Notch Signaling: Cell Fate Control and Signal Integration in Development
TLDR
Notch signaling defines an evolutionarily ancient cell interaction mechanism, which plays a fundamental role in metazoan development, providing a general developmental tool to influence organ formation and morphogenesis.Abstract:
Notch signaling defines an evolutionarily ancient cell interaction mechanism, which plays a fundamental role in metazoan development. Signals exchanged between neighboring cells through the Notch receptor can amplify and consolidate molecular differences, which eventually dictate cell fates. Thus, Notch signals control how cells respond to intrinsic or extrinsic developmental cues that are necessary to unfold specific developmental programs. Notch activity affects the implementation of differentiation, proliferation, and apoptotic programs, providing a general developmental tool to influence organ formation and morphogenesis.read more

Drug Resistance in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Potential for NOTCH Targeting?
TL;DR: The potential for targeting the NOTCH pathway to overcome resistance to chemotherapeutic and targeted agents using both preclinical and clinical evidence is critically assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tumor angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis: tumor/endothelial crosstalk and cellular/microenvironmental signaling mechanisms.
Fausto Gueths Gomes,Fernanda Nedel,Alessandro Menna Alves,Jacques E. Nör,Sandra Beatriz Chaves Tarquinio +4 more
TL;DR: This review aims to present and discuss the work done on the pro-angiogenesis and lymphangiogenic cellular interactions within the tumor microenvironment and the signaling pathways that regulate this crosstalk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Notch signaling and the determination of appendage identity.
TL;DR: It is shown that Notch signaling regulates the expression of the master control genes eyeless, vestigial, and Distal-less, which in combination with homeotic genes induce the formation of eyes, wings, antennae, and legs in Drosophila.

Modulation of Histone Acetyltransferase Activity through Interaction of Epstein-Barr Nuclear Antigen 3C with Prothymosin Alpha
TL;DR: EBNA3C plays a critical role in balancing cellular transcriptional events by linking the biological property of mediating inhibition of EBNA2 transcription activation and the observed histone acetyltransferase activity, thereby orchestrating immortalization of EBV-infected cells.

Notch signaling in the regulation of tumor angiogenesis.
Aasia O. Rehman,Cun-Yu Wang +1 more
TL;DR: The Notch signaling pathway can mediate communication between various cell types in the tumor microenvironment, interactions between tumor cells and endothelial cells might promote angiogenesis, therefore targeting the Notch pathway might provide a novel strategy for anti-angiogenic therapies.

A. Cabanis,Marie Madeleine Ruchoux,Jean Weissenbach,Jean Francois Bach,Marie-Germaine Bousser,Elisabeth Tournier-Lasserve +18 more
TL;DR: The characterization of the human Notch3 gene, which was previously mapped to the CADASIL critical region, is reported, indicating that Notch 3 could be the defective protein in CADASil patients.

Notch-1 signalling requires ligand-induced proteolytic release of intracellular domain.
TL;DR: It is shown that signalling by a constitutively active membrane-bound Notch-1 protein requires the proteolytic release of the Notch intracellular domain (NICD), which interacts preferentially with CSL.

Signalling downstream of activated mammalian Notch.
Sophie Jarriault,Christel Brou,Frédérique Logeat,Eric H. Schroeter,Raphael Kopan,Alain Israël +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that activated forms of mNotch associate with the human analogue of Su(H), KBF2/RBP-JK and act as transcriptional activators through theKBF2-binding sites of the HES-1 promoter and block MyoD-induced myogenesis5-7.

Notch signaling : Signal transduction
TL;DR: The Notch/Lin-12/Glp-1 receptor family mediates the specification of numerous cell fates during development in Drosophila and Caenorhabditis elegans and putative components of the signaling cascade are identified, including a conserved family of extracellular ligands and two cellular factors that may associate with the Notch Intracellular domain.

Alagille syndrome is caused by mutations in human Jagged1, which encodes a ligand for Notch1
Linheng Li,Ian D. Krantz,Yu Deng,Yu Deng,Anna Genin,Amy B. Banta,Colin Collins,Ming Qi,Barbara J. Trask,Wen Lin Kuo,Joanne Cochran,Teresa Costa,Mary Ella M Pierpont,Elizabeth B. Rand,David A. Piccoli,Leroy Hood,Nancy B. Spinner +16 more
TL;DR: Four distinct coding mutations in JAG1 are demonstrated, providing evidence that it is the causal gene for Alagille syndrome, and supporting the hypothesis that haploinsufficiency for this gene is one of the mechanisms causing the Alagile syndrome phenotype.
