Example sentences for: shh

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

  • In summary, these studies demonstrate that agonist activity in vivo does not depend upon Shh, but that Smo is absolutely required.

  • Having established an in utero assay for Hh signaling, we next investigated whether the agonist could rescue aspects of Shh - or Smo -mutant phenotypes, by monitoring lacZ expression in Smo -/- Ptc1 lacZ /+embryos [ 26 ] and Ptc1 mRNA levels in Shh -/-embryos.

  • The midline defects in Shh -/-embryos were at least partly rescued by agonist treatment (compare Figure 3gand 3h; red arrows).

  • Furthermore, this supports the data showing that the agonist can activate signaling in Shh -/-embryos (Figure 3) and suggests that the agonist function is not only downstream of the Hh protein but also independent of the endogenous Hh-signaling modulators, Tout veloux and HIP, that act via the Hh ligand [ 2 ] . The competition experiment with forskolin showed identical inhibition curves for Hh protein and the agonist, strongly suggesting that the action of the small molecule is upstream of the protein-kinase-A-sensitive step in the pathway.

  • The Hh protein used in the studies described here was bacterially overexpressed amino-terminal human Shh modified at its amino-terminal cysteine by an octyl maleimide moiety [ 21 ] . This lipophilic Shh form showed comparable potency to native Shh in the cell-based reporter assay (data not shown).
