Article Abstract
Objective: Many investigation have sought to identify therapeutic targets and treatment strategies for skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM). Numb, an endocytic adaptor protein, is known to act as a tumor suppressor in various human cancers. However, the roles of Numb and its homolog NumbL in immune microenvironment, and their effect on melanoma remain largely unexplored.
Methods: We analyzed the expression levels of Numb and NumbL, as well as immune signatures of SKCM patients by UCSCXenaShiny v1 database. We also constructed animal model using Numb and NumbL conditional knockout (cKO) mice. Distribution analysis of immune cells in tumors was performed by flow cytometry and pathology staining.
Results: Numb and NumbL were found to be consistently expressed at low levels in SKCM patients. In addition, alterations in tumor immune microenvironment were identified. The CD8 T, CD19 B, and NK1.1 CD49 cells were decreased in tumors of Numb and NumbL cKO mice, confirming previous bioinformatics analysis of immune signatures. Additionally, we observed CD68 macrophages to be increased as judged by tumor pathology staining.
Conclusion: Numb and NumbL were found to inhibit melanoma cell growth by modulating immune cell activity. These results suggested that Numb and NumbL may be potential therapeutic targets for SKCM patient immunotherapy.

Here, we investigated the mechanisms by which aging-related reductions of the levels of in skeletal muscle fibers contribute to loss of muscle strength and power, two critical features of sarcopenia. Numb is an adaptor protein best known for its critical roles in development, including asymmetric cell division, cell-type specification, and termination of intracellular signaling. expression is reduced in old humans and mice.

NUMB has been initially identified as a critical cell fate determinant that modulates cell differentiation via asymmetrical partitioning during mitosis, including tumor cells. However, it remains absent that a systematic assessment of the mechanisms underlying NUMB and its homologous protein NUMBLIKE (NUMBL) involvement in cancer. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic significance for NUMB and NUMBL in pan-cancer.

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) evolves in some pediatric patients following acute infection with SARS-CoV-2 by hitherto unknown mechanisms. Whereas acute-COVID-19 severity and outcomes were previously correlated with Notch4 expression on Tregs, here, we show that Tregs in MIS-C were destabilized through a Notch1-dependent mechanism. Genetic analysis revealed that patients with MIS-C had enrichment of rare deleterious variants affecting inflammation and autoimmunity pathways, including dominant-negative mutations in the Notch1 regulators NUMB and NUMBL leading to Notch1 upregulation.
