Non-canonical NOTCH3 signalling limits tumour angiogenesis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that tumour growth and angiogenesis are increased when Notch3 is silenced in the stroma and it is shown that the well-documented anti-tumour effect mediated by γ-secretase inhibition is at least in part dependent on the apoptosis triggered by NotCh3 in endothelial cells.

The black box illuminated: signals and signaling.

TL;DR: This review will outline advances made in understanding fundamental signaling in several of the most prominent pathways that control cutaneous development, cell-fate decisions, and keratinocyte growth and differentiation with the anticipation that this insight will contribute to new treatments for troubling skin diseases.

DEAD box RNA helicases: crucial regulators of gene expression and oncogenesis.

TL;DR: The mechanistic insights of gene regulation by DEAD box RNA helicases are discussed, and their significance in cancers is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

High selective pressure for Notch1 mutations that induce Myc in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

TL;DR: Findings in primary tumors extend recent work using human T-all cell lines and xenografts and suggest that the Notch/Myc signaling axis is of predominant importance in understanding both the selective pressure for Notch mutations in T-ALL and response and resistance of T- ALL to Notch pathway inhibitors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reciprocal interaction between TRAF6 and notch signaling regulates adult myofiber regeneration upon injury.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that specific inhibition of TRAF6 improves satellite cell activation and skeletal muscle regeneration through upregulation of Notch signaling and reducing the inflammatory repertoire.

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.
