Molecular Markers in Neuroblastoma
Neuroblastoma, one of the common malignant childhood tumors, arises from neuroblast cells derived from theneural crest and destined for the adrenal medulla and the sympathetic nervous system and shows remarkable biologicalheterogeneity, resulting in favorable or unfavorable outcomes. Some tumors make rapid progress with a fataloutcome. In other instances, the tumors regress spontaneously in inf...
متن کاملA high-content morphological screen identifies novel microRNAs that regulate neuroblastoma cell differentiation
Neuroblastoma, the most common extracranial solid tumor of childhood, arises from neural crest cell precursors that fail to differentiate. Inducing cell differentiation is an important therapeutic strategy for neuroblastoma. We developed a direct functional high-content screen to identify differentiation-inducing microRNAs, in order to develop microRNA-based differentiation therapy for neurobla...
متن کاملEssential role of GATA3 in regulation of differentiation and cell proliferation in SK-N-SH neuroblastoma cells
Neuroblastoma is a common solid malignant tumor of the sympathetic nervous system, which contributes to 15% of cancer‑related mortality in children. The differentiation status of neuroblastoma is correlated with clinical outcome, and the induction of differentiation thus constitutes a therapeutic approach in this disease. However, the molecular mechanisms that control the differentiation of neu...
متن کاملTumor and Stem Cell Biology HOXC9 Links Cell-Cycle Exit and Neuronal Differentiation and Is a Prognostic Marker in Neuroblastoma
Differentiation status in neuroblastoma strongly affects clinical outcomes and inducing differentiation is a treatment strategy in this disease. However, the molecular mechanisms that control neuroblastoma differentiation are not well understood. Here, we show that high-level HOXC9 expression is associated with neuroblastoma differentiation and is prognostic for better survival in neuroblastoma...
