The miR-106b-25 cluster mediates breast tumor initiation through activation of NOTCH1 via direct repression of NEDD4L.

TL;DR: It is shown that the miR-106b-25 cluster upregulates NOTCH1 in multiple breast cancer cell lines, representing both estrogen receptor (ER+) and triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) through direct repression of the E3 ubiquitin ligase, NEDD4L.

Mammary Development and Breast Cancer: The Role of Stem Cells

TL;DR: An overview on the functional and molecular identification of mammary stem cells in the context of both normal breast development and breast cancer is provided with an emphasis on Notch receptor signaling, a cell fate determination pathway often deregulated in breast cancer.

Identification of epidermal Pdx1 expression discloses different roles of Notch1 and Notch2 in murine KrasG12D-induced skin carcinogenesis in vivo

TL;DR: This study confirms distinctive expression and functions of Notch1 and Notch2 in the skin supporting the importance of careful dissection of the contribution of individual Notch receptors and providing strong evidence for epidermal expression of Pdx1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Notch signaling triggered via the ligand DLL4 impedes M2 macrophage differentiation and promotes their apoptosis.

TL;DR: Interplay between the DLL4/Notch and IL-4/IL-4R signaling pathways impairs M2 differentiation and may drive a Notch-dependent selection process not only by promoting M1 macrophage differentiation but also by preventing M2 macrophages differentiation through inhibition of M2-specific gene expression and apoptotic cell death.

Notch signalling: a simple pathway becomes complex

TL;DR: Although the intracellular transduction of the Notch signal is remarkably simple, with no secondary messengers, this pathway functions in an enormous diversity of developmental processes and its dysfunction is implicated in many cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

Notch/gamma-secretase inhibition turns proliferative cells in intestinal crypts and adenomas into goblet cells.

TL;DR: This work shows a rapid, massive conversion of proliferative crypt cells into post-mitotic goblet cells after conditional removal of the common Notch pathway transcription factor CSL/RBP-J and indicates that γ-secretase inhibitors, developed for Alzheimer's disease, might be of therapeutic benefit in colorectal neoplastic disease.
