ALDH1A1 is known to be regulated by NOTCH signaling (Ginestier et al., 2007; Le Magnen et al., 2013; Zhao et al., 2014) and NOTCH1 plays a prominent role in prostate cancer cell proliferation and migration (Shou et al., 2001; Zhang et al., 2006; Leong and Gao, 2008; Bin Hafeez et al., 2009; Wang et al., 2010). This evidence concerns the gene ALDH1A1 and prostate carcinoma.
