Silencing of MYCN by RNA interference induces growth inhibition, apoptotic activity and cell differentiation in a neuroblastoma cell line with MYCN amplification
1 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
Although it has been suggested that the MYCN oncoprotein functions may influence tumorigenesis and patient survival in neuroblastoma, the mechanism of these functions remains unclear. To elucidate such molecular and biological mechanisms, we performed knock-down of MYCN expression using RNA interference (RNAi) method. MYCN-siRNAs (MYCN-siRNA) were transfected into the MYCN-amplified cell line NB-1. To verify the...
