Moreover, in endothelial and tumor cells' coculture model, it was shown that the expression of a NOTCH ligand DLL4 (Delta-like ligand 4) in HUVEC endothelial cells increased NOTCH1 and suppressed the proliferation of cocultured A549 and H460 NSCLC cells [19, 20]. This evidence concerns the gene DLL4 and non-small cell lung carcinoma.
