The p53 regulatory gene <i>MDM2</i> is a direct transcriptional target of MYCN in neuroblastoma
11 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
The MYCN oncogene is the major negative prognostic marker in neuroblastoma with important roles in both the pathogenesis and clinical behavior of this aggressive malignancy. MYC oncogenes activate both proliferative and apoptotic cellular pathways and, accordingly, inhibition of p53-mediated apoptosis is a prerequisite for MYC-driven tumorigenesis. To identify novel transcriptional targets mediating the...
