    Abstract Background: Biofluids collected in a non-invasive fashion are potentially valuable samples for assaying genomic alterations for early detection and monitoring of cancer. The low cellularity and nucleic acid content in biofluids, the high copy number of the mitochondrial genome (mtgenome) and its noted early imprints in cancer make this molecule theoretically more sensitive than nuclear targets to measure for early cancer detection.
    Objective: This review explores mtgenome analysis in biofluids and addresses the question of whether targeting the mtgenome in biofluids is superior or equivalent to analysis of nuclear genomic alterations.
    Methods: The literature was retrieved from PubMed using a combination of the following keywords: mtDNA, mutation, deletion, content, copy number, cancer, biofluids, bodily fluids and the specific cancers described here. Studies that analyzed mtgenome alterations in biofluids were included. Analytical methods available for assaying mtgenome changes in biofluids are discussed.
    Results: Despite the limited data available, mtgenome changes in biofluids have been demonstrated in a wide variety of cancer patients.
    Conclusion: Mtgenome analysis in biofluids is feasible and relatively easy. Despite the paucity of data, tumor-specific mtgenome changes are observed in biofluids of cancer patients. Given the multiple copies per cell of the mtgenome, future cancer detection efforts should consider complementary analysis of mtgenome changes in biofluids.

    Abstract The mature vertebrate retina develops from a population of multipotential neural progenitor cells that give rise to all of the retinal neurons and one glial cell type. Retinal histogenesis is regulated, in part, by cell extrinsic cues. A growing number of studies now implicate signaling by members of the Hedgehog (Hh) family of morphogens in vertebrate retinal development. In this review we will discuss the role of Hh signals from retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), the projection neurons of the retina, on proliferation, differentiation and lamination in the neural retina.

    Abstract Hedgehog (Hh), Notch, and Wingless (Wnt) signaling control normal development of the cerebellum, and dysregulation of these signaling pathways are associated with medulloblastoma (MB). As an initial step in the study of the role of interacting signaling pathways in MB pathogenesis, we demonstrate the expression of several components of the Notch and Wnt signaling pathways, and activation of Notch signaling in MB from Ptch +/- mice that have elevated Hh signaling. We also show a marked downregulation in the expression of Notch2, Jagged1, Hes1, mSfrp1, and mFrz7 in cerebella of developing mice with reduced Hh signaling, suggesting that Hh signaling regulates the expression of these genes. Together with recent published data, these findings indicate that Hh signaling might synergize simultaneously with Notch and Wnt signaling in MB development by controlling Notch and Wnt pathway ligand, receptor and/or target gene expression.

    Abstract Understanding mitochondrial biology is a fundamental research goal in human genetics and medicine. The use of mitochondria to serve as a biomarker is rapidly expanding in disciplines ranging from cancer, rare metabolic diseases, aging, the tracing of human migration patterns in antiquity, population characterization using maternal markers, and human identification. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations occur frequently in cancer, and there is an important need for validating mtDNA mutations as cancer biomarkers for the detection of early-stage disease. Although a few studies have suggested tissue-specific mtDNA mutations, there is no single mutational hotspot associated with the wide spectrum of cancer patients; hence, sequencing the entire mitochondrial genome and further characterization of the multiple deletions associated with tumors is required to detect the mutation load on an individual basis. Microarray-based technology provides a reliable and rapid method to detect all mutations of the entire mitochondrial genome. In addition to microarray-based sequencing, real-time PCR is an important method for deletion analysis. Mutations throughout the mitochondrial genome are recurrent events in primary tumor tissues and in corresponding non-invasively collected body fluids. Thus, mtDNA mutation analysis may provide a molecular tool for the early detection and prognosis of cancer. Recent findings have verified that relatively simple diagnostic tests for detecting mtDNA mutations, involving mitochondrial microarray chips and/or real-time PCR bioassays, have exciting predictive potential for cancer detection and prognosis.

    Abstract The development of glial precursor cells in the mammalian optic nerve depends on retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons, but the signals that mediate this neuron-to-glia interaction have not been fully characterized. Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is expressed by RGCs, and we showed previously that it is required for the specification of astrocyte lineage cells at the optic disc. To study the role of RGC-derived Shh on astrocyte development at later developmental stages, we generated mice with a conditional ablation of Shh in the peripheral retina and analyzed gene expression and glial cell development in the optic nerve. Astrocyte development was initiated in the optic nerves of these mutant mice; however, the expression of Hedgehog (Hh) target genes, Gli1 and Ptch1 and cell cycle genes, Ccnd1 and Cdc25b in the optic nerves were downregulated. Astrocyte proliferation was markedly reduced. Oligodendrocyte precursor cells were fewer in the optic nerves of mutant mice, possibly as a consequence of reduced secretion of growth factors by astrocytes. At a later developmental stage, optic nerve axons displayed signs of Wallerian degeneration, including reduction of astrocyte processes, degenerating glial cells and formation of distended axons. We also demonstrate that the Hh pathway can be activated in optic nerve-derived astrocytes in vitro, but fails to induce cell cycle gene expression and proliferation. RGC-derived Shh signalling isthus necessary in vivo for maintenance of astrocyte proliferation, affecting both axo-glial and normal glial cell development in the optic nerve.
