Our previous studies have shown that downregulation of stathmin led to a decrease in cell migration and invasion in both in vitro and in vivo neuroblastoma metastasis models.9,10 Here, we have found that in stathmin-depleted cells, PTPN14 expression is downregulated, suggesting a compensatory mechanism in stathmin-depleted neuroblastoma cells. This evidence concerns the gene STMN1 and neuroblastoma.
