| Description | Expression profiling of 440 cancer-related genes in two neuroblastoma cell lines, SK-N-BE(2) a SH-SY5Y, after combined treatment with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and LOX/COX inhibitors was performed. Cluster analyses of the changes in gene expression showed the concentration-dependent increase in genes known to be involved in the process of retinoid-induced neuronal differentiation, especially in cytoskeleton remodeling. These changes were detected in both cell lines, and they were independent of the type of specific inhibitors, suggesting a common mechanism of ATRA-induced differentiation enhancement. |
