Shh goes multidirectional in axon guidance

Abstract: The spinal cord is the main pathway for exchange of information between the brain and the rest of the body. Sensory information collected in the body periphery is conveyed to the brain by axonal tracts that ascend along the spinal cord whereas motor information travels from the brain to the periphery in descending tracts. Precise spatial organization of these fiber tracts is thus essential for animal behavior and survival.

“…It will be interesting to determine whether Dhh is also involved in redox homeostasis and whether Dhh and Shh are commutable in SCs for ensuring nerve maintenance and regeneration. The involvement of Shh in the control of nerve growth has been known for a decade (reviewed in Bovolenta and Sanchez-Arrones 5 and Yam and Charron 57 ) and its role in neuroprotection via its secretion by SCs has also been documented ( 22 ). The importance of SCs for nerve regeneration is also well known (reviewed in Glenn and Talbot 17 and Jessen et al 23 ), as is the fact that SCs are sensitive to the redox environment ( 30 , 45 , 48 ).…”

“…Therefore, in the spinal cord, both sources of netrin‐1 cooperate to guide commissural neuron at the midline. Other secreted proteins such as VEGF (Ruiz de Almodovar et al ) and Shh (Charron et al ; Bovolenta and Sanchez‐Arrones ; Sloan et al ; Wu et al ) are expressed at the floor plate and act redundantly with netrin‐1 to attract axons as they get close to the FP.…”
