Abstract:Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are novel chemotherapy agents with potential utility in the treatment of neuroblastoma, the most frequent solid tumor of childhood. Previous studies have shown that the exposure of human neuroblastoma cells to some HDAC inhibitors enhanced the expression of the common neurotrophin receptor p75NTR. In the present study we investigated whether the upregulation of p75NTR could be exploited to render neuroblastoma cells susceptible to the cytotoxic action of an anti-p75NTR ant… 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.
