چکیده
Present: Due to an error made during the assembly of Figure 6A, the same image panel was inadvertently used for both the RhoA-V14+met (Column 4, Row 1) and Rac1-N17+met (Column 2, Row 2). FIGURE 6: Rho GTPase inhibitors attenuate metformin effects on the survival of neuroblastoma cells. (A) Fluorescence images showing the signals of GFP-Rac1, GFP-Cdc42 and GFP-RhoA in SH-SY5Y cells. Cells were infected with adenoviruses expressing GFP-fused dominant–negative Rac1-N17 and Cdc42-N17, and constitutively active RhoA-V14. GFP alone were used as control. After 24 h infection, cells were treated with metformin (10 mM) and further grown for 6 days and photographed. Scale= 200 µm. Number of GFP-containing cells (green) was counted from 10 random fields and plotted.

Metformin impairs Rho GTPase signaling to induce apoptosis in neuroblastoma cells and inhibits growth of tumors in the xenograft mouse model of neuroblastoma
Metformin has been shown to inhibit tumor growth in xenograft rodent models of adult cancers, and various human clinical trials are in progress. However, the precise molecular mechanisms of metformin action are largely unknown. In the present study we examined the anti-tumor activity of metformin against neuroblastoma, and determined the underlying signaling mechanisms. Using human neuroblastom...
متن کاملMolecular Markers in Neuroblastoma
Neuroblastoma, one of the common malignant childhood tumors, arises from neuroblast cells derived from theneural crest and destined for the adrenal medulla and the sympathetic nervous system and shows remarkable biologicalheterogeneity, resulting in favorable or unfavorable outcomes. Some tumors make rapid progress with a fataloutcome. In other instances, the tumors regress spontaneously in inf...
متن کاملLong non-coding RNA FOXO1 inhibits lung cancer cell growth through down-regulating PI3K/AKT signaling pathway
Objective(s): Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors, which seriously threatens the health and life of the people. Recently, a novel long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) termed lncFOXO1 was found and investigated in breast cancer. However, the effect of lncFOXO1 on lung cancer is still ambiguous. The current study aimed to uncover the functions of lncFOXO1 in l...
متن کاملInvolvement of Mu Opioid Receptor Signaling in The Protective Effect of Opioid against 6-Hydroxydopamine-Induced SH-SY5Y Human Neuroblastoma Cells Apoptosis
Introduction: The neuroprotective role of opioid morphine against 6-hydroxydopamineinduced cell death has been demonstrated. However, the exact mechanism(s) underlying such neuroprotection, especially the role of subtype receptors, has not yet been fully clarified. Methods: Here, we investigated the effects of different opioid agonists on 6-OHDA-induced neurotoxicity in human neuroblastoma...
متن کاملSorafenib inhibits neuroblastoma cell proliferation and signaling, blocks angiogenesis, and impairs tumor growth.
BACKGROUND More effective therapy for children with high-risk neuroblastoma is desperately needed. Preclinical studies have shown that neuroblastoma tumor growth can be inhibited by agents that block angiogenesis. We hypothesized that drugs which target both neuroblastoma cells and tumor angiogenesis would have potent anti-tumor activity. In this study we tested the effects of sorafenib, a mult...
