The Notch pathway involves evolutionarily conserved signaling regulating the development of the female tract organs such as breast, ovary, cervix, and uterine endometrium. A great number of studies revealed Notch aberrancies in association with their carcinogenesis and disease progression, the management of which is still challenging. The present study is a comprehensive review of the available literature on Notch signaling during the normal development and carcinogenesis of the female tract organs. The review has been enriched with our analyses of the TCGA data including breast, cervical, ovarian, and endometrial carcinomas concerning the effects of Notch signaling at two levels: the core components and downstream effectors, hence filling the lack of global overview of Notch-driven carcinogenesis and disease progression. Phenotype heterogeneity regarding Notch signaling was projected in two uniform manifold approximation and projection algorithm dimensions, preceded by the principal component analysis step reducing the data burden. Additionally, overall and disease-free survival analyses were performed with the optimal cutpoint determination by Evaluate Cutpoints software to establish the character of particular Notch components in tumorigenesis. In addition to the review, we demonstrated separate models of the examined cancers of the Notch pathway and its targets, although expression profiles of all normal tissues were much more similar to each other than to its cancerous compartments. Such Notch-driven cancerous differentiation resulted in a case of opposite association with DFS and OS. As a consequence, target genes also show very distinct profiles including genes associated with cell proliferation and differentiation, energy metabolism, or the EMT. In conclusion, the observed Notch associations with the female tract malignancies resulted from differential expression of target genes. This may influence a future analysis to search for new therapeutic targets based on specific Notch pathway profiles.

Effect of Notch1 on neural tube defects and neural stem cell differentiation induced by all‑trans retinoic acid.

Authors:
Na Chen Jiaming Xu Xinying Zhang Shuwei Li Weiwei Zhu Haibin Cui Yu Sun Bo Han Aihua Ma

Mol Med Rep 2021 Mar 21;23(3). Epub 2021 Jan 21.

Department of Pediatrics, Shandong Provincial Hospital, Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong 250021, P.R. China.

Neural tube defects (NTDs) are the most serious and common birth defects in the clinical setting. The Notch signaling pathway has been implicated in different processes of the embryonic neural stem cells (NSCs) during neural tube development. The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression pattern and function of Notch1 (N1) in all‑trans retinoic acid (atRA)‑induced NTDs and NSC differentiation. Read More

Coupled Feedback Loops Involving PAGE4, EMT and Notch Signaling Can Give Rise to Non-genetic Heterogeneity in Prostate Cancer Cells.

Authors:
Divyoj Singh Federico Bocci Prakash Kulkarni Mohit Kumar Jolly

Entropy (Basel) 2021 Feb 26;23(3). Epub 2021 Feb 26.

Centre for BioSystems Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore 560012, India.

Non-genetic heterogeneity is emerging as a crucial factor underlying therapy resistance in multiple cancers. However, the design principles of regulatory networks underlying non-genetic heterogeneity in cancer remain poorly understood. Here, we investigate the coupled dynamics of feedback loops involving (a) oscillations in androgen receptor (AR) signaling mediated through an intrinsically disordered protein PAGE4, (b) multistability in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and c) Notch-Delta-Jagged signaling mediated cell-cell communication, each of which can generate non-genetic heterogeneity through multistability and/or oscillations.

Objective: Although growing evidences have showed that long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs) plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 () plays a critical role in the progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), there are still many unsolved mysteries remains to be deeply elucidated. This study aimed to find a new underlying mechanism of in regulating the tumorigenesis and development of NSCLC.

Materials And Methods: In this experimental study, Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRTPCR) was used to profile the expression of in NSCLC tissues and cells. Read More

Recent studies have reported that gene amplified in squamous cell carcinoma 1 (GASC1) is involved in the progression of several types of cancer. However, whether GASC1 promotes glioma progression remains unknown. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of GASC1 exposure on glioma tumorigenesis. Read More

Regulation of Notch signaling by E3 ubiquitin ligases.

Debdeep Dutta Vartika Sharma Mousumi Mutsuddi Ashim Mukherjee

FEBS J 2021 Feb 28. Epub 2021 Feb 28.

Department of Molecular and Human Genetics, Institute of Science, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, 221005, Uttar Pradesh, India.

Notch signaling is an evolutionarily conserved pathway that is widely used for multiple cellular events during development. Activation of the Notch pathway occurs when the ligand from a neighboring cell binds to the Notch receptor and induces cleavage of the intracellular domain of Notch, which further translocates into the nucleus to activate its downstream genes. The involvement of the Notch pathway in diverse biological events is possible due to the complexity in its regulation. Read More
