MYCNamplification confers enhanced folate dependence and methotrexate sensitivity in neuroblastoma [PDF]
MYCN amplification occurs in 20% of neuroblastomas and is strongly related to poor clinical outcome. We have identified folate-mediated one-carbon metabolism as highly upregulated in neuroblastoma tumors with MYCN amplification and have validated this ...

MYCN in Neuroblastoma: “Old Wine into New Wineskins” [PDF]
MYCN Proto-Oncogene, BHLH Transcription Factor (MYCN) has been one of the most studied genes in neuroblastoma. It is known for its oncogenetic mechanisms, as well as its role in the prognosis of the disease and it is considered one of the prominent ...

Effects of preoperative chemotherapy on neuroblastoma with MYCN amplification: a surgeon's perspective. [PDF]
BackgroundPreoperative chemotherapy plays an important role in the surgical management of unresectable neuroblastoma. Its response to chemotherapy has been variable due to the tumor’s heterogeneity. We aimed to evaluate the effects of preoperative chemotherapy onMYCN-amplified (MYCNA) neuroblastoma that would impact on surgical resection ...

Rac GTPase regulation of 3D invasion in neuroblastomas lacking MYCN amplification. [PDF]
Neuroblastomas are highly invasive tumors that occur in pediatric patients and treatment of invasive disease remains a challenge. The study of cells invading in 3-dimensional (3D) hydrogels has revealed morphologically distinct modes of invasion by which

Dysregulated expression of MYC family genes is a hallmark of many malignancies. Unfortunately, these proteins are not amenable to blockade by small molecules or protein-based therapeutic agents.
