| Abstract | Aberrant Notch pathway function is associated with a wide array of developmental disorders, cancers, and neurodegenerative diseases. Thus, strategies to modulate Notch signaling may facilitate therapeutic intervention. Ligand binding to Notch receptors at the cell surface results in a series of cleavage events that release Notch intracellular domain (NICD) fragments that translocate to the nucleus where they function as transcriptional activators of downstream transcriptional programs. We have developed a cell-based assay that can be used to screen for modulators of NICD signaling by engineering HeLa cervical cancer cells with a Notch response element driving beta-lactamase (BLA) reporter gene expression along with a tetracycline-inducible NICD expression system. Induction of NICD expression leads to increased BLA reporter activity that can be knocked down using NICD-specific RNA interference as well as RNA interference against endogenous components of the NICD transactivation complex. Profiling of 19 known compounds in this assay identified several previously undescribed modulators of NICD signaling. The Wnt pathway inhibitor ICG-001 antagonized NICD signaling, whereas the histone deacetylase inhibitor suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid, the heat shock protein 90 inhibitor 17-(allylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin, and the dual phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor PI-103 each further activated the NICD-driven reporter activity. The AKT inhibitor triciribine and the PI3K inhibitor GDC-0941 also resulted in the enhanced reporter activity, strongly implicating a role for the PI3K/AKT pathway in regulating NICD signaling. Together this cell-based assay system provides a sensitive, quantitative readout for NICD signaling that is amenable to high-throughput screening for NICD pathway modulators. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
