pubmed:abstractText
Transfection of a neuroblastoma cell line with expression vectors containing two different segments of human c-myb complementary DNA in antisense orientation yielded far fewer transfectant clones than did the transfection with the identical segments in sense orientation. In cell clones expressing c-myb antisense RNA, levels of the c-myb protein were down-regulated and the proliferation rate was slower than that of cells transfected with sense constructs or the untransfected parental cell line. Treatment of neuroblastoma and neuroepithelioma cell lines with a c-myb antisense oligodeoxynucleotide strongly inhibited cell growth. These data indicate a definite involvement of c-myb in the proliferation of neuroectodermal tumor cells extending the role of this protooncogene beyond the hematopoietic system. The availability of cell clones that transcribe c-myb antisense RNA provides a useful tool to study the involvement of other genes in the proliferation and differentiation of neuroblastoma cells.
