Abstract excerpt
Advanced stage neuroblastomas (NB) exhibit a tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-2/matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) imbalance, considered a prerequisite for MMP involvement in tumor progression in vivo. Human SH-SY5Y NB cells exhibit a similar TIMP-2/MMP imbalance that promotes in vitro invasive behavior that is inhibited by exogenous TIMP-2. The DNA methyltransferase inhibitor 5-azacytidine (5-AzaC)...
