CO2 Pneumoperitoneum Effects on Molecular Markers of Tumor Invasiveness in SH-SY5Y Neuroblastoma Cells
Conclusion In our study, the hypoxic environment induced by CO2 exposure does not affect the expression of critical biomarkers of NB aggressiveness, such as N-Myc, VEGF, and MMP-2, in human SH-SY5Y NB cells without N-Myc amplification. These data suggest that CO2 pneumoperitoneum might not adversely impact NB cell invasiveness; however, it is necessary to evaluate these effects in others in vitro and in vivo models.
