Drugging MYCN Oncogenic Signaling through the MYCN-PA2G4 Binding Interface [PDF]
Abstract MYCN is a major driver for the childhood cancer, neuroblastoma, however, there are no inhibitors of this target. Enhanced MYCN protein stability is a key component of MYCN oncogenesis and is maintained by multiple feedforward expression loops involving MYCN transactivation target ...

Neuroblastoma, the most common extracranial solid tumor of childhood, is thought to originate from undifferentiated neural crest cells. Amplification of the MYC family member, MYCN, is found in ∼25% of cases and correlates with high-risk disease and poor prognosis.

Functional MYCN signature predicts outcome of neuroblastoma irrespective of MYCN amplification [PDF]
Neuroblastoma is a pediatric tumor of the sympathetic nervous system. MYCN (V-myc myelocytomatosis viral-related oncogene, neuroblastoma derived [avian]) is amplified in 20% of neuroblastomas, and these tumors carry a poor prognosis. However, tumors without MYCN

MYCN acts as a direct co-regulator of p53 in MYCN amplified neuroblastoma
The MYC oncogenes and p53 have opposing yet interrelated roles in normal development and tumorigenesis. How MYCN expression alters the biology and clinical responsiveness of pediatric neuroblastoma remains poorly defined. Neuroblastoma is p53 wild type at diagnosis and repression of p53 signaling is required for tumorigenesis.

Inhibition of mTOR-kinase destabilizes MYCN and is a potential therapy for MYCN-dependent tumors [PDF]
MYC oncoproteins deliver a potent oncogenic stimulus in several human cancers, making them major targets for drug development, but efforts to deliver clinically practical therapeutics have not yet been realized. In childhood cancer, aberrant expression of MYC and MYCN genes delineates a group of aggressive tumours responsible for a major proportion of ...

The MYCN oncogene is amplified in 20% of neuroblastomas, leading to its overexpression at both the mRNA and protein levels. MYCN overexpression is strongly associated with advanced disease stage, rapid tumor progression and a worse prognosis.

Targeting MYCN in Pediatric and Adult Cancers [PDF]
The deregulation of the MYC family of oncogenes, including c-MYC, MYCN and MYCL occurs in many types of cancers, and is frequently associated with a poor prognosis.

Heterogeneity of the MYCN Oncogene in Neuroblastoma [PDF]
Abstract Purpose: MYCN amplification is an important therapy-stratifying marker in neuroblastoma. Fluorescence in situ hybridization with signal detection on the single-cell level allows a critical judgement of MYCN intratumoral heterogeneity.

PURPOSE: The clinical significance of MYCN expression in children with neuroblastoma (NB) remains controversial. To determine the prognostic significance of MYCN expression in the absence of MYCN amplification, we analyzed MYCN mRNA and protein expression in tumors from 69 patients.
