The in vitro data were further validated by multiple xenograft, syngeneic and patient-derived xenograft mouse tumor models of ovarian cancer as well as ovarian cancer patient samples.<h4>Results</h4>We found paclitaxel selectively induced translational upregulation of NOTCH2 via cytoplasmic polyadenylation, and this NOTCH2 upregulation persisted after mitotic exit. The gene discussed is NOTCH2; the disease is ovarian cancer.
