To study whether DEPP is a direct target of FOXO3 in neuroblastoma cells, quantitative RT-PCR analysis of SH-EP/FOXO3 cells treated with 75 nM 4OHT and with 10 μg/ml of the protein biosynthesis inhibitor cycloheximide (CHX) for 2 hours was performed. The gene discussed is FOXO3; the disease is neuroblastoma.
