Regulation of Neuroendocrine Differentiation in Gastrointestinal Carcinoid Tumor Cells by Notch Signaling
1 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Gastrointestinal (GI) carcinoid tumors elaborate serotonin and other vasoactive substances, causing the carcinoid syndrome. Based on developmental biology data, we hypothesized that basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors, including achaete-scute complex homolog-like 1 (Ascl1)/hASH1, and the Notch signaling pathway might regulate the neuroendocrine phenotype in GI carcinoids. OBJECTIVE: The aim of...
