Abstract:Background
The actin-binding protein filamin A (FLNA) regulates oncogenic signal transduction important for tumor growth, but the role of FLNA in the progression of neuroblastoma (NB) has not been explored.
Methods
We analyzed FLNA mRNA expression in the R2 NB-database and FLNA protein expression in human NB tumors. We then silenced FLNA expression in human SKNBE2 and IMR32 NB cells by lentiviral vector encoding shRNA FLNA an… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
