Hedgehog target gene

The evolutionarily conserved Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathway is essential for embryogenesis and orofacial development. SHH ligand secreted from the surface ectoderm activates pathway activity in the underlying cranial neural crest cell (cNCC)-derived mesenchyme of the developing upper lip and palate. Disruption of Shh signaling causes orofacial clefts, but the biological action of Shh signaling and the full set of Shh target genes that mediate normal and abnormal orofacial morphogenesis have not been described.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally by binding to target mRNAs in a sequence-specific manner. A large number of genes appear to be the target of miRNAs, and an essential role for miRNAs in the regulation of various conserved cell signaling cascades, such as mitogen-activated protein kinase, Notch and Hedgehog
