NEAT1 and neuroblastoma: To experimentally search for changes in the cholinergic relationships of DANCR and NEAT1 within the nervous system, we subjected a female-originated neuroblastoma cell line (LA-N-2) to ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF)-induced cholinergic differentiation and compared the expression levels of both DANCR and NEAT1 before and after differentiation (Figure 3G).
