Notch3 Signaling in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Induces c-FLIP Expression via ERK/MAPK Activation

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the Notch3 receptor result in the cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephelopathy (CADASIL) syndrome, a heritable arteriopathy predisposing to early onset stroke. Based upon clinical evidence that CADASIL arteriopathy results in degeneration and loss of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) from the arterial wall, we postulated that Notch3 signaling is a...
