Background: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are related to the development and treatment of neuroblastoma. The lncRNA LINC00839 is dysregulated in neuroblastoma, while its function and mechanism in neuroblastoma development remain largely unclear.

Methods: The tumor and adjacent noncancerous tissues were collected from 48 neuroblastoma patients. LINC00839, glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) and microRNA-338-3p (miR-338-3p) abundances were examined via quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction or Western blot. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion and glycolysis were assessed via Cell Counting Kit-8, colony formation, flow cytometry, wound healing, transwell, glucose uptake and lactate production. The target relationship of miR-338-3p and LINC00839 or GLUT1 was tested via dual-luciferase reporter analysis and RNA immunoprecipitation. The function of LINC00839 on neuroblastoma cell growth in vivo was tested via a xenograft model.

Results: LINC00839 and GLUT1 abundances were increased in neuroblastoma tissues and cell lines. The high expression of LINC00839 and GLUT1 indicated the lower overall survival. LINC00839 interference constrained neuroblastoma cell proliferation, migration, invasion and glycolysis, and facilitated apoptosis. GLUT1 overexpression or miR-338-3p knockdown could mitigate the influence of LINC00839 silence on neuroblastoma cell processes. LINC00839 could regulate GLUT1 expression via miR-338-3p. LINC00839 knockdown reduced neuroblastoma cell growth in xenograft model.

Conclusion: LINC00839 silence repressed neuroblastoma cell proliferation, migration, invasion and glycolysis and promoted apoptosis via regulating miR-338-3p/GLUT1 axis.

Rare inherited diseases caused by mutations in the copper transporters (CTR1) or induce copper deficiency in the brain, causing seizures and neurodegeneration in infancy through poorly understood mechanisms. Here, we used multiple model systems to characterize the molecular mechanisms by which neuronal cells respond to copper deficiency. Targeted deletion of CTR1 in neuroblastoma cells produced copper deficiency that produced a metabolic shift favoring glycolysis over oxidative phosphorylation.

Microtubule associated protein 2 (MAP2) interacts with the regulatory protein 14-3-3ζ in a cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) phosphorylation dependent manner. Using selective phosphorylation, calorimetry, nuclear magnetic resonance, chemical crosslinking, and X-ray crystallography, we characterized interactions of 14-3-3ζ with various binding regions of MAP2c. Although PKA phosphorylation increases the affinity of MAP2c for 14-3-3ζ in the proline rich region and C-terminal domain, unphosphorylated MAP2c also binds the dimeric 14-3-3ζ via its microtubule binding domain and variable central domain.

Background: Neuroblastoma, a prevalent extracranial solid tumor in pediatric patients, demonstrates significant clinical heterogeneity, ranging from spontaneous regression to aggressive metastatic disease. Despite advances in treatment, high-risk neuroblastoma remains associated with poor survival. SLC1A5, a key glutamine transporter, plays a dual role in promoting tumor growth and immune modulation.

Unlabelled: Neuroblastoma (NB) is a highly vascularized pediatric tumor arising from undifferentiated neural crest cells early in life, exhibiting both traditional endothelial-cell-driven vasculature and an intriguing alternative vasculature. The alternative vasculature can arise from cancer cells undergoing transdifferentiation into tumor-derived endothelial cells (TEC), a trait associated with drug resistance and tumor relapse. The lack of effective treatments targeting NB vasculature primarily arises from the challenge of establishing predictive in vitro models that faithfully replicate the alternative vasculature phenomenon.

Background: The most prevalent extracranial solid tumor in childhood is neuroblastoma (NB), which arises from undifferentiated neural crest cells. However, the prognosis of this condition remains unfavorable, and the underlying mechanisms of its origin are still elusive. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the specific mechanism underlying NEAT1-1 in NB.
