Silva, G; Sales-Dias, J; Casal, D; Alves, S; Domenici, G; Barreto, C; Matos, C; Lemos, AR; Matias, AT; Kucheryava, K; Ferreira, A; Moita, MR; Braga, SAberrant Notch signaling is implicated in several cancers, including breast cancer. However, the mechanistic details of the specific receptors and function of ligand-mediated Notch signaling that promote breast cancer remains elusive. In our studies we show that DLL1, a Notch signaling ligand, is significantly overexpressed in ERα+ luminal breast cancer. Intriguingly, DLL1 overexpression correlates with poor pr...

Silva, G; Sales-Dias, J; Casal, D; Alves, S; Domenici, G; Barreto, C; Matos, C; Lemos, A; Matias, A; Kucheryava, K; Ferreira, A; Moita, MR; Braga, SThe Notch-signaling ligand DLL1 has emerged as an important player and promising therapeutic target in breast cancer (BC). DLL1-induced Notch activation promotes tumor cell proliferation, survival, migration, angiogenesis and BC stem cell maintenance. In BC, DLL1 overexpression is associated with poor prognosis, particularly in estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) subtypes. Directed therapy in early and advanced BC...
