Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1060: Identification of GB3 as a Novel Biomarker of Tumor-Derived Vasculature in Neuroblastoma Using a Stiffness-Based Model
osep Samitier Neuroblastoma (NB) is a childhood cancer in sympathetic nervous system cells. NB exhibits cellular heterogeneity, with adrenergic and mesenchymal states displaying distinct tumorigenic potentials. NB is highly vascularized, and blood vessels can form through various mechanisms, including endothelial transdifferentiation, leading to the development of tumor-derived endothelial cells (TECs) associated with chemoresistance. We lack specific biomarkers for TECs. Therefore, identifying new TEC biomarkers is vital for effective NB therapies. A stiffness-based platform simulating human arterial and venous stiffn...

2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin and kynurenine induce Parkin expression in neuroblastoma cells through different signaling pathways mediated by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor
We describe here the molecular mechanism of AHR-mediated Parkin regulation in human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. Specifically, we report that the human Parkin gene (PRKN) is transcriptionally upregulated by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) through two different selective ligand-dependent pathways. 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), a stress-inducing AHR ligand, indirectly promotes PRKN transcription by inducing ATF4 expression via TCDD-mediated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. In contrast, kynurenine, a nontoxic AHR agonist, induces PRKN transcription by promoting AHR binding to the PRKN promoter without acti...

GSE240505 Histone lysine demethylase 4 family proteins maintain the transcriptional program and adrenergic cellular state of MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma [RNA-seq]
Contributors : Abu-Zaid Ahmed ; Singh Shivendra ; Fang Jie ; Jin Hongjian ; Yang JunSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Homo sapiens ; Mus musculusNeuroblastoma with MYCN amplification (MNA) is a high-risk disease that requires long-term intensive multimodal therapies. Less than 50% survival rate of high-risk patients has prompted active and extensive studies to seek more effective therapies against MNA neuroblastomas but with few successes. We show that MYCN transdifferentiates the neuroblastoma cells from mesenchymal state to adrenergic state accompanied with induction of histo...

Contributors : Fang Jie ; Ahmed Abu-Zaid ; Jin Hongjian ; Yang JunSeries Type : Genome binding/occupancy profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Homo sapiensNeuroblastoma with MYCN amplification (MNA) is a high-risk disease that requires long-term intensive multimodal therapies. Despite this, high-risk patients have a poor survival rate, which has prompted extensive studies aimed at identifying more effective therapies against neuroblastomas with MNA. Neuroblastoma displays cellular heterogeneity, including more differentiated (adrenergic) and more primitive (mesenchymal) cellular states. Here, we demonstrate...

Study of cytotoxicity in neuroblastoma cell line exposed to patulin and citrinin
This study investigated on the undifferentiated neuronal cell line SH-SY5Y the effects of two mycotoxins: patulin (PAT) and citrinin (CTN), which are predominantly produced by fungi species Penicillium and Aspergillus. Here, the individual and combined cytotoxicity of PAT and CTN was investigated using the cytotoxic assay MTT. Our findings indicate that after 24 h of treatment, the IC50 value for PAT is 2.01 μM, which decreases at 1.5 μM after 48 h. In contrast, CTN did not attain an IC50 value at the tested concentration. Therefore, we found PAT to be the more toxic compared to CTN. However, the combined treatment sugge...
