The transcription factor glioma-associated oncogene homolog 1 (GLI1) has a central function in gastrointestinal tract development and homeostasis. A non-synonymous single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (rs2228226; Q1100E) in GLI1, which impairs GLI1 function in vitro, has been proposed as a risk factor for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In this study, we assessed the cumulative evidence for association of GLI1 with IBD. New genotype data for rs2228226 from New Zealand (907 controls, 990 IBD patients) and Belgian Caucasian case-control data sets (312 controls, 1214 IBD patients) were combined with data from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases and three previously studied Caucasian case-control data sets. Meta-analysis of rs2228226 did not detect any association with ulcerative colitis (UC) (P=0.09, odds ratio (OR)=1.07, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.92-1.24), Crohn's disease (CD) (P=0.29, OR=1.06, 95% CI=0.93-1.21) or overall IBD (P=0.15, OR=1.05, 95% CI=0.92-1.19). Our analyses of rs2228226 suggest that GLI1 is not a significant risk factor for IBD in Caucasians.

Objective: This review summarises the role of Gli1 (Glioma-associated oncogene homologue 1) mesenchymal stem cells in craniofacial growth and development or tissue repair, and their application in the treatment of some diseases.
Design: The search for this narrative review was conducted in PubMed and Web of Science using relevant keywords, including checking reference lists of journal articles by hand searching.
Results: Gli1 mesenchymal stem cells play an important role in the growth and development of the skull, tooth, periodontium and mandibular condyle.

Breast cancer stem cells (CSCs) are resistant to most cancer therapeutics and contribute to tumor recurrence and metastasis. Two breast CSC-promoting transcription factors, truncated glioma-associated oncogene homolog 1 (tGLI1) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), have been reported to be frequently co-expressed in HER2-enriched breast cancer and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), undergo protein-protein interactions for gene regulation and activation, and functionally cooperate to promote breast CSCs. STAT3 can be activated by activated interleukin-6 receptor/glycoprotein-130 (IL-6R/GP130).

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a common neurological trauma that cannot be completely cured with surgical techniques and medications. In this study, we established a mouse SCI model and used an adeno-associated virus (AAV) to achieve the high expression of sonic hedgehog (Shh) at the injury site to further investigate the therapeutic effect and mechanism of Shh on SCI. The results of the present study show that Shh may promote motor function recovery.

To explore the distribution characteristics of glioma-associated oncogene homolog 1 (Gli1) positive cells during orthodontic tooth movement process and conduct a proteomic analysis of these cells. Forty Gli1-LacZ transgenic mice were used to establish an in orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) model for labeling Gli1 positive cells in Gli1-LacZ transgenic mice (OTM group) and an unforced control group, with tooth movement distance measured using micro-CT. The spatial relationship and distribution characteristics of Gli1 positive cells and H-type vessels of CD31 and endomucin (EMCN) in periodontal tissues were detected by immunofluorescence staining.
