MYCN-induced nucleolar stress drives an early senescence-like transcriptional program in hTERT-immortalized RPE cells
Abstract MYCN is an oncogenic driver in neural crest-derived neuroblastoma and medulloblastoma. To better understand the early effects of MYCN activation in a neural-crest lineage context, we profiled the transcriptome of immortalized human retina pigment epithelial cells with inducible MYCN activat...
