Sonic Hedgehog Induces Capillary Morphogenesis by Endothelial Cells through Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase
28 Feb 2003
Abstract excerpt
Sonic hedgehog (Shh) acts as a morphogen in many cell types. Recent studies have shown that hedgehog signaling is involved in vascular development as well as postnatal angiogenesis. However, the direct action of Shh on cultured endothelial cells has not been clearly shown. To address this issue, we examined the effect of Shh on morphological changes by murine brain capillary endothelial cells (IBE cells) and...
