Deletion of Adam10 in endothelial cells leads to defects in organ-specific vascular structures.

TL;DR: It is reported that conditional inactivation of Adam10 in endothelial cells (A10ΔEC) recapitulates the increased branching and density of the retinal vasculature that is also caused by interfering with Notch signaling, supporting a model in which Adam10 is a crucial regulator of endothelial cell-fate decisions.

The Gamma Secretase Inhibitor MRK-003 Attenuates Pancreatic Cancer Growth in Preclinical Models

TL;DR: The rationale for small-molecule inhibition of Notch signaling as a therapeutic strategy in PDAC is strengthened, withGene expression analysis of untreated tumors indicated that upregulation of NF-κB pathway components was predictive of sensitivity to MRK-003, whereas upregulation in B-cell receptor signaling and nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-like 2 pathway correlated with response to the combination of MRK -003 with gemcitabine.

Jagged1 heterozygosity in mice results in a congenital cholangiopathy which is reversed by concomitant deletion of one copy of Poglut1 (Rumi).

TL;DR: It is shown that on a C57BL/6 background, jagged1 heterozygous mice (Jag1+/−) exhibit impaired intrahepatic bile duct development, decreased SOX9 expression, and thinning of the periportal vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) layer, which is apparent at embryonic day 18 and the first postnatal week, and that Rumi opposes JAG1 function in the liver.

The contribution of Notch1 to nephron segmentation in the developing kidney is revealed in a sensitized Notch2 background and can be augmented by reducing Mint dosage

TL;DR: Notch1 in concert with Notch2 contributes to the morphogenesis of renal vesicles into S-shaped bodies in a RBP-J-dependent manner, indicating that elevating Notch1 activity could improve renal functions in ALGS2 patients and suggesting temporal blockage of Notch signaling inhibitors downstream of receptor activation may have therapeutic benefits for ALGS 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.
