Model representing the differential requirement for Jag1 in the normal and transformed intestinal epithelial cells. As shown in the figure, MFNG in normal intestinal stem cells glycosylate Notch1 thus favoring its activation mediated by the Dll4 ligand that is localized in the adjacent (Paneth) cells. In contrast, non-glycosylated Notch1 present in the MFNG-negative tumor cells cannot respond to Dll4 leading to Jag1, which makes them addicted to Jag1-dependent Notch signaling
