Notch signaling pathway. The ligand on the receiving cell connects the cell that acts as a presenter for the notch receptor. ADAM metalloprotease and γ-secretase split the Notch extracellular truncated (NEXT) domain, forming the notch intracellular domain (NICD). NICD is introduced into the nucleus and is a complex of transcription factors CSL 9 CBF1/hairless/lack 1 and transcriptional coactivator of mastermind-like proteins (MAML). The complex would then activate the target gene’s transcription. Treatment with diallyl trisulfide (DATS) boosts the expression of tumor suppressor microRNAs miR-143 and miR-145. When microRNAs bind to Notch1 mRNA, the mRNA is degraded, but the Notch1 protein is not translated. Curcumin inhibits Notch1 transcription and expression and the nucleus’ Hes-1, Hey-1, and Hey-2 genes (Angulo et al., 2017).
