To clarify whether SOX4 was the target gene regulating NB cell differentiation, the correlation between the expression of SOX4 and the survival of clinical patients was analyzed via the R2 database, SOX4 overexpression plasmids and siRNAs were generated to change the expression of SOX4, RT-qPCR and Western blot were performed to detect SOX4 expression, cell confluence or cell survival was detected by IncuCyte Zoom or CCK8 assay, immunocytochemistry staining was performed to detect cells’ neurites, and a cell cycle analysis was implemented using Flow cytometry after PI staining. This evidence concerns the gene SOX4 and neuroblastoma.
