Sonic Hedgehog (SHh) signaling is regulated by Protein Kinase A (PKA) phosphorylation of glioma-associated oncogene (Gli) transcription factors. (A) When PKA phosphorylates Gli, Gli cannot be processed by Smo into its active state and SHh-dependent transcription does not occur. (B) Binding of Shh to Pitch1 activates phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-triphosphate (PIP3), increasing ciliary Ca2+ levels and preventing cAMP synthesis via Ca2+-inhibited adenylyl cyclase 5 and 6 (AC5/6), subsequently decreasing PKA phosphorylation of Gli. (C) Gli moves to the tip of the primary cilium. (D) Smoothened (Smo) is freed to activate Gli, Gli exits the cilium to initiate transcription.

(A) Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is exported by the ATP-binding cassette transporter protein (ABCC4) across the plasma membrane to the extracellular space where PGE2 can bind the Gαs-coupled receptor, EP4 to promote cilia formation as well as elongation. (B) Pericentriolar material 1 (PCM1) acts as an AKAP for PKA. GPCR activation of PKA leads to phosphorylation of NEK10, a kinase required for ciliary biogenesis. Phosphorylation of NIMA-related Kinase 10 (NEK10) by PKA leads to ubiquitination and proteolysis of the kinase by E3 ligase CHIP leading to cilia retraction.

(A) MC4R is a Gαs-coupled receptor which localizes to the primary cilium of hypothalamus neurons to control food intake. Also in cilia of hypothalamus neurons, NPY2R regulates food intake, but in contrast to MC4R, it does so through decrease in cAMP, as NPY2R is Gαi-coupled. (B) Both MC4R and NPY2R, when excluded from the cilium, fail to repress food intake. Many ciliopathies as well as complete loss of primary cilia lead to obesity.

Fluoropyrimidine pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic pathway. CAP is transformed by CES to 5-dFCR which turns into 5-dFUR by CDA and then to its active form of 5-FU by TP. Tegafur, is metabolized in the liver by CYP2A6 to the unstable form of 5-hydroxytegafur, which spontaneously turns into 5-FU. 5-FU is catabolized by DPD to inactive metabolites in the liver; DPYS catabolizes DHFU to FUPA and UPB1 turns FUPA to FBAL which is excreted in the urine. The remaining 5-FU (approximately 1%–3% of initially administered) ends to the fluorine-substituted derivatives of uracil, FUTP and FdUTP, formed through two distinct pathways in which several enzymes are implicated. FUTP and FdUTP incorporate into RNA and DNA sequence inhibiting thus nucleic acid synthesis. FdUTP additionally inhibits the ternary complex of MTHFR substrate 5,10-MTHF with TS, which converts dUMP to dUTP and dTTP, a vital precursor for DNA replication and repair, inducing thereby cell apoptosis.

(A) Pre-embolization DSA shows arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in the parietal Sylvian fissure on the right side. AVM received feeding from the middle cerebral artery (MCA) branches and drained via two large veins to the superior sagittal sinus (SSS).

DSA showed recanalized AVM. (D) AVM was operated on a few months later. Postoperative DSA confirmed the complete eradication of AVM. (E) Surveillance DSA one year later showed no signs of AVM. The follow-up was concluded. (F) Fourteen years later, at the age of 30, the patient underwent DSA as part of a new follow-up protocol; it showed recurrent AVM in the same location.

Selection of pictures of the archaeological and stratigraphic excavations carried out on the hill of Udine. (a) Investigations carried out between October and December 2021 identified the sub-superficial occurrence of a prehistoric structure made of alternations of gravelly and clayey lenses (picture by A. Fontana). This area is almost in continuity with the zone depicted in image (b) (Archives of Civici Musei of Udine), where excavation of 1987 all around the building named "Casa della Contadinanza" and near the church of S. Maria found a large pit, named “Fossa Bronzo” (Bronze-Age pit) in Buora28. This structure had an areal extent of about 40 m2 and is located at the edge of the hilltop, suggesting that it was near the slope of the mound even in ancient time. The pit was filled with an organic-rich fine matrix and thousands of potsherds. A selection of the most diagnostic fragments of pottery for chrono-typology is reported in Fig. 5 and in Supplementary Fig. S7. The fragments cover a time span between 1400 and 600 BCE, but with the majority of fragments dating to the RBA and FBA (i.e. 1350–950 BCE). (c) Picture taken in 1953, during the work for excavating the water tanks that now occupy most part of the esplanade of the hilltop, up to a depth of about 6 m (see Supplementary Fig. S2) (Archives of Civici Musei of Udine). The site is close to the monumental stairs of the northern entrance of the building called “the Castle”, and it has been documented that alternations of gravels and clays are present below 1.5–2 m of historical deposits rich in the organic component. A similar situation was found in core CAST-5, which is close to this site (see Fig. 4a).
