Newest firstRecent studies demonstrate the adverse effects of cannabinoids on development, including via pathways shared with ethanol exposure. Our laboratory has shown that both the nervous system and cardiac development are dependent on agrin modulation of sonic hedgehog (shh) and fibroblast growth factor (Fgf) signaling pathways. As both ethanol and cannabinoids impact these signaling molecules, we examined their role on z…
Open article record in new tab ↗We tested whether cannabinoids (CBs) potentiate alcohol-induced birth defects in mice and zebrafish, and explored the underlying pathogenic mechanisms on Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) signaling. The CBs, Δ9-THC, cannabidiol, HU-210, and CP 55,940 caused alcohol-like effects on craniofacial and brain development, phenocopying Shh mutations. Combined exposure to even low doses of alcohol with THC, HU-210, or CP 55,940 caused…
