Urokinase Receptor Promotes Skin Tumor Formation by Preventing Epithelial Cell Activation of Notch1 [PDF]
Abstract The urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) has a well-established role in cancer progression, but it has been little studied at earlier stages of cancer initiation. Here, we show that uPAR deficiency in the mouse dramatically reduces susceptibility to the classical two-stage protocol of inflammatory skin ...

Notch signaling is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism required for numerous types of cell fate decisions in metazoans. It mediates short-range communication between cells with receptors and ligands, both of which are expressed on the cell surfaces. In

Notch1 and Notch2 receptors regulate mouse and human gastric antral epithelial cell homoeostasis [PDF]
Objective We tested the ability of Notch pathway receptors Notch1 and Notch2 to regulate stem and epithelial cell homoeostasis in mouse and human gastric antral tissue. Design Mice were treated with the pan-Notch inhibitor dibenzazepine (DBZ) or ...

Protective astrogenesis from the SVZ niche after injury is controlled by Notch modulator Thbs4. [PDF]
Postnatal/adult neural stem cells (NSCs) within the rodent subventricular zone (SVZ; also called subependymal zone) generate doublecortin (Dcx)(+) neuroblasts that migrate and integrate into olfactory bulb circuitry.

G protein-coupled receptor 183 facilitates endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition via Notch1 inhibition [PDF]
In vertebrates, embryonic hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) are derived from a subset of endothelial cells, the hemogenic endothelium (HE), through the endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT). Notch signaling is essential for HSPC development during embryogenesis across vertebrates.

A Novel PAK1–Notch1 Axis Regulates Crypt Homeostasis in Intestinal InflammationSummary
Background & Aims: p21-activated kinase-1 (PAK1) belongs to a family of serine-threonine kinases and contributes to cellular pathways such as nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein ...
