MYC-repressed long noncoding RNAs antagonize MYC-induced cell proliferation and cell cycle progression

چکیده
The transcription factor MYC is a proto-oncogene regulating cell proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis and metabolism. The recent identification of MYC-regulated long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) expands our knowledge of the role of lncRNAs in MYC functions. Here, we identify MYC-repressed lncRNAs named MYCLo-4, -5 and -6 by comparing 3 categories of lncRNAs (downregulated in highly MYC-expressing colorectal cancer, up-regulated by MYC knockdown in HCT116, upregulated by MYC knockdown in RKO). The MYC-repressed MYCLos are implicated in MYC-modulated cell proliferation through cell cycle regulation. By screening cell cycle-related genes regulated by MYC and the MYC-repressed MYCLos, we identified the MYC-repressed gene GADD45A as a target gene of the MYC-repressed MYCLos such as MYCLo-4 and MYCLo-6.

N-myc and noncoding RNAs in neuroblastoma.
Neuroblastoma is a pediatric tumor of the sympathetic nervous system. Amplification and overexpression of the MYCN proto-oncogene occurs in approximately 20% of neuroblastomas and is associated with advanced stage disease, rapid tumor progression, and poor prognosis. MYCN encodes the transcriptional regulator N-myc, which has been shown to both up- and downregulate many target genes involved in...
متن کاملMINCR is a MYC-induced lncRNA able to modulate MYC's transcriptional network in Burkitt lymphoma cells.
Despite the established role of the transcription factor MYC in cancer, little is known about the impact of a new class of transcriptional regulators, the long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), on MYC ability to influence the cellular transcriptome. Here, we have intersected RNA-sequencing data from two MYC-inducible cell lines and a cohort of 91 B-cell lymphomas with or without genetic variants result...
متن کاملA role for transcriptional repression of p21CIP1 by c-Myc in overcoming transforming growth factor beta -induced cell-cycle arrest.
c-Myc plays a vital role in cell-cycle progression. Deregulated expression of c-Myc can overcome cell-cycle arrest in order to promote cellular proliferation. Transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) treatment of immortalized human keratinocyte cells inhibits cell-cycle progression and is characterized by down-regulation of c-Myc followed by up-regulation of p21(CIP1). A direct role of c-Myc i...
متن کاملDirect induction of cyclin D2 by Myc contributes to cell cycle progression and sequestration of p27.
Ectopic expression of Myc induces Cdk2 kinase activity in quiescent cells and antagonizes association of p27(kip1) with Cdk2. The target gene(s) by which Myc mediates this effect is largely unknown. We now show that p27 is rapidly and transiently sequestered by cyclin D2-Cdk4 complexes upon activation of Myc and that cyclin D2 is a direct target gene of Myc. The cyclin D2 promoter is repressed ...
متن کاملLong noncoding RNA ANRIL could be transactivated by c-Myc and promote tumor progression of non-small-cell lung cancer
In recent years, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated to play important roles in the development of human cancer. We assessed the role of lncRNA ANRIL in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was employed to detect the expression of ANRIL in NSCLC tissues and paired nontumor tissues. The high expression level of ANRIL was positively...
