Notch in the kidney: development and disease

TL;DR: Notch signalling is markedly reduced in the adult kidney; however, increased Notch signalling has been noted in both acute and chronic kidney injury, indicating that Notch is a key regulator of kidney development, repair, and injury.

F-box and WD Repeat Domain-Containing 7 Regulates Intestinal Cell Lineage Commitment and Is a Haploinsufficient Tumor Suppressor

TL;DR: FbW7 regulates intestinal biology and tumorigenesis by controlling the abundance of different substrates in a dose-dependent fashion, providing a molecular explanation for the heterozygous mutations of fbw7 observed in human colorectal carcinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of Notch signaling prevents experimental fibrosis and induces regression of established fibrosis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that pharmacologic as well as genetic inhibition of Notch signaling exerts potent antifibrotic effects in different murine models of SSc and might have direct translational implications because different inhibitors of the γ-secretase complex are available and have yielded promising results in cancer trials.

C8orf4 negatively regulates self-renewal of liver cancer stem cells via suppression of NOTCH2 signalling

TL;DR: C8orf4 negatively regulates the self-renewal of liver CSCs via suppression of NOTCH2 signalling and activation levels are consistent with clinical severity and prognosis of HCC patients.

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.
