Drugging MYCN oncogenic signalling through the MYCN-PA2G4 binding interface [PDF]
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 ...

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

An ALYREF-MYCN coactivator complex drives neuroblastoma tumorigenesis through effects on USP3 and MYCN stability [PDF]
To achieve the very high oncoprotein levels required to drive the malignant state cancer cells utilise the ubiquitin proteasome system to upregulate transcription factor levels.

MYCN-targeting miRNAs are predominantly downregulated during MYCN-driven neuroblastoma tumor formation [PDF]
MYCN is a transcription factor that plays key roles in both normal development and cancer. In neuroblastoma, MYCN acts as a major oncogenic driver through pleiotropic effects controlled by multiple protein encoding genes as well as microRNAs (miRNAs ...

MYCN and Metabolic Reprogramming in Neuroblastoma
Simple Summary Metabolic reprogramming has a central role in the initiation and progression of cancer, including high-risk neuroblastoma, a deadly childhood malignant tumor of the sympathetic nervous system. This rewiring of cellular metabolism increases

MYCN upregulates the transsulfuration pathway to suppress the ferroptotic vulnerability in MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma [PDF]
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent, oxidative form of cell death that is countered mainly by glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and the production of glutathione (GSH), which is formed from cysteine.

Background Neuroblastoma (NB) patients with amplified MYCN often face a grim prognosis and are resistant to existing therapies, yet MYCN protein is considered undruggable.

Targeting MYCN in Pediatric and Adult Cancers
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.

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.

A MYCN-driven de-differentiation profile identifies a subgroup of aggressive retinoblastoma
Retinoblastoma are childhood eye tumors arising from retinal precursor cells. Two distinct retinoblastoma subtypes with different clinical behavior have been described based on gene expression and methylation profiling.
