Small GTPases are known to have pivotal roles in intracellular trafficking, and several members of the small GTPases superfamily such as Rab10 [1,2<sup>•</sup>], Rab11 [3-5], Rab34 [6<sup>•</sup>,7], Rab8 [3,8], Rab23 [9-12], RSG1 [13-15], Arl13b [16-22], and Arl6 [22,23] were recently reported to mediate primary cilia function and/or Hh signalling.
Notably, Rab23 and Arl13b have been implicated in ciliopathy-associated human diseases and could regulate Hh signalling cascade in multifaceted manners.
Dysregulation of the seven-transmembrane (7TM) receptor Smoothened (SMO) and other components of the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway contributes to the development of cancers including basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and medulloblastoma (MB).
At p60, TPR was lower than baseline for HH conditions (<i>p</i> < 0.05), whereas after exercise in NN, and NNsubmax conditions, TPR recovered to baseline by p60.
The results show that the activity of Hh signaling is decreased in the ovaries in physiological aging and POF models, which is consistent with the trend of expression levels of the germline stem cell markers Mvh and Oct4.
At p60, TPR was lower than baseline for HH conditions (<i>p</i> < 0.05), whereas after exercise in NN, and NNsubmax conditions, TPR recovered to baseline by p60.
Here a functional cross-talk is shown for ZNF521 with the HH pathway, where it interacts with GLI1 and GLI2, the major HH transcriptional effectors and enhances the activity of HH signalling.
Gli1 is phosphorylated at S481 by Plk1, and this phosphorylation facilitates the nuclear export and binding of Gli1 with its negative regulator Sufu, leading to a reduction in Hh signaling activity.
Knockdown of Gpc1 reduced Hh pathway activity, and phenocopied the effect of miR-324-5p on osteogenesis, indicating that miR-324-5p regulates Hh signalling in mouse via direct targeting of Gpc1.

The increased macrophage infiltration in mice deficient for Hh signalling in myocytes was associated with increased VEGFA expression and a transiently increased angiogenesis, demonstrating that Shh limits inflammation and angiogenesis indirectly by signalling to myocytes.
Furthermore, the increased oxidative stress and decrease in anti-oxidant stress system under the HH condition were also reversely abrogated by GM1 treatment via suppressing accumulation of ROS, MDA and elevating the levels of SOD and GSH.
This report describes the development of a target-protein-oriented natural-products-isolation (TPO-NAPI) method for Hedgehog inhibitors and the direct GLI1 inhibitor, 5'- O-methyl-3-hydroxyflemingin A (3), which inhibited hedgehog (Hh) signal transduction and diminished characteristics of cancer stem cells.
The most frequently identified MSDs were Pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) with 11 papers describing Parkinsonism, Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) (7 papers), and Wilson's disease (6 papers).
