Deubiquitinase USP10 regulates Notch signaling in the endothelium

Notch signaling is critical for vascular morphogenesis by co-determining the sprouting behavior of endothelial cells. Here, we investigate the function of ubiquitin-specific peptidase 10 (USP10) in regulation of the turnover of the NOTCH1 intracellular domain. HUVEC were transfected with scrambled or USP10 targeting siRNA and then stimulated by treatment with DLL4 or control. RNA for analysis was isolated after 24 hours of DLL4 stimulation.
