How can you use “gli” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Although no compelling data have been presented that directly link classic G-protein activation [ 37 ] to the canonical Hh pathway involving Ci/Gli stimulation [ 2 ] , recent studies show that under certain conditions Smo can engage G-protein subunits in a Ptc-dependent manner [ 38 ] and that G-protein-mediated cAMP modulation may underlie certain effects of Hh on neuronal tissue [ 39 ] .
After testing several cell lines for Hh-dependent induction of the target genes Ptc1 and Gli1 [ 2 ] , we identified C3H10T1/2 and TM3 cells as optimal responders.
Using quantitative PCR, Hh-Ag 1.1 was shown clearly to elevate the expression of Gli1 and Ptc1 in a dose-dependent manner (Figure 1c).
We then introduced into each line a plasmid containing a luciferase reporter downstream of multimerized Gli binding sites and a minimal promoter [ 20 ] . An isolated stable clone of the 10T1/2 cell transfectants (referred to as clone S12) gave a 10-20-fold up-regulation of luciferase activity (Figure 1a) when stimulated with Hh protein [ 21 ] for 24 hours.
Additional pathway components are thought to modulate the activity or subcellular distribution of these molecules [ 2 ] . There is positive and negative feedback at the transcriptional level as the Gli1 and Ptc1 genes are direct transcriptional targets of activation of the pathway.
