Abstract excerpt
Recent evidence suggests an association between up-regulation of beta-catenin/Wnt signaling pathway and neuronal differentiation of neuroblastoma. We overexpressed beta-catenin into a human neuroblastoma cell line NB-1 and observed its effect on cellular morphology, growth potential and alteration in a known differentiation related gene, trkA. Expression plasmids containing wild-type and mutated forms of...
