Monitoring cell morphology of neuroblastoma cells expressing full-length BAP1 showed that these cells but not the cells expressing a control plasmid or the cells expressing a catalytically inactive mutant of BAP1 (BAP1-C91A) facilitated neurite outgrowth 72–96 h post transfection (Fig. 1c, d and Supplementary Fig. 3). This evidence concerns the gene BAP1 and neuroblastoma.
