Polyamine Metabolism Is Sensitive to Glycolysis Inhibition in Human Neuroblastoma Cells
16 Jan 2015
Abstract excerpt
Polyamines are essential for cell proliferation, and their levels are elevated in many human tumors. The oncogene n-myc is known to potentiate polyamine metabolism. Neuroblastoma, the most frequent extracranial solid tumor in children, harbors the amplification of n-myc oncogene in 25% of the cases, and it is associated with treatment failure and poor prognosis. We evaluated several metabolic features of the...
