Lipid Metabolic Reprogramming in Embryonal Neoplasms with MYCN Amplification. [PDF]
Tumor cells reprogram their metabolism, including glucose, glutamine, nucleotide, lipid, and amino acids to meet their enhanced energy demands, redox balance, and requirement of biosynthetic substrates for uncontrolled cell proliferation. Altered lipid metabolism in cancer provides lipids for rapid membrane biogenesis, generates the energy required for

MYCN amplification and ATRX mutations are incompatible in neuroblastoma. [PDF]
Abstract Aggressive cancers often have activating mutations in growth-controlling oncogenes and inactivating mutations in tumor-suppressor genes. In neuroblastoma, amplification of the MYCN oncogene and inactivation of the ATRX tumor ...

Therapeutic potential of targeting MYCN: A case series report of neuroblastoma with MYCN amplification. [PDF]
Neuroblastoma (NB) with MYCN amplification has a poor prognosis and high mortality. The potential molecular biological relationship between clinical features and MYCN amplification should be explored.NB patients were examined by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for MYCN amplification in the tumor mass or bone marrow samples to determine ...

Definition of parameters and thresholds to detect MYCN amplification in retinoblastomas. [PDF]
Retinoblastoma is a malignant childhood neoplasm where MYCN amplification defines a subset of tumors with worse prognosis. FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) represents a fast and reliable method to measure gene copy numbers in various tumors but has not yet been systematically evaluated in retinoblastoma.

MYCN amplification drives an aggressive form of spinal ependymoma. [PDF]
Spinal ependymal tumors form a histologically and molecularly heterogeneous group of tumors with generally good prognosis. However, their treatment can be challenging if infiltration of the spinal cord or dissemination throughout the central nervous system (CNS) occurs and, in these cases, clinical outcome remains poor.
