Hedgehog signaling has an essential role in the control of stem cell growth in embryonic tissues. Therefore, this study examined the effect of sonic hedgehog (Shh) on the self-renewal of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells and its related mechanisms. Shh increased DNA synthesis blocked by the inhibition of the smoothened receptor. Shh required Gli1 activation to induce the increases in Notch/Hes-1 and Wnt/beta-catenin. Shh increased the intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+](i)) and protein kinase C (PKC) activity. We show that the Shh-induced increase in the Gli1 mRNA level requires [Ca2+] i and PKC. Shh increased the phosphorylation of epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR), which is blocked by the matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor. Subsequently,
