Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Neuroblastoma is a pediatric embryonal malignancy characterized by impaired neuronal differentiation. Differentiation status in neuroblastoma strongly affects the clinical outcome, thus, enforcement of differentiation becomes a treatment strategy for this disease. However, the molecular mechanisms that control neuroblastoma differentiation are poorly understood. As an extensively studied protein of the activator protein-1 (AP-1) complex, c-Jun is involved in numerous cell regulations such as proliferation, survival and differentiation. In the current study, we demonstrated that c-Jun expression was upregulated by retinoic acid (RA) and flow cytometry assay indicated c-Jun overexpression arrested cell cycle to G1 phase, which, in turn, promoted the initiation of neuroblastoma cell differentiation. Co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) assay showed that c-Jun competitively interacted with CDC16, a key subunit in anaphase-promoting complex (APC), resulting in reduced APC formation and inhibition of cell cycle progression. Furthermore, EdU proliferation assay and transwell experiment showed that c-Jun overexpression inhibited neuroblastoma cell proliferation and migration via interacting and sequestering CDC16. These findings identify c-Jun as a key regulator of neuroblastoma cell cycle and differentiation and may represent a promising therapeutic target to induce neuroblastoma differentiation via the interaction between c-Jun and CDC16.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
