Reversible adaptive plasticity: a mechanism for neuroblastoma cell heterogeneity and chemo-resistance
1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
We describe a novel form of tumor cell plasticity characterized by reversible adaptive plasticity in murine and human neuroblastoma. Two cellular phenotypes were defined by their ability to exhibit adhered, anchorage dependent (AD) or sphere forming, anchorage independent (AI) growth. The tumor cells could transition back and forth between the two phenotypes and the transition was dependent on the culture...
