Combination of Dll4/Notch and Ephrin-B2/EphB4 targeted therapy is highly effective in disrupting tumor angiogenesis [PDF]
Background Dll4/Notch and Ephrin-B2/EphB4 pathways play critical roles in tumor vessel development and maturation. This study evaluates the efficacy of the inhibition of both signaling pathways, alone and in combination, in reducing the growth of an ...

Monocyte-derived Langerhans cells express Delta-like 4 induced by peptidoglycan and interleukin-4 mediated suppression [PDF]
T cells contribute to immunotherapy and autoimmune pathogenesis and Langerhans cells (LCs) have a substantial ability to activate T cells. In vitro-generated monocyte-derived LCs (Mo-LCs) are useful models to study LC function in autoimmune diseases and ...

Notch2/3-DLL4 interaction in urothelial cancer cell lines supports a tumorigenic role of Notch signaling pathways in bladder carcinoma. [PDF]
IntroductionThe Notch pathway plays an important role in many aspects of cancer biology and acts in a dichotomous way in bladder cancer. The mechanisms behind this behavior are still elusive.

Distinct expression patterns of Notch ligands, Dll1 and Dll4, in normal and inflamed mice intestine [PDF]
Reports have suggested that the two Notch ligands, Dll1 and Dll4, are indispensable to maintain the homeostasis of the intestinal epithelium. However, within the intestinal epithelium, the precise distribution of the cells that express those ligands at ...

Correlation of serum delta-like ligand-4 level with the severity of diabetic retinopathy
Background Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most serious microvascular complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Delta-like ligand-4 (DLL4) maintains the normal physiological microenvironment of the retina.

Endothelial Wnt/β-catenin signaling inhibits glioma angiogenesis and normalizes tumor blood vessels by inducing PDGF-B expression [PDF]
Endothelial Wnt/β-catenin signaling is necessary for angiogenesis of the central nervous system and blood–brain barrier (BBB) differentiation, but its relevance for glioma vascularization is unknown. In this study, we show that doxycycline-dependent Wnt1
