It was shown that co-overexpression of BIRC5 in Tg(dβh:eGFP-MYCN) transgenic zebrafish promotes the development and growth of MYCN-driven NB (Dolman et al., in review) in keeping with data from Hipp et al. showing that survivin enhanced the tumorigenic functions of MYCN in Rat1 fibroblasts [105]. This evidence concerns the gene MYCN and neuroblastoma.
