Results

References

Acute myocardial infarction

6–8-week-old male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats (Rat MI Model)

∆ miR-802-5p: ↓ apoptosis after MI via activating Shh signaling pathway via targeting PTCH1, thus decreasing myocardial injury and improving heart function

[57]

Alopecia

DP sphere xenograft to nude mice

↑↑ XIST: ↑ DP mediated hair follicle regeneration via targeting miR-424 to promote Shh expression, thus activating hedgehog signaling

[16]

Breast cancer

5 weeks‐old athymic nude mice

∆ lncRNA‐Hh: ↓ tumor growth

[22]

Breast cancer brain metastasis

6-week-old female BALB/c nu/nu mice

∆ circBCBM1: ↓ tumor volumes and weights

[23]

Cerebrovascular disease

rat cerebral ischemic injury model

miR-153 expression was decreases

↑↑ miR-153: ↓ PTC expression and ↑ activation of Shh signaling pathway and angiogenesis

[58]

Cervical cancer

4-week-old SPF female BALB/c nude mice

↑↑ microRNA: ↓ tumor growth and tumor angiogenesis via targeting ZIC2 and downregulating the Hedgehog signaling pathway

[28]

Diabetes mellitus

Sprague–Dawley male rats

miR-9 and miR-29a: ↓ activation of SHH signaling pathway via ISL1, nociception threshold and peripheral nerve conduction velocity

miR-9 and miR-29a rise AR activity and disease activity by reducing ISL1

[59]

[35]

Inflammatory bowel disease

C57BL/6 wild-type (WT) and iNOS − / − mice

NOD2-iNOS/NO-miR-146a-mediated SHH Signaling is necessary for inflammatory responses

[36]

Liver regeneration

carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-treated rats transplanted with human CP-MSCs (Tx) or saline (non-Tx)

↑↑ miR-125b from CP-MSCs: ↓ activation of Hh signaling, thus ↑ the reduced fibrosis

[60]

Lung cancer

6-week-old female BALB/C nude mice

∆ BLACAT1: ↓ tumor growth and metastasis

[40]

4-week-old BALB/c nude female mice

∆ LINC01426: ↓ tumor size, volume, and weight

[41]

Lung fibrosis

6-week-old female C57BL/6 mice

↑↑ miR-193a: ↑ autophagy and ↓ PQ-induced pulmonary fibrosis

Ligustrazin: ↑ autophagy and ↓ paraquat-induced pulmonary fibrosis

[42]

Medulloblastoma

Ptch1 ± mice, C57BL/6 and PtenFloxp/Floxp mice, GFAP-Cre mice

The effects of miR-18396182 to maintain cell proliferation depends on hedgehog signaling activation

[61]

Athymic nude mice

↑↑ Nkx2-2as: ↓ tumor growth

Gli2/FoxD1/Nkx2-2as axis was found to be involved in the pathogenesis of Shh-subtype MB

[45]

Neuroblastoma

17-day-old chick embryos

↑↑ CDON: ↓ tumor size

[47]

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head

a rat model of GC-induced ONFH

↑↑ miR-378-ASCs-Exos: ↑ osteogenesis via targeting Sufu to increase the Shh signaling pathway

[51]

Osteoporosis

Wistar female rats

Levels of SUFU were upregulated bet levels of miR-874, Shh, Ptch, Smo, BMP2, Runx2, and PCNA were downregulated

↑↑ miR-874: ↑ proliferation and differentiation of via targeting SUFU and activating of Hedgehog signaling pathway

[62]

Parkinson's disease

male specific pathogen-free C57BL/6 mice

↑↑ miR-124: ↑ proliferation and ↓ apoptosis by downregulating EDN2 through activating the Hedgehog signaling pathway

[63]

The transition of dividing neuroepithelial progenitors to differentiated neurons and glia

zebrafish

∆ miR-219: ↑ growth of primary cilia via elevating Shh signaling

[64]

Trigeminal neuralgia

rat model of CCI-IoN

Upregulation of miR-195 and downregulation of Patched1 were seen

↑↑ miR-195: ↑ facial pain development via targeting Patched1 in the Shh signaling pathway
