Monocyte-derived Langerhans cells express Delta-like 4 induced by peptidoglycan and interleukin-4 mediated suppression [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology
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]

PLoS ONE
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]

PeerJ, 2014
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 ...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis impedes CD40-dependent notch signaling to restrict Th17 polarization during infection

iScience, 2022
Summary: Early Th17 responses are necessary to provide protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Mtb impedes Th17 polarization by restricting CD40 co-stimulatory pathway on dendritic cells (DCs).

Computational Screening of Tip and Stalk Cell Behavior Proposes a Role for Apelin Signaling in Sprout Progression [PDF]

, 2016
Angiogenesis involves the formation of new blood vessels by sprouting or splitting of existing blood vessels. During sprouting, a highly motile type of endothelial cell, called the tip cell, migrates from the blood vessels followed by stalk cells, an ...

Probing Notch1-Dll4 signaling in regulating osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells using single cell nanobiosensor

Scientific Reports, 2022
Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have great potential in cell-based therapies for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine due to their self-renewal and multipotent properties.

Correlation of serum delta-like ligand-4 level with the severity of diabetic retinopathy

BMC Endocrine Disorders, 2021
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.

AGEs induce high expression of Dll4 via endoplasmic reticulum stress PERK signaling-mediated internal ribosomal entry site mechanism in macrophages

Heliyon, 2023
Background and aim: Advanced glycation end products (AGEs)- exposed macrophages was characterized by Delta-like ligand 4 (Dll4) high expressed and has been shown to participate in diabetes-related atherosclerosis.

Dll1 Can Function as a Ligand of Notch1 and Notch2 in the Thymic Epithelium

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
T-cell development in the thymus is dependent on Notch signaling induced by the interaction of Notch1, present on immigrant cells, with a Notch ligand, delta-like (Dll) 4, on the thymic epithelial cells.

Systemic expression of Notch ligand Delta-like 4 during mycobacterial infection alters the T cell immune response

Frontiers in Immunology, 2016
The Notch ligand Delta-like 4 (DLL4) is known to fine-tune the CD4+ T cell cytokine response. DLL4 is expressed on the surface of antigen presenting cells in a MyD88 dependent manner.
