| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Spontaneous regression is an intriguing phenomenon which is linked to the development of therapy of cancers. We found spontaneous regression in the neuroblastoma model MYCN Tg mice.
In this study, we could culture spheres from all specimen at early cancer stage, i.e., 2 weeks after birth. Furthermore, we succeeded sphere culture of embryonic sympathetic ganglia of MYCN Tg mice. Using these samples, we should be able to perform analyses at genome, epigenome and transcriptome levels, which may in turn lead to elucidation of mechanisms underlying cancer development and spontaneous regression.
