MYC overexpression

STM2457 treatment attenuated the serine synthesis pathway, induced oxidative stress, and sensitized HCC cells to sorafenib and lenvatinib treatments. In conclusion, our findings suggest that targeting m6A could be a potential therapeutic strategy for HCC treatment.

Metastatic cells were enriched in the TGFB and VEGF pathways and their inhibition significantly reduced the metastatic burden. Our novel mouse model uncovered NOTCH1 as a driver of temporal plasticity and metastasis in HCC, the latter of which is, in part, mediated by angiogenesis and TGFß pathways.

Our study revealed that the combination of CAPE with docetaxel is more effective at reducing the proliferation and survival of NSCLC cells, and this is via inhibition of c-MYC. Combined therapy of docetaxel and CAPE may benefit patients with NSCLC.

The algorithm rescued 2 and 1 MYCr cases included in score 1 from both series. In conclusion, we suggest that both approaches combining the interpretation of CD10/LMO2/MYC by immunohistochemistry are useful to screen for MYCr.

These same resections were obtained from only individuals who had histories of alcohol consumption that were also diagnosed with cirrhosis, metastasis and had viral hepatitis suggesting etiology-specific mechanisms of cancer progression. Finally, analysis performed in Hep3B cells determined that alterations in MYC expression promoted the predicted changes in ZEB1 and MIZ1 expression and/or distributions and in markers for EMT further suggesting a relationship among these three transcription factors in HCC and their correlation to driving EMT.

Adaptable to other proteins of interest, this approach provides valuable insights into neuroblastoma protein synthesis. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Chittavanich et al.1.

The study demonstrates the efficacy of BMSCs-EVs in delivering miR-766-3p to CRC cells, leading to the suppression of the MYC/CDK2 signaling pathway and hindering cancer progression.

Furthermore, we highlight Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs for AML, and the results of preclinical and clinical studies on novel agents that have been or are currently being tested for efficacy and tolerability in AML therapy. Overall, this review summarizes our current knowledge of the molecular processes that promote leukemogenesis, as well as the various agents that intervene in specific pathways and directly or indirectly modulate c-MYC to disrupt AML pathogenesis and drug resistance.

Mechanistic studies and molecular modeling suggest that SG binds to the c-MYC G4/NM23-H2 interface, acting as an orthosteric stabilizer of the DNA-protein complex and preventing c-MYC transcription. Our findings identify SG as a potent c-MYC transcription inhibitor and provide a novel strategy for developing G4-targeting anticancer therapeutics through modulation of G4-protein interactions.

LRRC45 could promote the proliferative, migrative, and invasive capacities of lung cancer cells by increasing c-MYC, Slug, MMP2, and MMP9 expression, indicating the therapeutic implications and potential significance of these pathways in lung cancer.

Molecular docking revealed a favorable binding interaction between UMB and the ATP-binding site of CDK6, with a JAMDA score of -2.131, surpassing the control selonsertib.

In response to BKM120, the upstream region of MYC (UR) enhances MYC expression, via FOXO3a, leading to increased autophagic flux and resistance to PI3K inhibitors (left). Pharmacological blockade of autophagy (center) or lack of translocated MYC UR along with MYC CDS in BL (right) overcome resistance and induces cells death. Image created in BioRender.

Our findings demonstrate that c-Myc alone is enough to reprogram fibroblasts into functional macrophages, supporting that c-Myc reprogramming strategy of fibroblasts can help circumvent long-standing obstacles to gaining "off-the-shelf" macrophages for anti-cancer immunotherapy.

Genetic loss of Ascl1 in this model did not decrease tumor incidence, growth, or metastasis; however, there was a notable decrease in neuroendocrine identity and an increase in basal-like identity. This study provides an in vivo model to study progression to NEPC and establishes the requirement for ASCL1 in driving neuroendocrine differentiation in prostate cancer.

Inhibition of SRPK1 with either of the compounds promotes transcription elongation, and transcriptionally activates the unfolded protein response. In brief, here we discover that CDK12 inactivation promotes MYC signaling in an SRPK1-dependent manner, and show that the clinical grade compound Endovion selectively targets the cells with CDK12 inactivation.

At larger distances from the gene, the CCAT1 transcripts appeared spliced, implying that most CCAT1 transcripts undergo post-transcriptional splicing in the zone of the active gene. Finally, we show that unspliced CCAT1 transcripts can be detected in the cytoplasm during splicing inhibition, which suggests that there are several CCAT1 variants, spliced and unspliced, that the cell can recognize as suitable for export.

Furthermore, Isoimperatorin suppressed the overexpression of c-Myc by the proteasome inhibitor MG132 and also disturbed cycloheximide-treated c-Myc stability in Huh7 cells. Overall, these findings support the novel evidence that the pivotal role of c-Myc and SIRT1 is critically involved in Isoimperatorin-induced apoptosis in HCCs as potent molecular targets in liver cancer therapy.

The clinical translation of this method necessitates further investigation and validation. In summary, the Ro-3306-loaded magnetic-driven hydrogel micro-robots present a novel strategy for enhancing the chemosensitivity of MYC-dependent osteosarcoma, paving the way for new possibilities in future clinical applications.

Overall, we identify a small group of genes highly enriched within functional gene categories related to mitotic processes that are commonly regulated by N-MYC, WDR5, and PDPK1 and suggest that a tripartite interaction between the three regulators may be responsible for setting the level of mitotic gene regulation in N-MYC amplified cell lines. This study provides a foundation for future studies to determine the exact mechanism by which N-MYC, WDR5, and PDPK1 converge on cell cycle related processes.

Aurora kinase inhibitors such as alisertib can destabilize MYC-family oncoproteins and have demonstrated compelling anti-tumor efficacy. Furthermore, DBPR728 was found to synergize with the mTOR inhibitor everolimus to suppress c-MYC- or N-MYC- driven SCLC. Collectively, these results suggest DBPR728 has the potential to treat cancers overexpressing c-MYC- and/or N-MYC.

Moreover, this difference in survival is not driven by MYC-overexpression, suggesting a novel mechanism for some aggressive osteosarcomas. These findings add light to the evolving understanding of the drivers of osteosarcoma and may aid in the search for new treatments based on patient-specific genetic data.

Moreover, silencing SIRT5 suppressed tumor growth in mice. These findings suggested that SIRT5 promoted the malignant advancement of chordoma by regulating the desuccinylation of c-myc.

Furthermore, the clinical-grade CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib exhibited a potent anti-tumor effect in xenograft mouse models, especially when combined with gemcitabine.

The review extends beyond CDK2i to encompass novel emerging CDK4 inhibitors, combined CDK2/4/6 inhibitors, and the well-known pan-CDK inhibitors including those specifically directed at CDK2. Delving into the results, we critically appraise the observed clinical efficacy and offer valuable insights into their potential impact and future applications.

This process is mediated by MYC-induced H3K9 demethylation and acetylation by GCN5, leading to enhancer-specific BRD4 recruitment through its bromodomains, which facilitates RNAPII recruitment. We propose that MYC drives prognostic cancer type-specific gene programs through induction of an enhancer-specific epigenetic switch, which can be targeted by BET and GCN5 inhibitors.

The oncogenic role of eIF4G1 in AML has not been reported before. Our results reveal a mechanism whereby N-MYC drives a leukemic transcriptional program and provides a rationale for the therapeutic targeting of the N-MYC/eIF4G1 axis in myeloid leukemia.

Moreover, the overexpression of miR-203a drastically arrested the cell cycle at subG1 and G1 phases, decreased the viability, proliferation, and migration, and increased apoptosis of BC cells. Therefore, miR-203a-3p may be considered a tumor suppressor factor and a potential biomarker or therapeutic target for BC.

Thus, C14MC is a tumor-suppressive and methylation-regulated miRNA cluster in CC. Reactivation of C14MC can be useful in the management of CC.

In total, 169 patients were treated with R-CHOP, 10 with R-CHOP and intermediate-dose methotrexate, 19 with R-DA-EPOCH, and 16 with other regimens. The 5-year OS for DHL patients was 32.4% (95% CI 16.6-48.2%) while all three TH patients were deceased or lost to follow-up. Our analyses of real-life data disclose that the R-CHOP protocol with CNS prophylaxis is a successful and curative treatment for a substantial proportion of DEL patients.

We also revealed that QKI overexpression suppresses cMYC expression at post-transcriptional level, and decreases proliferation and migration of HeLa cells, demonstrating that QKI is a tumour suppressor gene by in part augmenting let-7b activity. Our data show that QKI is a new type of RBP implicated in the versatile regulation of miRNA-mediated gene silencing.

The majority of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients respond to intensive induction therapy, consisting of cytarabine (AraC) and an anthracycline, though more than half experience relapse. In addition, panobinostat alone and in combination with VEN + AZA suppressed oxidative phosphorylation and/or glycolysis in AraC-resistant AML cells. These findings support further development of panobinostat in combination with VEN + AZA for the treatment of AraC-resistant AML.

Importantly, blockage of MYBL2-RAN pathway sensitizes CSCs to cisplatin treatment and synergistically enhanced the cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity. Both MYBL2 and RAN are highly expressed in clinical osteosarcoma tissues which indicate poor prognosis. Collectively, our study provides advanced insights into the regeneration process of heterogeneous tumor originating from CSCs and highlight the MYBL2-RAN pathway as a promising target for CSC-based therapy in osteosarcoma.

Herein, we engineered 5-Aza (a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor) and ITF-2357 (a histone deacetylase inhibitor) into a tungsten-based nano-radiosensitizer (PWAI), to suppress MYC rising and awaken robust radiotherapeutic antitumor immunity...Unlike the radiation treatment alone, PWAI-triggered immuno-radiotherapy remarkably enhances anti-tumor immune responses involving the tumor antigen presentation by dendritic cells, and improves intratumoral recruitment of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and their memory-phenotype formation in 4T1 tumor-bearing mice. Downgrading the radiotherapy-induced MYC overexpression via the dual-epigenetic reprogramming strategy may elicit a robust immuno-radiotherapy.
