In contrast, the expression of MSX1 ,
GLI2 , and IRF6 was significantly upregulated in NSCL as compared with healthy tissues.
Other candidate genes are involved in the physiology of growth, such as
GLI2 in myogenesis and osteoblast differentiation [31], NYAP2 in brain size, neurite elongation and neuronal morphogenesis [32], and ZFPM2 in adipogenesis [33].

Loss-of-function mutations in the human
GLI2 gene are associated with pituitary anomalies and holoprosencephalylike features.
Vanderbilt University researchers found TGF-[beta]1 increases parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) activity by stimulating the
Gli2 signaling molecule, speeding bone loss.
Analysis showed that darinaparsin reduced the levels of the transcription factor
Gli2, a downstream effector of the activated Hedgehog pathway which is elevated in certain cancers.
Specifically, the researchers found that arsenic trioxide blocks the ability of a protein called
Gli2 to induce gene transcription in the nucleus.
The transcription factor
Gli2 plays a key role within this pathway, indeed,
Gli2 is responsible for the marked apoptosis resistance of the BCCs.
Another protein stabilized by proteasome inhibitor is
Gli2, which promotes bone formation through upregulating bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP2) [29, 30].
Tras la union al receptor PTCH1 en las celulas intersticiales fetales, DHH induce respuestas intracelulares por medio de factores de transcripcion GLI1 y
GLI2 (Szczepny et al., 2006; Sahin et al., 2014).
