Targeting cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) but not CDK4/6 or CDK2 is selectively lethal to MYC-dependent human breast cancer cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background Although MYC is an attractive therapeutic target for breast cancer treatment, it has proven challenging to inhibit MYC directly, and clinically effective pharmaceutical agents targeting MYC are not yet available. An alternative approach is to

Myc represses the growth arrest gene gadd45 [PDF]

open access: yesOncogene, 1997
The c-Myc protein strongly stimulates cellular proliferation, inducing cells to exit G0/G1 and enter the cell cycle. At a molecular level, Myc prevents growth arrest and drives cell cycle progression through the transcriptional regulation of Myc-target genes.

Induction of LEF1 by MYC activates the WNT pathway and maintains cell proliferation

open access: yesCell Communication and Signaling, 2019
Background While regulated WNT activity is required for normal development and stem cell maintenance, mutations that lead to constitutive activation of the WNT pathway cause cellular transformation and drive colorectal cancer.

c-Myc regulates self-renewal in bronchoalveolar stem cells. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: Bronchoalveolar stem cells (BASCs) located in the bronchoalveolar duct junction are thought to regenerate both bronchiolar and alveolar epithelium during homeostatic turnover and in response to injury. The mechanisms directing self-renewal in

Selective Activation of Alternative MYC Core Promoters by Wnt-Responsive Enhancers. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In Metazoans, transcription of most genes is driven by the use of multiple alternative promoters. Although the precise regulation of alternative promoters is important for proper gene expression, the mechanisms that mediates their differential ...

Amplification units containing human N-myc and c-myc genes. [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1986
The amplification units in human tumors containing amplified myc genes were examined. The amplification unit in all cases consisted of a large genomic region coamplified with the coding region of the myc genes themselves. In eight independent neuroblastomas containing N-myc amplifications, the amplification unit was estimated to be 290 to 430 kilobases.

Myc and Miz-1 have coordinate genomic functions including targeting Hox genes in human embryonic stem cells

open access: yesEpigenetics & Chromatin, 2011
Background A proposed role for Myc in maintaining mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell pluripotency is transcriptional repression of key differentiation-promoting genes, but detail of the mechanism has remained an important open topic.

Pan-cancer Alterations of the MYC Oncogene and Its Proximal Network across the Cancer Genome Atlas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Although theMYConcogene has been implicated incancer, a systematic assessment of alterations ofMYC, related transcription factors, and co-regulatoryproteins, forming the proximal MYC network (PMN),across human cancers is lacking.

Replication Study: Transcriptional amplification in tumor cells with elevated c-Myc

open access: yeseLife, 2018
As part of the Reproducibility Project: Cancer Biology, we published a Registered Report (Blum et al., 2015), that described how we intended to replicate selected experiments from the paper ‘Transcriptional amplification in tumor cells with elevated c ...
