Decrease of proliferation rate and induction of differentiation by a MYCN antisense DNA oligomer in a human neuroblastoma cell line.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects of an antisense oligodeoxynucleotide to codons 2-7 of the oncogene MYCN on the human neuroblastoma cell line LAN-5 were studied. Treated cells showed a decreased MYCN protein expression and synthesis by immunoperoxidase staining and immunoprecipitation. At the same time, the replication rate was inhibited, and the phenotype was modified toward a more differentiated type. Our data suggest the involvement of oncogene MYCN in both proliferative and differentiative processes.

Induction of apoptosis and necrosis in human acute erythroleukemia cells by inhibition of long non-coding RNA PVT1
Recent advances in molecular medicine have proposed new therapeutic strategies for cancer. One of the molecular research lines for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer is the use of long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) which are a class of non-coding RNA molecules longer than 200 base pairs in length that act as the key regulator of gene expression. Different aspects of cellular activities like cell...
متن کاملVasoactive intestinal peptide decreases MYCN expression and synergizes with retinoic acid in a human MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma cell line.
Neuroblastoma is a pediatric tumor which can spontaneously regress or differentiate into a benign tumor. MYCN oncogene amplification occurs in 22% of neuroblastomas and is associated with poor prognosis. Retinoic acid (RA), a molecule able to induce differentiation and to decrease MYCN expression, is used in the therapy of neuroblastomas. The neuropeptide vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is ...
متن کاملInduction of Apoptosis in Human Leukemia Cell Line (HL60) by Animal’s Venom Derived Peptides (ICD-85)
Our previous studies revealed an inhibitory effect of ICD-85 (Venom derived peptides) on breast cancer cell line MDA-MB231. ICD-85 was also confirmed by in-vivo studies to suppress the breast tumor in mice. However, the exact mechanism of ICD-85 was unknown. Hence, the present study was undertaken to assess the mechanism of ICD-85 effect as an anti-proliferative agent of cancer cells. The effec...

Transfection of a neuroblastoma cell line with expression vectors containing two different segments of human c-mybcomplementary DNA in antisense orientation yielded far fewer transfectant clones than did the transaction with the identical segments in sense orientation. In cell clones expressing c-myb antisense RNA, levels of the c-myb protein were down-regulated and the proliferation rate was s...
