The PVT1-MYC duet in cancer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gain of 8q24, harboring the avian myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog (MYC), is a frequent mutation in cancers. Although MYC is the usual suspect in these cancers, the role of other co-gained loci remains mostly unknown. We have recently found that MYC partners with the adjacent long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1), which stabilizes MYC protein and potentiates its activity.

The PVT1 lncRNA has recently been involved in tumorigenesis by affecting the protein stability of the MYC proto-oncogene. Both MYC and PVT1 reside in a well-known cancer-risk locus and enhanced levels of their products have been reported in different human cancers. Nonetheless, the extension and relevance of the MYC-PVT1 deregulation in tumorigenesis has not yet been systematically addressed.He...
متن کاملThe identification of microRNAs in a genomically unstable region of human chromosome 8q24.
The PVT1 locus is identified as a cluster of T(2;8) and T(8;22) "variant" MYC-activating chromosomal translocation breakpoints extending 400 kb downstream of MYC in a subset (approximately 20%) of Burkitt's lymphoma (vBL). Recent reports that microRNAs (miRNA) may be associated with fragile sites and cancer-associated genomic regions prompted us to investigate whether the PVT1 region on chromos...

PURPOSE This study was designed to elucidate the role of amplification at 8q24 in the pathophysiology of ovarian and breast cancer because increased copy number at this locus is one of the most frequent genomic abnormalities in these cancers. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN To accomplish this, we assessed the association of amplification at 8q24 with outcome in ovarian cancers using fluorescence in situ ...
متن کاملFrequent PVT1 rearrangement and novel chimeric genes PVT1-NBEA and PVT1-WWOX occur in multiple myeloma with 8q24 abnormality.
Chromosome 8q24 rearrangements are occasionally found in multiple myeloma and are associated with tumor progression. The 8q24 rearrangements were detected by FISH in 12 of 54 patients with multiple myeloma (22.2%) and in 8 of 11 multiple myeloma cell lines (72.7%). The breakpoints of 8q24 in 10 patients with multiple myeloma and in all multiple myeloma cell lines were assigned to a 360 kb segme...
متن کاملA Functional Variant at a Prostate Cancer Predisposition Locus at 8q24 Is Associated with PVT1 Expression
Genetic mapping studies have identified multiple cancer susceptibility regions at chromosome 8q24, upstream of the MYC oncogene. MYC has been widely presumed as the regulated target gene, but definitive evidence functionally linking these cancer regions with MYC has been difficult to obtain. Here we examined candidate functional variants of a haplotype block at 8q24 encompassing the two indepen...
