MiR-34a targeting of Notch ligand delta-like 1 impairs CD15+/CD133+ tumor-propagating cells and supports neural differentiation in medulloblastoma.

TL;DR: Investigation of medulloblastoma tumors, which arise from an early impairment of developmental processes in the cerebellum, shows that stable nucleic-acid-lipid particles carrying mature miR-34a can target Dll1 in vitro and show equal effects to those of adenovirus miR -34a cell infection, and this technology forms the basis for their therapeutic use for the delivery of miR,34a in brain-tumor treatment.

Dynamic compaction of human mesenchymal stem/precursor cells into spheres self-activates caspase-dependent IL1 signaling to enhance secretion of modulators of inflammation and immunity (PGE2, TSG6, and STC1)

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that MSC spontaneously aggregated into sphere‐like structures after injection into a subcutaneous air pouch or the peritoneum of mice, indicating that assembly of MSC into spheres triggers caspase‐dependent IL1 signaling and the secretion of modulators of inflammation and immunity.

Abnormal recruitment of extracellular matrix proteins by excess Notch3ECD: a new pathomechanism in CADASIL

TL;DR: A dysregulation of TIMP3 activity is suggested, which could contribute to mutant Notch3(ECD) toxicity by impairing extracellular matrix homeostasis in small vessels and promoting the abnormal recruitment of functionally important extrace cellular proteins that may ultimately cause multifactorial toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crosstalk of Notch with p53 and p63 in cancer growth control.

TL;DR: This Opinion article focuses on the multilevel crosstalk between the Notch pathway and the p53 and p63 pathways, which are at the interface of external damaging signals and control of stem cell potential and differentiation.

Inhibition Of Notch Activity Promotes Nonmitotic Regeneration of Hair Cells in the Adult Mouse Utricles

TL;DR: This study shows that mature mammals have a natural capacity to initiate vestibular hair cell regeneration and suggests that regional notch activity is a significant inhibitor of direct transdifferentiation of supporting cells into hair cells following damage.

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.
