VRK1: a protein that reduces the survival of patients with neuroblastoma


 E-Mail
Researchers from the Departments of Cell Biology and Medical Physiology at the University of Seville have identified that a high expression of the human protein VRK1 is associated with tumour aggressiveness and low survival among neuroblastoma patients. Aggressive neuroblastoma is one of the most common solid childhood cancers and causes disproportionately high mortality in affected children. Although advances have been made in recent years, the outlook for recovery in children affected by aggressive neuroblastoma remains low and a better understanding of this tumour s biology is needed in order to create new treatments and prognostic tools.
Researchers have characterised the function of VRK1 in neuroblastoma tumour cells and have determined that this protein is essential for tumour cell growth and proliferation. By studying the expression of this protein in tumours, we were able to identify a priori patients where tumour progression is going to be worse, even i ....
