Regulation of angiogenesis via the Notch signaling pathway in CRC. Notch1 is a single transmembrane protein located on the cell surface that interacts with Dll4 and Jagged1 expressed on adjacent cells. As a result, γ-secretase is activated to split Notch to induce NICD into the nucleus. Then, VEGFR3 and HES-1 are upregulated and are involved in subsequent angiogenesis in CRC. As inhibitors of the Notch pathway, ABL001, berberine, and quercetin are considered potential therapeutic agents to inhibit angiogenesis in CRC.
