A c-Myc-regulated stem cell-like signature in high-risk neuroblastoma: A systematic discovery (Target neuroblastoma ESC-like signature)
Abstract c-Myc dysregulation is hypothesized to account for the ‘stemness’ – self-renewal and pluripotency – shared between embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and adult aggressive tumours. High-risk neuroblastoma (HR-NB) is the most frequent, aggressive, extracranial solid tumour in childhood. Using HR-NB...

Abstract c-Myc dysregulation is hypothesized to account for the ‘stemness’ – self-renewal and pluripotency – shared between embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and adult aggressive tumours.

Using HR-NB as a platform, we performed a network analysis of transcriptome data and presented a c-Myc subnetwork enriched for genes previously reported as ESC-like cancer signatures.
