Down‐regulation of the Notch pathway mediated by a γ‐secretase inhibitor induces anti‐tumour effects in mouse models of T‐cell leukaemia

Down‐regulation of the Notch pathway mediated by a γ‐secretase inhibitor induces anti‐tumour... Background and purpose:  γ‐Secretase inhibitors (GSIs) block NOTCH receptor cleavage and pathway activation and have been under clinical evaluation for the treatment of malignancies such as T‐cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T‐ALL). The ability of GSIs to decrease T‐ALL cell viability in vitro is a slow process requiring >8 days, however, such treatment durations are not well tolerated in vivo. Here we study GSI's effect on tumour and normal cellular processes to optimize dosing regimens for anti‐tumour efficacy. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png British Journal of Pharmacology Wiley

Abstract

Background and purpose:  γ‐Secretase inhibitors (GSIs) block NOTCH receptor cleavage and pathway activation and have been under clinical evaluation for the treatment of malignancies such as T‐cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T‐ALL). The ability of GSIs to decrease T‐ALL cell viability in vitro is a slow process requiring >8 days, however, such treatment durations are not well tolerated in vivo. Here we study GSI's effect on tumour and normal cellular processes to optimize dosing regimens for anti‐tumour efficacy.
