Project description:We used microarrays to compare gene expression profiles between mouse mammary tumors initiated by Myc to those that have escaped Myc oncogene dependence. We collected tumor biopsies of Myc-initiated tumors and samples of tumors that persisted or recurred after Myc withdrawal. RNA was extracted from these tumors and hybridized to microarrays.

Project description:The oncogene MYC drives many cancers and is an outstanding therapeutic target. MYC is an intrinsically disordered protein, and therefore, targeting MYC remains a challenge. Here, we developed a proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) degrading MYC: MDEG-541. The inhibitor is based on the MYC-MAX dimerization inhibitor 10058-F4 and Thalidomide. Mode of action depends on the proteasome and cereblon. MDEG-541 shows single digit mM activity in most sensitive colon and pancreatic cancer cell lines as well as gastrointestinal tumor organoids.

Project description:To investigate the differences of transcriptional activities between AUG-initiated c-Myc and CUG-initiated c-Myc , we performed a transcriptomic analysis using high throoughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq).

Project description:The goal of this study is to investigate the role of deregulated c-MYC in cooperation with activated NeuNT (mutated rat HER2) in mammary tumor molecular heterogeneity. We monitored female mice through two cycles of pregnancy/lactation in order to activate Blg-Cre expression in mammary gland after the second cycle. MYC-NeuNT mice develop tumors between 4 and 12 weeks post Blg-Cre activation, H&E images from these tumors showed histologic heterogeneity. NeuNT mice developed tumors between 28 to 44 weeks post Blg-Cre activation that also showed histologic heterogeneity.

Project description:The MYC oncogene is a potent driver of growth and proliferation but also sensitises cells to apoptosis, which limits its oncogenic potential. MYC induces several biosynthetic programmes and primary cells overexpressing MYC are highly sensitive to glutamine withdrawal suggesting that MYC-induced sensitisation to apoptosis may be due to an imbalance of metabolic/energetic supply and demand. Here we show that MYC elevates global transcription and translation, even in the absence of glutamine, revealing metabolic demand without corresponding supply. Glutamine withdrawal from MRC-5 fibroblasts depleted key TCA cycle metabolites and, in combination with MYC activation, led to AMP accumulation and nucleotide catabolism indicative of energetic stress. Further analyses revealed that glutamine supports viability through TCA cycle energetics rather than asparagine biosynthesis and that TCA cycle inhibition confers tumour suppression on MYC- driven lymphoma in vivo. In summary, glutamine supports the viability of MYC- overexpressing cells through an energetic rather than a biosynthetic mechanism.

Project description:ATM gene mutation carriers are predisposed to estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer (BC). ATM prevents BC oncogenesis by activating p53 in every cell; however, much remains unknown about tissue-specific oncogenesis following ATM loss. Here, we report that ATM controls the early transcriptional response to estrogens. This response depends on topoisomerase II (TOP2), which generates TOP2-DNA double-strand break (DSB) complexes and rejoins the breaks. When TOP2-mediated ligation fails, ATM facilitates DSB repair. Following estrogen exposure, TOP2-dependent DSBs arise at the c-MYC enhancer in human BC cells, and their defective repair changes the activation profile of enhancers and induces the overexpression of many genes including the c-MYC oncogene. CRISPR/Cas9 cleavage at the enhancer also causes c-MYC overexpression, indicating that this DSB causes c-MYC overexpression. Estrogen treatment induced c-Myc protein overexpression in mammary epithelial cells of ATM-deficient mice. In conclusion, ATM suppresses the c-Myc-driven proliferative effects of estrogens, possibly explaining such tissue-specific oncogenesis.

Project description:Deubiquitylases (DUBs) remove ubiquitin from proteins. In the context of cancer, their inhibition can induce the degradation of oncoproteins, that may otherwise be “undruggable”. Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematological malignancy with poor outcome and high sensitivity towards ubiquitin-proteasome-system (UPS) inhibitory therapies. However, the role of DUBs in MM pathophysiology and therapy has remained elusive. Starting from genetic screening for DUB dependencies in MM, we here identify OTUD6B as a central vulnerability in MM that drives the G1/S cell cycle transition by means of deubiquitylating and stabilizing LIN28B subsequent to LIN28B phosphorylation. LIN28B regulates miRNA biogenesis and exerts high expression in embryonic stem cells that becomes re-established in certain tumors, including MM. Binding of LIN28B at G1/S activates OTUD6B, which otherwise remains in a catalytically inactive state. As a consequence, stabilized LIN28B drives MYC expression via inhibition of let7 microRNAs, which in turn allows for a rapid transition of MM cells from G1 to S phase. Analyses of primary MM patient samples reveal a positive correlation of OTUDB6B expression with poor outcome, high MYC expression and MYC target gene induction, suggesting that high MYC levels in MM result from an activation of the OTUD6B-LIN28B nexus. Together, we here specify phosphorylation and cell cycle-dependent substrate binding as a means by which OTUD6B becomes activated to drive the G1/S transition via the LIN28B-MYC axis and nominate OTUD6B and LIN28B as actionable vulnerabilities in MM.

Project description:In several developmental lineages, an increase in expression of the MYC proto-oncogene drives the transition from quiescent stem cells to transit amplifying cells. The mechanism by which MYC restricts self-renewal of adult stem cells is unknown. Here, we show that MYC activates a stereotypic transcriptional program of genes involved in protein translation and mitochondrial biogenesis in mammary epithelial cells and indirectly inhibits the YAP/TAZ co-activators that are essential for mammary stem cell self-renewal. We identify a phospholipase of the mitochondrial outer membrane, PLD6, as the mediator of MYC activity. PLD6 mediates a change in the mitochondrial fusion/fission balance that promotes nuclear export of YAP/TAZ in a LATS- and RHO-independent manner. Mouse models and human pathological data confirm that MYC suppresses YAP/TAZ activity in mammary tumors. PLD6 is also required for glutaminolysis, arguing that MYC-dependent changes in mitochondrial dynamics balance cellular energy metabolism with the self-renewal potential of adult stem cells. ChIP-Seq experiments for MYC-HA (HA-IP) performed in IMEC primary breast epithelial cells. Input-samples were sequenced as controlls.

Project description:We compared gene microarray data of mammary carcinomas arising in mice transgenic for the myelocytomatosis oncogene (c-Myc). These neoplasms belonged to three groups: (1) the first group was composed of neoplasms that were exclusively comprised of neoplastic cells with an epithelial phenotype (n=5); (2) the second group was composed of neoplasm that were almost entirely composed of cells with an epithelial phenotype and that also contain minute areas of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (n=5); the third group was composed of neoplasms that contained areas of epithelial to mesenchymal transition that accounted for >10% of these neoplasms (n=5). A neoplasm composed exclusively of cells with an epithelial phenotype was subsequently excluded from the first group based on gene array data that indicated a salivary origin for this neoplasm.
