Neuroblastoma (NB) is a pediatric malignancy characterized by a marked reduction in aerobic energy metabolism. Recent preclinical data indicate that targeting this metabolic phenotype by a ketogenic diet (KD), especially in combination with calorie restriction, slows tumor growth and enhances
BACKGROUND
Reports on metabolic syndrome in nephroblastoma and neuroblastoma survivors are scarce. Aim was to evaluate the occurrence of and the contribution of treatment regimens to the metabolic syndrome.
METHODS
In this prospective study 164 subjects participated (67 adult long-term
We observed that retinoic acid, which differentiates the human neuroblastoma SK-N-BE into mature neurons, induced an elevation in levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially arachidonic acid (20:4 n-6). This effect was not induced by phorbol myristate acetate, another differentiating agent. We
Alzheimer's is a complex neurodegenerative disease and is characterized by extraneuronal accumulation of β-amyloid peptide. Because of its complex nature, multi-target directed ligands (MTDLs) are increasingly being considered as promising anti-Alzheimer therapeutic agents. This study Effects of 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) were studied on two neuroblastoma and two leukemia cell lines, in terms of the relationship between prostaglandin (PG) synthesis and cell growth/differentiation. After treatment with BrdU (5 micrograms/ml), cell growth of the 4 cell lines was inhibited and
BACKGROUND
Ethanol induces apoptosis in cultured neurons. To assess the involvement of sphingolipids and neutral lipids in the apoptotic process, ethanol-induced alterations in lipid content and metabolism were examined by using primary cultured rat cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs), human
Distribution in dynamics of [1-14C]N-palmitoyl ethanolamine in the subcellular fractions of neuroblastoma C1300 N18 has been studied. It is shown that distribution dynamics of the label is different depending on subcellular fractions. The level of the label in cytoplasm 15 min after incubation
BACKGROUND
Adrenal insufficiency, or relative insufficiency, might partly explain increased mortality rates in nephroblastoma and neuroblastoma survivors after unilateral adrenalectomy.
OBJECTIVE
To assess adrenal function and its metabolic effects in survivors after adrenalectomy.
METHODS
In this
TNP-470 (AGM-1470, O-(chloroacetylcarbamoyl) fumagillol), which strongly inhibits the angiogenesis, is promising as a new drug for tumor dormancy therapy; however, TNP-470 is very unstable in vitro and in vivo. We previously prepared TNP-470 containing microspheres composed of poly (lactic acid)
BACKGROUND
The "metabolic competition" for nutrients between cancer cells and the patient has emerged as an important research area. For pediatric oncology, it remains unclear whether the neuroendokrine regulation of appetite by gastrointestinal hormones such as ghrelin "eat", GLP-1 (glucagon-like
Previously, we demonstrated in cultured dorsal root ganglion neurons that, in the presence of beta-migrating very low density lipoproteins (beta-VLDL), apolipoprotein (apo) E4, but not apoE3, suppresses neurite outgrowth. In the current studies, murine neuroblastoma cells (Neuro-2a) were stably
Two human neuroblastoma cell lines, NCG and GOTO, were used to study the cytotoxic effect of gamma linolenic acid (GLA). The cell growth inhibition of these culture cells by GLA was found to be associated with striking membrane fatty acid modification. When culture cells were exposed to 20
BACKGROUND
Postoperative chylous leakage is a rare complication that results from disruption of either mediastinal or retroperitoneal lymphatic channels during dissection or from obstruction by original lesions such as a malignancy. There is lack of clinical experience in pediatric patients about
Alzheimer's is a complex neurodegenerative disease and is characterized by extraneuronal accumulation of β-amyloid peptide. Because of its complex nature, multi-target directed ligands (MTDLs) are increasingly being considered as promising anti-Alzheimer therapeutic agents. This study SK-N-BE cells were differentiated (D) to neurons with retinoic acid. Total n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), especially arachidonic acid (AA), were increased in D versus ND cells. AA synthesis from linoleic acid (LA) and phospholipid (PL) synthesis from glycerol were initially elevated,
