Figure 6 Notch signaling and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition hypothesis. A: Upon cellular stimulation by the Notch ligand, the intracellular domain of the Notch receptor (NICD) translocates into the nucleus and regulates gene transcription; B: In the EMT hypothesis, epithelial-phenotype cells expressing NOTCH1 transition to mesenchymal-phenotype cells expressing NOTCH2. RGS1: Regulator of G-protein signaling 1; EMT: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition; JAG2: Jagged 2; CSCs: Cancer stem cells.
