摘要: Chemoresistance and increased expression of TrkB brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are biomarkers poor prognosis in tumors from patients with neuroblastoma (NB). Previously, we found BDNF activation through PI3K/Akt protects NB etoposide/cisplatin-induced cell death. In this study, the role Bim, a proapoptotic protein, was investigated. Bim involved paclitaxel but not etoposide or cisplatin-induced death cells. Pharmacological genetic studies showed that BDNF-induced decreases were regulated by MAPK pathway. Both PI3K pathways protection cells paclitaxel-induced death, while predominantly mediated These data indicate different chemotherapeutic drugs induce distinct growth factors utilize signal transduction to modulate effects chemotherapy on
