Expressional alterations in functional ultra-conserved non-coding rnas in response to all-transretinoic acid - induced differentiation in neuroblastoma cells
8 Apr 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Ultra-conserved regions (UCRs) are segments of the genome (≥ 200 bp) that exhibit 100% DNA sequence conservation between human, mouse and rat. Transcribed UCRs (T-UCRs) have been shown to be differentially expressed in cancers versus normal tissue, indicating a possible role in carcinogenesis. All-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) causes some neuroblastoma (NB) cell lines to undergo differentiation and leads...
