Abstract: The abnormal expression of Notch signaling pathway in many tumor cells,due to its high background correlation,shows the role of proto-oncogene or tumor suppressor gene.When the expression of Notch signal is affected by external stimulation or intracellular signal,Notch signal can promote or inhibit tumor cell apoptosis through“crosstalk” with other cell signaling pathways or by directly regulating apoptotic proteins.This paper reviews the mechanism of Notch signaling pathway in promoting and inhibiting tumor cell apoptosis,and provides theoretical support for anti-tumor therapy of Notch signaling pathway through the different effects of Notch signaling pathway on various apoptosis pathways.

Key words: Notch signaling pathway;Tumor cell;Apoptosis;Mechanism
