    Patient-derived orthotopic xenografts of pediatric brain tumors: a St. Jude resource

    Pediatric brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer-related death in children. Patient-derived orthotopic xenografts (PDOX) of childhood brain tumors have recently emerged as a biologically faithful vehicl...

    Caspase-9 and Apaf-1 are expressed and functionally active in human neuroblastoma tumor cell lines with 1p36 LOH and amplified MYCN

    Important roles have been suggested for caspase-8, caspase-9 and Apaf-1 in controlling tumor development and their sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents. Methylation and deletion of Apaf-1 and CASP8 results in t...

    Caspase 8 is deleted or silenced preferentially in childhood neuroblastomas with amplification of MYCN

    Caspase 8 is a cysteine protease regulated in both a death-receptor-dependent and -independent manner during apoptosis. Here, we report that the gene for caspase 8 is frequently inactivated in neuroblastoma, a...

    Alterations in the PITSLRE protein kinase gene complex on chromosome 1p36 in childhood neuroblastoma

    p58cdc2L1, a protein kinase implicated in apoptotic signaling, is one of eight separate kinases encoded by three tandemly duplicated and linked genes, which we have termed PITSLRE A, B and C. One allele of this c...

    β1–4-galactosyltransferase gene expression is regulated during entry into the cell cycle and during the cell cycle

    Mammalian glycosyltransferases have been implicated in a wide variety of functions besidesN-linked glycosylation, including developmental processes. For this reason, we studied the effects of cell cycle and entry...
