Molecular classification of gastric cancer: Towards a pathway-driven targeted therapy.

TL;DR: An overview of the morphological classification, current treatment approaches, and molecular alterations that have been characterized for GC are provided and insights regarding emerging stem cell pathways are described, which may provide additional novel markers for the development of therapeutic agents against GC.

Cancer stem cell niche models and contribution by mesenchymal stroma/stem cells.

TL;DR: A better knowledge of CSC niche physiology may increase the chances that cancer stemness-depleting interventions ultimately result in arrest of tumor growth and metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel insights into the differential functions of Notch ligands in vascular formation

TL;DR: Results from recent studies indicate that Dll1 and Dll4 have distinct roles in the specification and maintenance of arterial cell identity, while Dll 4 and Jagged1 have opposing functions in tip- and stalk-cell selection during sprouting angiogenesis.

Endocytosis and Intracellular Trafficking of Notch and Its Ligands

TL;DR: Endocytosis plays an essential role in Notch signaling, whereas intracellular vesicle trafficking often plays a context-dependent or regulatory role, leading to divergent outcomes in different developmental contexts.

MiR-146a modulates macrophage polarization by inhibiting Notch1 pathway in RAW264.7 macrophages

TL;DR: It was suggested that miR-146a might serve as a molecular regulator in macrophage polarization and is a potential therapeutic target for inflammatory diseases.

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.
