Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 is a key regulator of the MYCN oncoprotein in neuroblastoma cells
15 Nov 2014
Abstract excerpt
Approximately half of poor prognosis neuroblastomas (NBs) are characterized by pathognomonic MYCN gene amplification and MYCN over-expression. Here we present data showing that short-interfering RNA mediated depletion of the protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) in cell-lines representative of NBs with MYCN gene amplification leads to greatly impaired growth and apoptosis. Growth suppression is not...
