CUI: C4721806
Disease: Carcinoma, Basal Cell
Carcinoma, Basal Cell
0.400 Biomarker disease BEFREE Downregulation of Sam68 impacts the growth and survival of human tumor keratinocytes and genetic ablation of Sam68 delays the onset of basal cell carcinomas (BCC) in Gli2-transgenic mice. 31436046 2019
CUI: C4721806
Disease: Carcinoma, Basal Cell
Carcinoma, Basal Cell
0.400 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Lastly, we found prominent nuclear activity of GLI2, YAP and β-catenin, concomitant with increased ROCK signalling and stromal fibrosis in human BCC. 28820907 2017
CUI: C4721806
Disease: Carcinoma, Basal Cell
Carcinoma, Basal Cell
0.400 Biomarker disease BEFREE The transcription factors GLI1 and GLI2 have been implicated in both the initiation and progression of several cancers, including basal cell carcinoma. 23792444 2014
CUI: C4721806
Disease: Carcinoma, Basal Cell
Carcinoma, Basal Cell
0.400 Biomarker disease BEFREE The staining for Gli2 in the BCC group was completely negative, but indicated the presence of Gli2 in the control patients (1.15 Gli2+ cells/100 cells). 24203628 2013
CUI: C4721806
Disease: Carcinoma, Basal Cell
Carcinoma, Basal Cell
0.400 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE GLI2 (GLI-Kruppel family member 2), a zinc finger transcription factor that mediates Hedgehog signaling, is implicated in the progression of an ever-growing number of human malignancies, including prostate and pancreatic cancer, as well as basal cell carcinoma of the skin. 19797115 2009
CUI: C4721806
Disease: Carcinoma, Basal Cell
Carcinoma, Basal Cell
0.400 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Primary human keratinocytes retrovirally expressing GLI1(-) and GLI2(-) showed elevated levels of beta-tubulin III and ARC but not Neurofilament or GAP-43, suggesting that beta-tubulin III and Arc may be early targets of aberrant Gli expression in BCC, whereas expression of Neurofilament and GAP-43 are either later, downstream targets or under control of alternative pathways. 19479712 2009
CUI: C4721806
Disease: Carcinoma, Basal Cell
Carcinoma, Basal Cell
0.400 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Our results reveal a key role of GLI2 in activation of the activin/BMP antagonist FST in response to HH signaling and provide new evidence for a regulatory interaction between HH and activin/BMP signaling in hair follicle development and BCC. 18319260 2008
CUI: C4721806
Disease: Carcinoma, Basal Cell
Carcinoma, Basal Cell
0.400 Biomarker disease BEFREE In order to examine the function of alpha v beta 6, we transfected the transcription factors Gli1 or Gli2 into NTERT, human keratinocytes to generate a BCC model. 18451156 2008
CUI: C4721806
Disease: Carcinoma, Basal Cell
Carcinoma, Basal Cell
0.400 PosttranslationalModification disease BEFREE We could now demonstrate that Gli2 gene silencing in BCC tissues made the tumor sensitive to TRAIL (tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand)-mediated cell death by downregulating cFlip. 18264131 2008
CUI: C4721806
Disease: Carcinoma, Basal Cell
Carcinoma, Basal Cell
0.400 Biomarker disease BEFREE There is indication in the literature that preventing Gli2 function may inhibit BCC formation and growth in vivo; however, the mechanism is unclear and difficult to study in humans. 17721996 2008

Disease: Carcinoma, Basal Cell
Carcinoma, Basal Cell
0.400 Biomarker disease BEFREE The zinc-finger transcription factor Gli2 has been identified as critical mediator of the Hh signal at the distal end of the pathway, but the molecular mechanisms by which Gli2 regulates cell proliferation or induces epidermal malignancies such as basal cell carcinoma are still unclear. 14691458 2004
