MYC transcription activation mediated by OCT4 as a mechanism of resistance to 13-cisRA-mediated differentiation in neuroblastoma
14 May 2020
Abstract excerpt
Despite the improvement in clinical outcome with 13-cis-retinoic acid (13-cisRA) + anti-GD2 antibody + cytokine immunotherapy given in first response ~40% of high-risk neuroblastoma patients die of recurrent disease. MYCN genomic amplification is a biomarker of aggressive tumors in the childhood cancer neuroblastoma. MYCN expression is downregulated by 13-cisRA, a differentiating agent that is a component of...
