TARGET study associated RNA signatures of cytotoxic tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes with the presence of activated NK-/T-cells and suggested improved outcomes in newly diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma patients with MYCN-NA tumor.

Oncogene

Authors identified transcription factor activating protein 4 (TFAP4) as a critical effector of MYCN amplification in neuroblastoma and showed that silencing TFAP4 inhibits MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma cell growth. 

Cancer Discovery

Scientists proposed a framework to investigate the genomic alterations in neuroblastoma subtypes and identified TEAD4, a transcription factor, as a novel target for therapy.

Nature

This study by TARGET researchers analyzed DNA changes and sequenced the genomes, exomes, and transcriptomes of 1,699 pediatric leukemia and solid tumors. Out of the 142 genes associated with cancer in these pediatric patients, only 45% matched those found in similar studies of adult cancers.
