By studying human neuroblastoma cells in vitro and after xenotransplantation into mice and chicks, a team of researchers, led by Patrick Mehlen, at Universite de Lyon, France, has identified the protein NT-3 and the cell-surface molecule to which it binds (TrkC).
-
In vitro analysis of human neuroblastoma cell lines indicated that both decreasing NT-3 expression and culturing in the presence of an antibody that blocked NT-3 binding to TrkC triggered the cells to undergo apoptosis.

-
More importantly, blocking the NT-3/TrkC interaction inhibited tumor growth and metastasis in both a chick and a mouse xenograft model of neuroblastoma.
-
In the study, NT-3 was found to be expressed at increased levels in aggressive human neuroblastomas and to block the ability of TrkC to induce tumor cell death by a process known as apoptosis.
-
The authors therefore suggest that disrupting the NT-3/TrkC interaction might provide a new approach to treating neuroblastoma, a form of cancer for which treatment options are currently limited.
