NOTCH1 Cancer Research Results

NOTCH1, Notch homolog 1, translocation-associated (Drosophila): Click to Expand ⟱

Source: CGL-Driver Genes

Type: TSG

NOTCH1 is a gene that encodes a protein involved in the Notch signaling pathway, which plays a crucial role in cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis.
Overall, the expression of NOTCH1 in cancer is complex and can have different implications depending on the tumor type and microenvironment.
Notch1 is a transmembrane receptor involved in the Notch signaling pathway, a highly conserved mechanism that regulates cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis.

– Activation occurs following interaction with membrane-bound ligands (e.g., Jagged and Delta-like proteins) on adjacent cells, leading to proteolytic cleavage and release of the Notch intracellular domain (NICD).
Notch1 expression can be upregulated or activated in many types of cancers, including T‑cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T‑ALL), breast cancer, and certain solid tumors.

– In other contexts, such as in some squamous cell carcinomas and cancers of the colon, Notch1 signaling can be reduced, suggesting a dual role depending on the tissue of origin and tumor microenvironment.

tumCV↓, reduces the viability, adhesion, and migration of tumor cells by induction of apoptosis and formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), reducing glutathione levels, B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), survivin, cyclin D1, Notch 1 intracellular domain (NICD),
TumCMig↓,
Apoptosis↑,
ROS↑,
GSH↓,
Bcl-2↓,
survivin↓,
cycD1/CCND1↓,
NOTCH1↓,
BAX↑, as well as enhancing the amount of Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) level (
NF-kB↓, The suppression of NK-κB-regulated gene products (e.g., cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), lipoxygenase (LOX), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and interleukin-1 (IL-1)) mediates the anti-inflammatory effect of silymarin
COX2↓,
LOX1↓,
iNOS↓,
TNF-α↓,
IL1↓,
Inflam↓,
*toxicity↓, Silymarin is also safe for humans, hence at therapeutic doses patients demonstrated no negative effects at the high dose of 700 mg, three times a day, for 24 weeks
CXCR4↓, fig 2
EGFR↓,
ERK↓,
MMP↓, reduction in mitochondrial transmembrane potential due to an increase in cytosolic cytochrome complex (Cyt c) levels.
Cyt‑c↑,
TumCCA↑, Moreover, silymarin increased the percentage of cells in the gap 0/gap 1 (G0/G1) phase and decreased the percentage of cells in the synthesis (S)-phase,
RB1↑, concomitant up-regulation of retinoblastoma protein (Rb), p53, cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1 (p21Cip1), and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1B (p27Kip1)
P53↑,
P21↑,
p27↑,
cycE/CCNE↓, and down-regulation of cyclin D1, cyclin E, cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4), and phospho-Rb
CDK4↓,
p‑pRB↓,
Hif1a↓, silibinin inhibited proliferation of Hep3B cells due to simultaneous induction of apoptosis and prevented the accumulation
cMyc↓, Silibinin also reduces cellular myelocytomatosis oncogene (c-MYC) expression, a key regulator of cancer metabolism in pancreatic cancer cells
IL1β↓, Silymarin can also inhibit the production of inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1beta (IL-1β), interferon-gamma (IFNγ),
IFN-γ↓,
PCNA↓, ilymarin suppresses the high proliferative activity of cells started with a carcinogen so that it significantly inhibits proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and cyclin D1 labeling indices
PSA↓, In another patent, S. marianum has been used as an estrogen receptor β-agonist and an inhibitor of PSA for treating prostate cancer
CYP1A1↓, Silymarin prevents the expression of CYP1A1 and COX-2
