CAFs respond to Hh stimulation by increasing the production of ECM.
Stromal hedgehog signalling can support tumour growth.
subsets of colorectal, endometrial, ovarian and pancreatic cancers overexpressed Hh ligand mRNA (data not shown). Quantitative polymerase chain reaction with reverse transcription (RT???PCR) profiling of an independent set of human tissue specimens confirmed that the transcript levels of SHH and/or Indian hedgehog homologue (IHH) ligands were significantly upregulated in subsets of these cancers.
