Abstract

Numb and Notch signalling pathways are vitally important in cell fate and differentiation. The outcome of these signalling processes is determined by a delicate balance between opposing effects of Notch and Numb. Imbalance in Numb/Notch regulation was implicated in aberrant differentiation programme and epithelial cancer progression and metastasis. Recent identification of Numb-interacting protein (NIP), which is also known as dual oxidase maturation factor, and was shown to associate with Numb and DUOX and promote their translocation, sheds a new light on how Numb/Notch network may be coordinated in epithelial cancers. Here, a possible link between Numb, Notch and Dual oxidase maturation factor is examined.
