh pathway and influencing downstream signalling events. In the current study ROS, a signalling molecule, was also essential in modulating the SMO-SHH gli signaling pathway in neurodegeneration. As a result of this investigation, dysregulation of the pathway contributes to the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and Huntington's disease (HD).Thus, Smo-Shh signalling activators could be a potential therapeutic intervention to treat neurocomplications of brain disorders.

摘要

声波刺猬(Shh)信号通路是胚胎发育和后期生命阶段中中枢神经系统(CNS)所必需的关键通路。此外,它还调节细胞分裂、细胞分化和神经元完整性。在中枢神经系统发育过程中,Smo-Shh 信号通路在神经元细胞如少突胶质细胞和神经胶质细胞的增殖中起着重要作用。通过 7 跨膜蛋白 Smoothened(Smo)启动下游信号级联反应,促进神经退行性疾病中的神经保护和恢复。Smo-Shh 的失调与 GLI(神经胶质瘤相关同系物)的蛋白水解切割有关,GLI 切割成 GLI3(抑制物)会抑制靶基因的表达,导致细胞生长过程的破坏。Smo-Shh 的异常信号通路与几种神经并发症有关,这些并发症导致生理改变,如氧化应激增加、神经元兴奋性毒性、神经炎症和细胞凋亡。此外,在大脑中激活 Shh 受体可促进轴突伸长并增加从突触前末端释放的神经递质,从而发挥神经发生、抗氧化、抗炎和自噬反应。临床前和临床研究表明,Smo-Shh 激活剂有助于预防各种神经退行性和神经精神疾病。氧化还原信号已被发现在调节 Smo-Shh 通路的活性和影响下游信号事件中起着关键作用。在本研究中,ROS,一种信号分子,在调节 SMO-SHH 神经变性中的 gli 信号通路方面也很重要。由于这项研究,该通路的失调导致了各种神经退行性疾病的发病机制,包括阿尔茨海默病(AD)、帕金森病(PD)和亨廷顿病(HD)。因此,Smo-Shh 信号通路激活剂可能是治疗脑疾病神经并发症的潜在治疗干预措施。
