C-MYC aberrations as prognostic factors in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: a meta-analysis of epidemiological studies.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
ObjectivesVarious studies have investigated the prognostic value of C-MYC aberrations in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, the role of C-MYC as an independent prognostic factor in clinical practice remains controversial. A systematic review

c-Myc oncoprotein function

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Reviews on Cancer, 1991
Genetic alterations of the c-myc locus in various malignancies and the ability of c-myc to transform cultured cells and induce tumors in transgenic animals attest to its central role in many neoplasms. By dissecting the c-Myc protein, a number of critical functional domains of c-Myc have been identified and characterized; these findings suggest a model

Nucleophosmin is essential for c-Myc nucleolar localization and c-Myc-mediated rDNA transcription [PDF]

open access: yesOncogene, 2012
The transcription factor c-Myc has a critical role in cell proliferation and growth. The control of ribosome biogenesis by c-Myc through the regulation of transcription mediated by all three RNA polymerases is essential for c-Myc-driven proliferation. Specifically, in the nucleolus, c-Myc has been shown to be recruited to ribosomal DNA and activate RNA

Inhibition of cyclin‐dependent kinases 12/13 using CT7439 as a treatment for colorectal cancer with CDK12 upregulation

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The proposed mechanism of action for the CDK12/13 inhibitor and cyclin K degrader, CT7439. CDK12/13 inhibition interrupts transcription elongation, leading to increased DNA damage that results in cell death. This agent is a potentially novel treatment option for patients with colorectal cancer. Created in BioRender. Cyclin‐dependent kinase (CDK) 12 and

LINC01963 promotes pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma proliferation via METTL3/IGF2BP2 axis-mediated m⁶A modification of c-Myc

open access: yesJournal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research
Background C-Myc overexpression is an important molecular hallmark of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), but directly targeting c-Myc is extremely challenging.

Domain-specific c-Myc ubiquitylation controls c-Myc transcriptional and apoptotic activity [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012
The oncogenic transcription factor c-Myc causes transformation and tumorigenesis, but it can also induce apoptotic cell death. Although tumor suppressors are necessary for c-Myc to induce apoptosis, the pathways and mechanisms are unclear.

Targeting transcription factors associated with hemoglobinopathies: Lessons from successful interventions and implications for cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the transcription factors, repressive chromatin‐modifying complexes, and epigenetic mechanisms that control fetal hemoglobin repression. Notably, many regulators of γ‐globin silencing also function in transcriptional and epigenetic networks that drive cancer, highlighting opportunities to translate advances in hemoglobinopathy ...

Glutathione Depletion Induced by c-Myc Downregulation Triggers Apoptosis on Treatment with Alkylating Agents

open access: yesNeoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2004
Here we investigate the mechanism(s) involved in the c-Myc-dependent drug response of melanoma cells. By using three M14-derived c-Myc low-expressing clones, we demonstrate that alkylating agents, cisplatin and melphalan, trigger apoptosis in the c-Myc ...

Nucleophosmin interacts directly with c-Myc and controls c-Myc-induced hyperproliferation and transformation [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008
The transcription factor c-Myc is essential for cellular proliferation and is one of the most frequently activated oncogenes, but the molecular mechanism mediating its critical role in transformation is unclear. Like c-Myc, multifunctional nucleophosmin (NPM) is tightly regulated during proliferation and is overexpressed in several different types of ...

Pharmacological chromatin remodeling enhances response to estrogen therapy in ER+ breast cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Estrogen therapy elicits clinical benefit in ~ 30% of patients with endocrine‐resistant estrogen receptor (ER)‐positive breast cancer. Based on findings that ER transcriptional activation underlies response to estrogen therapy, we tested the effects of epigenetic dysregulation via pharmacological inhibition of histone deacetylases (HDACi).
