| neuroblastoma;Neurological | The aim of this study was to investigate gene expression changes in disseminatedneuroblastoma by cDNA array technique. Three stage IV neuroblastomas and one neuroblastoma cell line (SK-N-FI) were analyzed. expression profiles were confirmed by semiquantitative RT-PCR and in some instances by Northern blotting.Comparison of expression profiles identified several genes which were highly expressed as well as some which were down-regulated in tumor samples relatively to SK-N-FI cells. The tumors studied lacked N-myc overexpression, while showing up-regulation of basic transcription factors, growth factors and receptors such as NSEP, c-myc binding protein MM1, thymosin beta10 (TMSB10), TNF-R superfamily member 10A (TNFRSF10A) and FZ9. These results suggest that cDNA array technologyis a powerful tool to identify a set of genes involved in neuroblastoma genesis and progression. Thus, the sensitive cDNA array may provide new insight into many aspects of pediatric tumors and play crucial role in the administration of adjuvant therapy of patients with neuroblastoma. |
