The SK-N-AS human neuroblastoma cell line develops osteolytic bone metastases with increased angiogenesis and COX-2 expression

Abstract: Neuroblastoma (NB), which arises from embryonic neural crest cells, is the most common extra-cranial solid tumor of childhood. Approximately half of NB patients manifest bone metastasis accompanied with bone pain, fractures and bone marrow failure, leading to disturbed quality of life and poor survival. To study the mechanism of bone metastasis of NB, we established an animal model in which intracardiac inoculation of the SK-N-AS human NB cells in nude mice developed osteolytic bone metastases with increased o… Show more

“…SH-SY5Y cells have low levels of migration and invasion, which are significantly greater when the level of endogenous TRPM2 is increased. To examine the effect of endogenous TRPM2 depletion on migration and invasion, SK-N-AS cells, which are an aggressive neuroblastoma cell line with high levels of migration and invasion 59 , were studied. TRPM2 depletion utilized CRISPR-Cas9 technology as described in " Materials and Methods ".…”

“…In parallel, TIMP-1, which negatively regulates MMP-9, was upregulated ( Figure 8 C). We investigated the effects on COX-2, a molecule that is associated with osteolytic bone metastasis in neuroblastoma [ 26 ], which promotes MMP expression. We observed that COX2 mRNA and protein expression were also downregulated ( Figure 8 A,B): in this case, a synergistic effect may be speculated.…”

“…Implanted in mice, SK-N-AS cells generate larger tumors with larger diameter tumor vessels compared to SK-N-DZ cells, possibly attributed to the increased VEGF protein expression in the SK-N-AS cell line (13). In addition, only SK-N-AS cells cause osteolytic bone metastases in nude mice (14), which is ascribed to high COX-2 and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) expression in this cell line. Different MYCN ampli cation status in these cells (15,16), with SK-N-AS having only a single copy while SK-N-DZ carries ampli ed MYCN, led to their use in studies focused on MYC related treatments such as combination of uridine and dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (17).…”
