Targeting c-MYC by antagonizing PP2A inhibitors in breast cancer

ABSTRACT: Inhibition of SET by siRNA or SET antagonist and CIP2A by siRNA can downregulate c-MYC and c-MYC target genes. Cells were treated with a SET antagonist (1μMOP449) for 12 hours, or siRNA for 48 hours.

The transcription factor c-MYC is stabilized and activated by phosphorylation at serine 62 (S62) in breast cancer. Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a critical negative regulator of c-MYC through its ability to dephosphorylate S62. By inactivating c-MYC and other key signaling pathways, PP2A plays an important tumor suppressor function. Two endogenous inhibitors of PP2A, I2PP2A, Inhibitor-2 of PP2A (SET oncoprotein) and cancerous inhibitor of PP2A (CIP2A), inactivate PP2A and are overexpressed in ...[more]

Project description:Background: MYC is a transcription factor encoded by the c-MYC gene (thereafter termed MYC). MYC is key transcription factor involved in many central cellular processes including ribosomal biogenesis. MYC is overexpressed in the majority of human tumours including aggressive B-cell lymphoma especially Burkitt's lymphoma. Although Burkitt's lymphoma is a highlight example for MYC overexpression due to a chromosomal translocation, no global analysis of MYC binding sites by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) followed by global next generation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) has been conducted so far in Burkitt's lymphoma. Methodology/Principal Findings: ChIP-Seq was performed with a MYC-specific antibody giving rise to 7,054 predicted MYC binding sites after bioinformatics analysis of a total of 19 million sequence reads. In line with previous findings, binding sites accumulate in gene sets known to be involved in the ribosomal biogenesis, histone acetyltransferase and methyltransferase complexes and the cell cycle demonstrating a regulatory role of MYC in these processes. Unexpectedly, MYC binding sites also accumulate in genes typically expressed in mature B-cells. To assess the functional consequences of altered MYC binding, the ChIP-Seq data were supplemented with siRNA mediated knock-downs of MYC in BL cell lines followed by gene expression profiling. Interestingly, amongst others, genes involved in B-cell function were up-regulated in response to MYC silencing. Conclusion/Significance: The 7,054 MYC-binding sites identified by our ChIP-Seq approach greatly extend the knowledge regarding MYC binding in Burkitt's lymphoma and sheds further light on the enormous complexity of the MYC regulatory network. Especially our observation that (i) many B-cell relevant genes are targeted by MYC and (ii) that MYC down-regulation leads to an up-regulation of B-cell genes highlights an interesting aspect of BurkittM-BM-4s lymphoma biology. [ChIP-Seq] Analysis of MYC DNA binding sites by ChiP-Seq in 5 BurkittM-BM-4s lymphoma cell lines (Raji, Ramos, Blue1, BL41, CA46) [mRNA expression profiling] siRNA-mediated knock-down of MYC was done employing the BL cell lines Raji, BL41 and Blue1 in order to detect MYC-driven gene expression changes. For this purpose, the cells were Amaxa-transfected using MYC smart pool siRNA and control siRNA (Thermo Scientific/Dharmacon, Erembodegem, Belgium), respectively.
