HHIP’s Dynamic Role in Epithelial Wound Healing Reveals a Potential Mechanism of COPD Susceptibility
2024-09-09
Abstract excerpt
A genetic variant near HHIP has been consistently identified as associated with increased risk for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), the third leading cause of death worldwide. However HHIP’s role in COPD pathogenesis remains elusive. Canonically, HHIP is a negative regulator of the hedgehog pathway and downstream GLI1 and GLI2 activation. The hedgehog pathway plays an important role in wound healing,...
