MYC Family Amplification Dictates Sensitivity to BET Bromodomain Protein Inhibitor Mivebresib (ABBV075) in Small-Cell Lung Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for nearly 15% of all lung cancers. Although patients respond to first-line therapy readily, rapid relapse is inevitable, with few treatment options in the second-line setting. Here, we describe SCLC cell lines harboring amplification of MYC and MYCN but not MYCL1 or non-amplified MYC cell lines exhibit superior sensitivity to treatment with the pan-BET bromodomain protein inhibitor mivebresib (ABBV075). Silencing MYC and MYCN partially rescued SCLC cell lines harboring these respective amplifications from the antiproliferative effects of mivebresib. Further characterization of genome-wide binding of MYC, MYCN, and MYCL1 uncovered unique enhancer and epigenetic preferences. Implications: Our study suggests that chromatin landscapes can establish cell
