Macrophage-Derived IL1β and TNFα Regulate Arginine Metabolism in Neuroblastoma
13 Dec 2018
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Neuroblastoma is the most common childhood solid tumor, yet the prognosis for high-risk disease remains poor. We demonstrate here that arginase 2 (ARG2) drives neuroblastoma cell proliferation via regulation of arginine metabolism. Targeting arginine metabolism, either by blocking cationic amino acid transporter 1 (CAT-1)–dependent arginine uptake in vitro or therapeutic depletion of arginine by...
