STMN1 and neuroblastoma: MiRNAs are well known to be a key component driving tumour metastasis in many different cancers including neuroblastoma.12,13,23,24 Here, we identified 12 deregulated miRNAs resulting from the stable knockdown of stathmin expression in the SK-N-BE(2) neuroblastoma cells and validated three of them including miR-382, which has been identified as an important regulator of tumour metastasis.25–28 We found that miR-382 was upregulated in stathmin-depleted cells that we have previously demonstrated to have a reduced metastatic potential.9,10
