Identification of a novel recurrent 1q42.2-1qter deletion in high risk MYCN single copy 11q deleted neuroblastomas.
Neuroblastoma is an aggressive embryonal tumor that accounts for ∼15% of childhood cancer deaths. Hitherto, despite the availability of comprehensive genomic data on DNA copy number changes in neuroblastoma, relatively little is known about the genes driving neuroblastoma tumorigenesis. In this study, high resolution array comparative genome hybridization (CGH) was performed on 188 primary neur...
متن کاملLack of homozygously inactivated p73 in single-copy MYCN primary neuroblastomas and neuroblastoma cell lines.
We examined 18 neuroblastoma cell lines and 32 primary single-copy MYCN tumor specimens to determine whether mutations of p73, a novel p53-related gene located in chromosome band 1p36.33, contribute to the genesis or progression of childhood neuroblastoma. By fluorescence in situ hybridization, 16 of the 18 cell lines, but only 3 of the 32 primary tumors, had evidence of a deleted p73 allele. S...
متن کاملE2F proteins regulate MYCN expression in neuroblastomas.
Amplification of the MYCN gene, resulting in overexpression of MYCN, distinguishes a subset of neuroblastomas with poor prognosis. The transcription factors driving MYCN expression in neuroblastomas are unknown. In transient-transfection assays, E2F-1, E2F-2, and E2F-3 activate a MYCN reporter construct dependent on the presence of several putative E2F-binding sites. Using chromatin immunopreci...
متن کاملMYCN is retained in single copy at chromosome 2 band p23-24 during amplification in human neuroblastoma cells.
Amplification of the human N-myc protooncogene, MYCN, is frequently seen either in extrachromosomal double minutes or in homogeneously staining regions of aggressively growing neuroblastomas. MYCN maps to chromosome 2 band p23-24, but homogeneously staining regions have never been observed at this band, suggesting transposition of MYCN during amplification. We have employed fluorescence in situ...
متن کاملThe coamplification pattern of the MYCN amplicon is an invariable attribute of most MYCN-amplified human neuroblastomas.
PURPOSE Fifteen percent to 20% of human neuroblastomas show amplification of the MYCN oncogene physiologically located at chromosome 2p24-25, indicating an aggressive subtype of human neuroblastoma with a poor clinical outcome. Recent findings revealed that the structure of the amplicon differs interindividually and that coamplification of genes in telomeric proximity to MYCN might play a relev...
