Notch3 Functions as a Tumor Suppressor by Controlling Cellular Senescence

Notch signaling regulates a broad spectrum of cell fate decisions and differentiation. Both oncogenic and tumor suppressor functions have been shown for Notch signaling. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms of its tumor suppressor function. Here, we report that expression of Notch3, a member of Notch family transmembrane receptors, was elevated in human cells during senescence activated by various senescence-inducing stimuli....
