Presentation Transcript

  1. Notch1 and its role in pre-T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) Erin Campbell

  2. Notch Background Thomas Hunt Morgan discovered Notch pathway in Drosophila melanogaster One of the big five pathways in development Regulates cell proliferation, survival, positioning, and differentiation http://www.nature.com/nri/journal/v8/n5/fig_tab/nri2304_F2.html

  3. Structure of Notch1 Notch1 encodes a transmembrane receptor protein Extracellular domain has EGF-like repeats and intracellular domain has PEST domain http://dev.biologists.org/cgi/content-nw/full/133/17/3277/FIG1

  4. Notch1 Signaling Pathway http://www.nature.com/nri/journal/v8/n5/fig_tab/nri2304_F2.html

  5. Notch1 regulates thymocyte specification Grabher et al. Nature Reviews. 2006

  6. Inhibition of Notch1 suppressed growth in T-ALL cells Weng et al. Molecular and Cellular Biology 2003.

  7. 1,500 people in US affected per year 80% survival rate in children, 30-40% in patients under 60, and 10% in patients over 60 Accounts for 10-15% of pediatric and 25% of adult ALL cases Pre-T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL) http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/pdq/treatment/childALL/patient

  8. This translocation was the first discovery of Notch1 and its role in T-ALL Rare translocation that only occurs in 1% of cases Chromosomal Translocation in T-ALL results in overexpression of Notch1 http://www.licr.org/C_news/newslink/0406/images/0406_Notch1_Fig1.jpg

  9. Somatic Mutations in Notch1 Heterodimerization (HD) Mutation PEST mutation http://www.nature.com/nri/journal/v8/n5/fig_tab/nri2304_F2.html

  10. The Big Picture about Notch1 • Notch1 encodes a transmembrane receptor protein • One specific function of Notch1 is the regulation the specification and development of T-cells • In T-ALL, Notch1 is overexpressed leading to deregulated proliferation of thymocytes and the formation of tumors
