Combined deficiency of Notch1 and Notch3 causes pericyte dysfunction, models CADASIL, and results in arteriovenous malformations

TL;DR: Notch is defined as a key regulator of pericyte function during angiogenesis and loss of pericyclete function due to Notch deficiency exacerbates endothelial cell activation caused by Notch1 haploinsufficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fine-tuning of the intracellular canonical Notch signaling pathway.

TL;DR: This review summarizes recent studies on transcriptional and chromatin control mechanisms, which set the stage for specific expression of Notch target genes and how the canonical (RBP-J dependent) Notch pathway is fine-tuned by downstream effectors and feedback loops in mammals.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Role of Notch Receptors in Transcriptional Regulation

TL;DR: The recent findings pertaining to the complex interplay between the Notch transcriptional complex and interacting factors involved in transcriptional regulation, including co‐activators, cooperating transcription factors, and chromatin regulators, are summarized and emerging data regarding the role of Notch‐regulated noncoding RNAs in transcription is discussed.

Notch signaling and new therapeutic options in liver disease

TL;DR: Novel findings suggest that interfering with the aberrant activation of the Notch pathway may have therapeutic relevance, and further studies are needed to clarify the mechanisms regulating physiologic and pathologic Notch activation in the adult liver.
Journal ArticleDOI

γ-Secretase modulator (GSM) photoaffinity probes reveal distinct allosteric binding sites on presenilin.

TL;DR: The photoaffinity probe E2012-BPyne specifically labels the N-terminal fragment of presenilin-1 (PS1-NTF) in cell membranes as well as in live cells and primary neuronal cultures providing evidence for multiple binding sites within γ-secretase that confer specific modulatory effects.

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.
