“…Initially, a reduced expression of Jagged1, NICD1, Notch1, Hes1, and Hey1 was evident as a result of KRT1 silencing, thereby demonstrating the downstream effects of inactivating the Notch pathway. Notch was previously suggested to be closely correlated with inducing the expression of skin differentiation markers, including KRT1 (Koh, Ng, Bertrand, & Thierry, ). Therefore, KRT1 expression increased as a result of upregulated Notch signaling (Totaro et al, ).…”
