Effects of notch signaling on regulation of myeloid cell differentiation in cancer.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that inhibition of Notch signaling in hematopoietic progenitor cells, myeloid-derived suppressor cells, and dendritic cells is directly involved in abnormalMyeloid cell differentiation in cancer.

O-glucose trisaccharide is present at high but variable stoichiometry at multiple sites on mouse Notch1.

TL;DR: It is shown through biochemical and mass spectral analyses that serine is the only hydroxyamino acid that is modified with O-glucose on EGF repeats, and it is proposed that alanine N-terminal to cysteine 2: C1XSX(A/P)C2.

In Vivo Mapping of Notch Pathway Activity in Normal and Stress Hematopoiesis

TL;DR: These models provide comprehensive genetic maps of lineage-specific Notch receptor expression and activation in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells and establish a previously unknown role for Notch signaling in the commitment of blood progenitors toward the erythrocytic lineage.

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.
