Fenretinide-induced caspase-8 activation and apoptosis in an established model of metastatic neuroblastomaGilda Raguenez
Centre National de Recherche Scientifique, Unité Mixte de Recherche 8126, Institut Fédératif de Recherche 54, Institut Gustave Roussy, Villejuif, France
BMC Cancer 9:97. 2009..As the role of caspase-8 appears to be critical in preventing metastasis, we aimed at studying the effect of 4-HPR on caspase-8 expression in metastatic neuroblasts...
Histone deacetylase inhibitors strongly sensitise neuroblastoma cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis by a caspases-dependent increase of the pro- to anti-apoptotic proteins ratioAnnick Muhlethaler-Mottet
Paediatric Oncology Research, Paediatric Department, University Hospital CHUV, CH 1011 Lausanne, Switzerland
BMC Cancer 6:214. 2006..Although HDACIs were recently shown to increase death induced by TRAIL in weakly TRAIL-sensitive tumour cells, the precise involved sensitisation mechanisms have not been fully identified...
Complex molecular mechanisms cooperate to mediate histone deacetylase inhibitors anti-tumour activity in neuroblastoma cellsAnnick Muhlethaler-Mottet
Paediatric Oncology Research, Paediatric Department, University Hospital CHUV, CH 1011 Lausanne, Switzerland
Mol Cancer 7:55. 2008..Neuroblastoma (NB) is the second most common solid tumour in children still associated with poor outcome in higher stages and, thus NB strongly requires novel treatment modalities...
Individual caspase-10 isoforms play distinct and opposing roles in the initiation of death receptor-mediated tumour cell apoptosisA Muhlethaler-Mottet
Department of Paediatrics, Paediatric Oncology Research, University Hospital CHUV, CH 1011 Lausanne, Switzerland
Cell Death Dis 2:e125. 2011..These data highlight in several tumour cell types, a differential pro- or anti-apoptotic role for the distinct caspase-10 isoforms in DR signalling, which may be relevant for fine tuning of apoptosis initiation...
The Wnt receptor FZD1 mediates chemoresistance in neuroblastoma through activation of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathwayM Flahaut
Department of Paediatrics, University Hospital CHUV, Lausanne, Switzerland
Oncogene 28:2245-56. 2009..Our data represent the first implication of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway in NB chemoresistance and identify potential new targets to treat aggressive and resistant NB...
Molecular cytogenetic characterization of doxorubicin-resistant neuroblastoma cell lines: evidence that acquired multidrug resistance results from a unique large amplification of the 7q21 regionMarjorie Flahaut
Paediatric Oncology Research, Paediatric Department, University Hospital CHUV, Lausanne, Switzerland
Genes Chromosomes Cancer 45:495-508. 2006..These results could lead to the identification of relevant target genes for the development of new therapeutic modalities...
The chemokine receptor CXCR4 strongly promotes neuroblastoma primary tumour and metastatic growth, but not invasionRoland Meier
Department of Paediatrics, Paediatric Oncology Research, University Hospital Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland
PLoS ONE 2:e1016. 2007..In conclusion, this study reveals a yet unreported NB-specific predominant growth and survival-promoting role of CXCR4, which warrants a critical reconsideration of the role of CXCR4 in the malignant behaviour of NB and other cancers...
