The Notch signaling pathway regulates the development of embryonic and tissue homeostasis of various types of cells. It also controls cell proliferation, variation, fate and cell death because it emits short-range messages to nearby cells. The pathway plays an important role in the pathophysiology of various malignancies, controlling cancer creation. It also limits cancer development by adjusting preserved angiogenesis and cellular programs. One of the Notch signaling ligands (in mammals) is Delta-like ligand 4 (Dll4), which plays a significant role in the overall malignancies' advancement. Particularly, sequencing Notch gene mutations, including those of Dll4, have been detected in many types of cancers portraying information on the growth of particular gynecological types of tumors. The current research article examines the background theory that implies the ability of Dll4 in the development of endometrial and other cancer types, and the probable therapeutic results of Dll4 inhibition.
Notch信号通路调节胚胎发育以及各类细胞的组织稳态。它还能控制细胞增殖、变异、命运和细胞死亡,因为它会向附近细胞发送短程信号。该通路在各种恶性肿瘤的病理生理学中发挥重要作用,控制癌症的产生。它还通过调节保留的血管生成和细胞程序来限制癌症发展。Notch信号配体之一(在哺乳动物中)是Delta样配体4(Dll4),它在整体恶性肿瘤进展中起重要作用。特别是,在许多类型的癌症中都检测到了Notch基因突变,包括Dll4的突变,这些突变描绘了特定妇科肿瘤类型生长的信息。当前的研究文章探讨了暗示Dll4在子宫内膜癌和其他癌症类型发展中的能力以及Dll4抑制可能的治疗结果的背景理论。
