alanine and Neuroblastoma

alanine has been researched along with Neuroblastoma in 18 studies

Alanine: A non-essential amino acid that occurs in high levels in its free state in plasma. It is produced from pyruvate by transamination. It is involved in sugar and acid metabolism, increases IMMUNITY, and provides energy for muscle tissue, BRAIN, and the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.
alanine : An alpha-amino acid that consists of propionic acid bearing an amino substituent at position 2.

Neuroblastoma: A common neoplasm of early childhood arising from neural crest cells in the sympathetic nervous system, and characterized by diverse clinical behavior, ranging from spontaneous remission to rapid metastatic progression and death. This tumor is the most common intraabdominal malignancy of childhood, but it may also arise from thorax, neck, or rarely occur in the central nervous system. Histologic features include uniform round cells with hyperchromatic nuclei arranged in nests and separated by fibrovascular septa. Neuroblastomas may be associated with the opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome. (From DeVita et al., Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology, 5th ed, pp2099-2101; Curr Opin Oncol 1998 Jan;10(1):43-51)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The ability of G protein-coupled receptors to regulate osmosensitive uptake of the organic osmolyte, taurine, into human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells has been examined."7.75Muscarinic receptor regulation of osmosensitive taurine transport in human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. ( Banerjee, R; Fisher, SK; Foster, DJ; Heacock, AM; Vitvitsky, VM, 2009)
"Effects of alaproclate, an inhibitor of the uptake of serotonin, on muscarinic cholinergic responses in N1E-115 neuroblastoma cells were studied using intracellular recording techniques."7.67Alaproclate inhibits potassium currents and thereby enhances muscarinic stimulation in N1E-115 neuroblastoma cells.

( Banerjee, R; Fisher, SK; Foster, DJ; Heacock, AM; Vitvitsky, VM, 2009)
"The role of glutamine and alanine transport in the recycling of neurotransmitter glutamate was investigated in Guinea pig brain cortical tissue slices and prisms, and in cultured neuroblastoma and astrocyte cell lines."3.72Inhibition of glutamine transport depletes glutamate and GABA neurotransmitter pools: further evidence for metabolic compartmentation. ( Balcar, VJ; Bröer, A; Bröer, S; Bubb, WA; Conigrave, AD; Hare, N; McEwan, SR; McQuillan, JA; Rae, C, 2003)
" The spectra from meningiomas, neuroblastomas, and glioblastomas displayed, in addition to similarities-including the presence of signals from leucine, isoleucine, valine, threonine, lactate, acetate, glutamate, choline-containing compounds and glycine-certain distinguishing metabolic features."3.69Characteristic metabolic profiles revealed by 1H NMR spectroscopy for three types of human brain and nervous system tumours. ( Bhakoo, KK; Florian, CL; Noble, M; Preece, NE; Williams, SR, 1995)
" MDA-MB-435 human breast carcinoma cells were transfected with a control expression vector (pCMVBamneo), the vector containing the wild type nm23-H1, or the nm23-H1 vector encoding mutations at the following amino acids: serine 44, a phosphorylation site; proline 96, the k-pn mutation in the Drosophila nm23 homolog that causes developmental defects; histidine 118, involved in Nm23's nucleoside diphosphate kinase activity; and serine 120, a site of mutation in human neuroblastomas and phosphorylation."3.69Site-directed mutagenesis of nm23-H1. Mutation of proline 96 or serine 120 abrogates its motility inhibitory activity upon transfection into human breast carcinoma cells.
