✦ Synopsis
In a previous report, 1 we showed that mycophenolic acid (MPA), at concentrations readily attainable during immunosuppressive therapy (0.1-10 M), using its mycophenolate mofetil prodrug, causes a decrease of intracellular levels of guanine nucleotides, G 1 arrest and time-and dose-dependent death by apoptosis. The first effect appears to be the consequence of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH)

The human neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-BE, after incubation with 10 mM retinoic acid (RA) or 20 nM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), underwent biochemical and morphological signs of differentiation within 10-14 days. In parallel, SK-N-BE cells produced significantly higher amounts of nitric oxi
## Abstract To investigate the alteration of nuclear matrix proteins (NMPs) during the differentiation of neuroblastoma SK‐N‐SH cells induced by retinoic acid (RA), differentiation markers were detected by immunocytochemistry and NMPs were selectively extracted and subjected to two‐dimensional gel
Human SK-N-AS neuroblastoma and U-87MG glioblastoma cell lines were found to secrete relatively high levels of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF). In response to growth factors, cytokines, and pharmacophores, the two cell lines differentially regulated GDNF release. A 24-hr exposure
## Abstract The aim of the present study was to assess whether exposure to a sinusoidal extremely low frequency magnetic field (ELF‐MF; 50 Hz, 1 mT) can affect proliferation and differentiation in the human neuroblastoma cell line BE(2)C, which is representative of high risk neuroblastomas. Cells w
The Na / pump (Na / , K / -ATPase) has been implicated in the regulation of many cellular functions, including cell volume regulation. The effects of inhibiting Na / pump activity on cell volume and taurine efflux were evaluated in the human neuroblastoma cell line CHP-100. Cell volume changes monit
