circ0125803 facilitates tumor progression by sponging miR-197-5p and upregulating E2F1 in neuroblastoma.

Background: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are one type of RNAs with many different functions. circRNAs are very crucial in human malignancy progression. However, few studies have investigated the function and exact mechanism of circRNAs in neuroblastoma.

Clinical characteristics and therapeutic outcomes of mediastinal neuroblastoma with intraspinal extension: a retrospective study.

Background: Mediastinal neuroblastoma (NB) can invade the spinal canal and result in spinal cord compression. Some patients go on to develop severe spinal deformities after decompression of the spinal cord. The optimal therapeutic strategy for mediastinal NB with intraspinal extension is still unclear.

Lack of associations between gene polymorphisms and neuroblastoma susceptibility in Chinese children.

Previous studies have demonstrated that polymorphisms in the gene are associated with various types of cancer. In neuroblastoma, protein product regulates N-myc protein levels and plays a critical role in tumorigenesis. To investigate the association between three polymorphisms (rs1047972 C>T, rs2273535 T>A, and rs8173 G>C) and neuroblastoma susceptibility in Chinese populations, we performed this two-center case-control study including 393 neuroblastoma cases and 812 controls.

RSRC1 and CPZ gene polymorphisms with neuroblastoma susceptibility in Chinese children.

Two new neuroblastoma susceptibility loci at 3q25 (RSRC1 rs6441201 G > A) and 4p16 (CPZ rs3796725 T > C and rs3796727 A > G) were identified by a genome-wide association study (GWAS) involving Italians, African Americans and European Americans. In this case-control study with 393 neuroblastoma cases and 812 controls, we investigated the association between these three polymorphisms and neuroblastoma susceptibility in Chinese population. We found that participants harboring the RSRC1 rs6441201A allele were associated with an increased risk of neuroblastoma (AA vs.
