Caspase‐8 Gene Expression in Neuroblastoma

Abstract excerpt

Neuroblastoma (NB) is a solid tumor of infancy that presents a high rate of spontaneous regression, a phenomenon that likely reflects the activation of an apoptotic/differentiation program. Indeed, the level of expression of molecules involved in the regulation of apoptosis, such as p73 or survivin, is a prognostic factor in NB patients. The caspase-8 gene (CASP8) encodes a key enzyme at the top of the apoptotic...
