Additionally, this murine model enlightened the correlation between hyperactivation of Akt and NOTCH1 signaling, since mice with constitutively active Akt alleles presented an expansion of CD4+ T cells expressing the NOTCH1 ligand DLL1 in the tumor microenvironment, implying a higher engagement of NOTCH1 by its ligands in neoplastic cells [65]. The gene discussed is NOTCH1; the disease is neoplasm.
