Regulated Proteolysis of NOTCH2 and NOTCH3 Receptors by ADAM10 and Presenilins

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that canonical ligand-induced proteolysis of the NOTCH1, -2, and -3 receptors strictly depends on consecutive cleavage of these receptors by ADAM10 and the presenilin-containing γ-secretase complex, leading to transcriptional activation.

A dual role for NOTCH signaling in joint cartilage maintenance and osteoarthritis

TL;DR: A potential dual role for NOTCH in joint maintenance and osteoarthritis is investigated by generating two mouse models overexpressing the NOTCH1 intracellular domain (NICD) within postnatal joint cartilage and identifying downstream effectors of NOTCH signaling as potential targets for disease-modifying osteo arthritis drugs.

PI3K/AKT Signaling Regulates H3K4 Methylation in Breast Cancer

TL;DR: The data identify a mechanism by which PI3K/AKT signaling modulates the cancer epigenome through controlling H3K4 methylation and suggest that KDM5A subcellular localization and genome occupancy may be pharmacodynamic markers of the activity of PI3k/AKt inhibitors currently in clinical development.

Notch signaling in serous ovarian cancer.

TL;DR: Pre-clinical literature that links altered Notch signaling to ovarian cancer progression is focused on and several GSIs currently in phase I and II trials across many disease sites including ovary are reviewed.

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.
