Summary
Breast cancer represents a major form of cancer affecting around one out of eight women in resource-rich countries. A hallmark of cancer, including breast cancer, is the dysregulation of intracellular signalling, a notably example of which is the family of Notch (Notch 1 to 4) receptor. While the effects of Notch 1 intracellular signalling have been significantly studied in breast cancer, those of Notch 2, −which shares 37% similarity to Notch1 receptor−, remain far from completely understood. Here, we studied Notch 2 intracellular signalling in human primary breast epithelial cells. Our results showed that: a) Notch 2 signalling may activate different transcription factors than Notch 1 signalling does, b), Notch 2 signalling causes downregulation of ΔΝp63 expression levels, and c) Notch 2 signalling causes distinct changes in the expression levels of integrin proteins in our samples examined. Therefore, if the differences in Notch 1 and Notch2 result in distinct genetic or phenotypic signatures, −an issue to be verified in future studies−, it could be anticipated that targeting Notch 1 and Notch 2 with specific antibodies might lead to distinct therapeutic approaches.
