Inhibition of focal adhesion kinase decreases tumor growth in human neuroblastoma
1 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor of childhood. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is an intracellular kinase that regulates both cellular adhesion and apoptosis. FAK is overexpressed in a number of human tumors including neuroblastoma. Previously, we have shown that the MYCN oncogene, the primary adverse prognostic indicator in neuroblastoma, regulates the expression of FAK in neuroblastoma. In...
