The role of formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1) in neuroblastoma tumorigenesis
18 Jul 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1) is a G protein-coupled receptor mainly expressed by the cells of myeloid origin, where it mediates the innate immune response to bacterial formylated peptides. High expression of FPR1 has been detected in various cancers but the function of FPR1 in tumorigenesis is poorly understood. METHODS: Expression of FPR1 in neuroblastoma cell lines and primary tumors was studied...
