Sentenece the gene occurs

27362652Targets of miR-34 miRNAs, including E2F1, c-Myc, and cyclin E2, were lower in IPF type II AECs
27349249To explore the role of HPV oncoproteins on OSM expression, the expression of HPV16E6 in the HCK1T Tet-On condition was induced by doxycycline and HPV16E6 was found to significantly upregulate levels of OSM mRNA and protein, with concomitant upregulation of c-Myc
27297181Notably, Tert expression increased colony formation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells after the introduction of four reprogramming factors, Oct-4, klf4, SOX-2, and c-Myc into the transgenic fibroblasts
27294914In addition, ginsenoside Rg1 decreased beta-catenin and c-Myc mRNA expression and enhanced the phosphorylation of GSK-3beta
26798365However, the expression of senescence-related gene, p21, and oncogene, c-Myc, was significantly upregulated in the late phase, which had close relations with the obviously increased cell senescence
26571381GSE4 expression also activated c-myc and TERT promoters and increase of c-myc, TERT and TERC expression
26571381Mutation of the Aspartic Acid residue that is conserved in the pseudouridine synthase domain present in GSE4 did not impair its activity, except for the repression of c-myc promoter activity and the decrease of c-myc, TERT and TERC gene expression in dyskerin-mutated cells
26529363Suppression of RAD21 Induces Senescence of MDA-MB-231 Human Breast Cancer Cells Through RB1 Pathway Activation Via c-Myc Downregulation
26529363Further biochemical analyses revealed that RAD21 knockdown led to the downregulation of c-Myc and its targets, including CDK4, a negative regulator of RB1, and blockedRB1 phosphorylation (pRB1), and the RB1-mediated transcriptional repression of E2F
26529363Moreover, c-Myc downregulation was partially mediated by proteasome-dependent degradation within promyelocytic leukemia (PML) nuclear bodies, which were found to be highly abundant during RAD21 knockdown-induced senescence
26529363Exogenous c-Myc reconstitution rescued cells from RAD21 silencing-induced senescence
26529363Altogether, data arising from this study implicate a novel function of RAD21 in cellular senescence in MDA-MB-231 cells that is mainly dependent onRB1 pathway activation via c-Myc downregulation
26477312In addition to the activation of oncogenes c-MYC and STAT3 in tumor cells, a number of cytokines and growth factors, such as IL1beta, IL6 and SPP1 (osteopontin, a key biomarker for PCa), were upregulated in NFATc1-induced PCa, establishing a tumorigenic microenvironment involving both NFATc1 positive and negative cells for prostate tumorigenesis
26412380We have found evidence suggesting that ARF and p53 are essential for tumor regression upon MYC inactivation through distinct mechanisms ARF through p53-independent affect, is required to for MYC to regulate the expression of genes that are required for both the induction of cellular senescence as well as recruitment of innate immune activation
26412380We have found evidence suggesting that ARF and p53 are essential for tumor regression upon MYC inactivation through distinct mechanisms ARF through p53-independent affect, is required to for MYC to regulate the expression of genes that are required for both the induction of cellular senescence as well as recruitment of innate immune activation
26236688MOE(HIGH) had enhanced protein expression of c-myc, Cyclin E, p53, and FOXM1 with reduced expression of p21
26096152Somatic cells can be reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) by the forced expression of the transcription factors OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and c-MYC
25988535It was found that these ruthenium(II) complexes exhibited considerable in vitro anticancer activities and that they were the effective stabilizers of telomeric and G-quadruplex-DNA (G4-DNA) in promoter of c-myc, which acted as a telomerase inhibitor targeting G4-DNA and induced cell senescence and apoptosis
25937285These phenotypes were mediated by a coordinated suppression of p53 and upregulation of c-MYC downstream of ATM inactivation
25873431Acidified bile acids increase hTERT expression via c-myc activation in human gastric cancer cells
25873431We report here that bile acids under acidified media increase hTERT expression via c-myc activation in primary human gastric cancer cell lines
25873431Human gastric cancer MKN28, MGC803 and SGC7901 cells were treated with 100 microM deoxycholic acid (DCA) or chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) with or without acidified media in the presence or absence of the c-myc inhibitor 10058-F4 for 24 h
25873431Similarly, the mRNA and protein levels of c-myc were also increased by bile acids in acidified media but not at a pH of 7
25873431Importantly, pharmacologic inhibition of c-myc using 10058-F4 prevented hTERT induction by DCA or CDCA in gastric cancer cells under acidic conditions
25873431Bile acids (DCA and CDCA) under acidic conditions increased hTERT expression in human gastric cancer cells by activation of c-myc transcription
25784651Addiction to MYC is a consequence of both cell-autonomous mechanisms, such as proliferative arrest, cellular senescence, and apoptosis, as well as non-cell autonomous mechanisms, such as shutdown of angiogenesis, and recruitment of immune effectors
25784651Here, we show, using transgenic mouse models of MYC-induced T-ALL, that the loss of either p19ARF or p53 abrogates the ability of MYC inactivation to induce sustained tumor regression
25784651Loss of p53 or p19ARF, influenced the ability of MYC inactivation to elicit the shutdown of angiogenesis; however the loss of p19ARF, but not p53, impeded cellular senescence, as measured by SA-beta-galactosidase staining, increased expression of p16INK4A, and specific histone modifications
25784651Moreover, comparative gene expression analysis suggested that a multitude of genes involved in the innate immune response were expressed in p19ARF wild-type, but not null, tumors upon MYC inactivation
25749381CSIG promotes hepatocellular carcinoma proliferation by activating c-MYC expression
25749381Finally, CSIG protein directly interacted with c-MYC protein and increased c-MYC protein levels; the ubiquitination and degradation of c-MYC protein was increased with knockdown of CSIG
25749381CSIG could also increase the expression of c-MYC protein in SMMC7721 cells in vivo, and it was noted that the level of c-MYC protein was also elevated in most human cancerous tissues with high level of CSIG
25686834We discovered that miR-34a potently targeted c-Myc and FoxM1, both of which were involved in the activation of telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) transcription, essential for the sustaining activity of telomerase to avoid senescence
25593054Mechanistically, NS induction correlates with Pim-1 kinase-mediated stabilization of c-Myc
25540416EBNA2 and EBNALP associate with EBV and cell enhancers, up-regulate the EBNA promoter, MYC, and EBV Latent infection Membrane Proteins (LMPs), which up-regulate BCL2 to protect EBV-infected B-cells from MYC proliferation-induced cell death
25540416EBNA3A was at MYC, CDKN2A/B, CCND2, CXCL9/10, and BCL2, together with RUNX3, BATF, IRF4, and SPI1
25515777The acquisition of pluripotent cells can be achieved by combined overexpression of transcription factors Oct4, Klf4, Sox2 and c-Myc in somatic cells
25435281Here, we addressed the above-mentioned open questions by multifaceted comparative analyses of human cellular models with inducible expression of c-Myc and H-RasV12 (Ras), two commonly deregulated oncoproteins operating in a functionally connected signaling network
25089198In particular, CD4(+) helper T cells were shown to be essential to the mechanism by which MYC or BCR-ABL inactivation elicits "oncogene withdrawal
25078983The protein levels of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), UCP2, Akt, phosphor (p)-Akt, c-myc, and p53 were assessed by immunoblot
25078983LY294002 pre-treatment significantly alleviated Ang II-induced HUVEC senescence, and partly reversed the elevation of TERT, UCP2, p-Akt, c-myc and p53 protein levels
25077541We demonstrate that miR-17 targets both ADCY5 and IRS1, upregulating the downstream signals MKP7, FoxO3, LC3B, and HIF1alpha, and downregulating mTOR, c-myc, cyclin D1, and JNK
25000517FOXO3a potentiates hTERT gene expression by activating c-MYC and extends the replicative life-span of human fibroblast
25000517In addition, we found that FOXO3a binds to the novel binding element in the c-MYC promoter, and this interaction activates the transcription of the c-MYC gene
25000517The resulting increase in c-MYC leads to higher levels of c-MYC recruited to the hTERT promoter and, in turn, activates hTERT gene expression
249703855-aza-2'-deoxycytidine-mediated c-myc Down-regulation triggers telomere-dependent senescence by regulating human telomerase reverse transcriptase in chronic myeloid leukemia
24970385Altogether, our results reveal the role of c-myc in telomere-dependent DAC-induced senescence and therefore provide new clues for improving chronic human leukemia treatments
24934810MYC synergizes with activated BRAFV600E in mouse lung tumor development by suppressing senescence
24934810MYC is a key factor in suppression of RAS/BRAF(V600E)-induced senescence in vitro
24934810However, it is still unclear whether MYC has the same role during tumor development in vivo
24934810Using a conditional, compound knock-in model of Cre-activated BRAF(V600E) and tamoxifen-regulatable MycER, we show that tamoxifen-induced activation of MYC accelerated the onset and increased the number and size of BRAF(V600E)-driven adenomas in a dose-dependent manner, resulting in reduced survival
24934810Furthermore, MYC activation leads to reduced expression of the senescence markers p16(INK4A), p21(CIP1), and H3K9me3-containing heterochromatin foci, and an increased percentage of Ki67(+) tumor cells
24934810This suggests that MYC already early during tumor formation suppresses a BRAF(V600E)-induced senescence-like state
24934810Initial activation of MYC followed by tamoxifen withdrawal still resulted in an increased number of tumors and reduced survival
24934810However, these tumors were of smaller size, showed increased expression of p16(INK4A) and p21(CIP1), and reduced number of Ki67(+) cells, indicating that MYC inactivation restores BRAF(V600E)-induced senescence
24934810This suggests that senescence suppression by MYC is a discrete step in tumor development important for sustained tumor growth but preceding malignant transformation and that additional oncogenic events are required for carcinoma development and metastasis
24890832MYC activation is a hallmark of cancer initiation and maintenance
24890832The MYC proto-oncogene has been implicated in the pathogenesis of most types of human tumors
24890832MYC activation alone in many normal cells is restrained from causing tumorigenesis through multiple genetic and epigenetically controlled checkpoint mechanisms, including proliferative arrest, apoptosis, and cellular senescence
24890832When pathologically activated in a permissive epigenetic and/or genetic context, MYC bypasses these mechanisms, enforcing many of the "hallmark" features of cancer, including relentless tumor growth associated with DNA replication and transcription, cellular proliferation and growth, protein synthesis, and altered cellular metabolism
24890832MYC mandates tumor cell fate, by inducing stemness and blocking cellular senescence and differentiation
24890832Additionally, MYC orchestrates changes in the tumor microenvironment, including the activation of angiogenesis and suppression of the host immune response
24890832Provocatively, brief or even partial suppression of MYC back to its physiological levels of activation can result in the restoration of intrinsic checkpoint mechanisms, resulting in acute and sustained tumor regression, associated with tumor cells undergoing proliferative arrest, differentiation, senescence, and apoptosis, as well as remodeling of the tumor microenvironment, recruitment of an immune response, and shutdown of angiogenesis
24890832Hence, tumors appear to be "addicted" to MYC because of both tumor cell-intrinsic, cell-autonomous and host-dependent, immune cell-dependent mechanisms
24890832Both the trajectory and persistence of many human cancers require sustained MYC activation
24890832Multiscale mathematical modeling may be useful to predict when tumors will be addicted to MYC
24890832MYC is a hallmark molecular feature of both the initiation and maintenance of tumorigenesis
24853424Consistent with this observation, WIF1 caused a reduction in the expression of pluripotency and stemness markers (OCT4 and c-MYC), as well as adult stem cell self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation markers, such as WNT3A, TCF4, c-KIT and MYB
24729935Studies have identified alterations in the level or activity of factors such as SIRT1, PGC-1alpha, HIF-1alpha and c-MYC involved in key regulatory processes in the maintenance of mitochondrial structural integrity, biogenesis and function
24645771Inactivation of MYC reverses tumorigenesis
24645771The MYC proto-oncogene is an essential regulator of many normal biological programmes
24645771MYC, when activated as an oncogene, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of most types of human cancers
24645771MYC overexpression in normal cells is restrained from causing cancer through multiple genetically and epigenetically controlled checkpoint mechanisms, including proliferative arrest, apoptosis and cellular senescence
24645771When pathologically activated in the correct epigenetic and genetic contexts, MYC bypasses these mechanisms and drives many of the 'hallmark' features of cancer, including uncontrolled tumour growth associated with DNA replication and transcription, cellular proliferation and growth, protein synthesis and altered cellular metabolism
24645771MYC also dictates tumour cell fate by enforcing self-renewal and by abrogating cellular senescence and differentiation programmes
24645771Moreover, MYC influences the tumour microenvironment, including activating angiogenesis and suppressing the host immune response
24645771Provocatively, brief or even partial suppression of MYC back to its physiological levels of activation can lead to the restoration of intrinsic checkpoint mechanisms, resulting in acute and sustained tumour regression associated with tumour cells undergoing proliferative arrest, differentiation, senescence and apoptosis, as well as remodelling of the tumour microenvironment, recruitment of an immune response and shutdown of angiogenesis
24645771Hence, tumours appear to be addicted to the MYC oncogene because of both tumour cell intrinsic and host-dependent mechanisms
24645771MYC is important for the regulation of both the initiation and maintenance of tumorigenesis
24589226Sensitization to TRAIL coincided with and depended on MYC upregulation and massive changes in gene regulation
24589226Senescent cell-induced MYC silenced its target gene CFLAR, encoding the apoptosis inhibitor FLIPL , thus leading to the acquisition of TRAIL sensitivity
24589226Altogether, our results reveal that senescent cell-secreted factors exert a TRAIL-sensitizing effect on pretransformed cells by modulating the expression of MYC and CFLAR
24272483Mechanistically, depletion or pharmacologic inhibition of CypB caused hyperactivation of the oncogenic RAS-mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, induction of cellular senescence signals, and death resulting from loss of MYC, mutant p53, Chk1, and Janus-activated kinase/STAT3 signaling
24006061Studies in primary and tumor cells suggest that MYC plays an important role in regulating cellular senescence, thereby impacting on tumor development
24006061Measurement of senescence is an important aspect of studies of MYC biology and will improve our understanding of MYC function and regulation both in preclinical and clinical settings
24006061Measurement of senescence is an important aspect of studies of MYC biology and will improve our understanding of MYC function and regulation both in preclinical and clinical settings
24006061This may form the basis for new concepts of pro-senescence therapy to combat MYC in cancer
23804320Nuclear translocation enhanced FOXM1 transcriptional activity and promoted its downstream target gene c-Myc expression that could inhibit p21 expression
23792448Treatment of PEL cell lines with BET inhibitors suppressed the expression of MYC and resulted in a genome-wide perturbation of MYC-dependent genes
23792448Silencing of BRD4 and MYC expression blocked cell proliferation and cell-cycle progression, while ectopic expression of MYC from a retroviral promoter rescued cells from (+)-JQ1-induced growth arrest
23792448Silencing of BRD4 and MYC expression blocked cell proliferation and cell-cycle progression, while ectopic expression of MYC from a retroviral promoter rescued cells from (+)-JQ1-induced growth arrest
23792448Taken collectively, our results demonstrate that the utility of BET inhibitors may not be limited to cancers in which genomic alterations result in extremely high expression of MYC and they may have equal or perhaps greater activity against cancers in which the MYC genomic locus is structurally intact and c-Myc protein is deregulated at the post-translational level and is only modestly overexpressed
23792448Taken collectively, our results demonstrate that the utility of BET inhibitors may not be limited to cancers in which genomic alterations result in extremely high expression of MYC and they may have equal or perhaps greater activity against cancers in which the MYC genomic locus is structurally intact and c-Myc protein is deregulated at the post-translational level and is only modestly overexpressed
23503666Compared to the controls, telomerase activity, the expression of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) and c-Myc in the irradiated HUVECs were downregulated during serial passage
23321669KDM2B repressed developmental genes through cobinding with Polycomb group (PcG) proteins at transcriptional start sites, whereas it activated a module of metabolic genes, including mediators of protein synthesis and mitochondrial function, cobound by the MYC oncogene and the histone demethylase KDM5A
23318426Here we demonstrate that the introduction of defined reprogramming factors (OCT4, SOX2, Klf4 and c-Myc) into MCF-10A nontumorigenic mammary epithelial cells, followed by partial differentiation, transforms the bulk of cells into tumorigenic CD44(+)/CD24(low) cells with CSC properties, termed here as induced CSC-like-10A or iCSCL-10A cells
23242809UNLABELLED: MYC deregulation is common in human cancer
23242809Deregulated expression of MYC results in increased mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling
23242809Therefore, mTORC1-dependent evasion of senescence is critical for cellular transformation and tumor maintenance by MYC in B lymphocytes
22836754B-Raf activation cooperates with PTEN loss to drive c-Myc expression in advanced prostate cancer
22836754Accordingly, therapeutic treatments with rapamycin and PD0325901 to target these pathways, respectively, attenuate c-Myc levels and reduce tumor and metastatic burden
22683798Two hiPSC lines, hiPSC (1) and hiPSC (2) were generated from human dermal fibroblasts using OCT-4, SOX-2, KLF-4, c-Myc via retroviral-based reprogramming
22359668Prevention of LPA receptor engagement also promoted ubiquitination-mediated c-Myc elimination in MSCs, and consequently the entry into a quiescent state, G(0) phase, of the cell cycle
22301954Conditional silencing of WRN expression in c-MYC overexpressing non-small cell lung cancer xenografts impaired both tumor establishment and tumor growth
22197555Next, we found that SIRT1 increased hTERT transcription in a c-MYC-dependent manner, triggered the transcription of the c-MYC gene and increased the amount of c-MYC recruited to the hTERT promoter
22197555Further, SIRT1 increased the transcriptional activation ability of c-MYC and correspondingly increased the amount of acetylated H4 histone at the hTERT promoter
22197555All of these results indicated that SIRT1 activates hTERT transcription through the involvement of c-MYC, and suggested that this SIRT1-induced augmentation of hTERT transcription resulted in the extension of the cellular life span of HUC-F2 cells
22190494The c-MYC oncoprotein, the NAMPT enzyme, the SIRT1-inhibitor DBC1, and the SIRT1 deacetylase form a positive feedback loop
22190494Here we determined whether SIRT1 is downstream of the prototypic c-MYC oncogene, which is activated in the majority of tumors
22190494Elevated expression of c-MYC in human colorectal cancer correlated with increased SIRT1 protein levels
22190494Activation of a conditional c-MYC allele induced increased levels of SIRT1 protein, NAD(+), and nicotinamide-phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) mRNA in several cell types
22190494This increase in SIRT1 required the induction of the NAMPT gene by c-MYC
22190494In primary human fibroblasts previously immortalized by introduction of c-MYC, down-regulation of SIRT1 induced senescence and apoptosis
22190494Furthermore, SIRT1 directly bound to and deacetylated c-MYC
22190494Enforced SIRT1 expression increased and depletion/inhibition of SIRT1 reduced c-MYC stability
22190494Depletion/inhibition of SIRT1 correlated with reduced lysine 63-linked polyubiquitination of c-Myc, which presumably destabilizes c-MYC by supporting degradative lysine 48-linked polyubiquitination
22190494Moreover, SIRT1 enhanced the transcriptional activity of c-MYC
22190494Taken together, these results show that c-MYC activates SIRT1, which in turn promotes c-MYC function
22190494Furthermore, SIRT1 suppressed cellular senescence in cells with deregulated c-MYC expression and also inhibited c-MYC-induced apoptosis
22190494Constitutive activation of this positive feedback loop may contribute to the development and maintenance of tumors in the context of deregulated c-MYC
22146591BAG2 is a target of the c-Myc gene and is involved in cellular senescence via the p21(CIP1) pathway
22146591Suppression of c-Myc is likely to induce cellular senescence in many tumors with unclear mechanisms
22146591A proteomics survey indicated that high levels of BCL2-associated athanogene 2 (BAG2) were found in response to c-Myc repression in TRE293 cells
22011035Analysis of secretome changes uncovers an autocrine/paracrine component in the modulation of cell proliferation and motility by c-Myc
22011035Because c-Myc overexpression is among the most frequent alterations in cancer, here we investigated the effect of sustained c-Myc expression on the secretome of a nontransformed human epithelial cell line (hT-RPE)
22011035By using a quantitative proteomic approach, we have identified 125 proteins in conditioned media of hT-RPE/MycER cells upon c-Myc induction
22011035Analysis of the 49 proteins significantly down-regulated by c-Myc revealed a marked enrichment of factors associated with growth inhibition and cellular senescence
22011035Accordingly, media conditioned by hT-RPE cells expressing c-Myc show an increased ability to sustain hT-RPE cellular proliferation/viability
22011035In accordance with these data, the expression of the majority of the genes encoding proteins down-regulated in hT-RPE was significantly reduced also in colorectal adenomatous polyps, early tumors in which c-Myc is invariably overexpressed
22011035These findings help to elucidate the significance of c-Myc overexpression at early stages of tumor development and uncover a remarkable autocrine/paracrine component in the ability of c-Myc to stimulate proliferation, sustain tumor maintenance, and modulate cell migration
21969595Lymphomas that recur after MYC suppression continue to exhibit oncogene addiction
21969595The suppression of oncogenic levels of MYC is sufficient to induce sustained tumor regression associated with proliferative arrest, differentiation, cellular senescence, and/or apoptosis, a phenomenon known as oncogene addiction
21969595However, after prolonged inactivation of MYC in a conditional transgenic mouse model of Emu-tTA/tetO-MYC T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, some of the tumors recur, recapitulating what is frequently observed in human tumors in response to targeted therapies
21969595Many of the recurring lymphomas (76%) harbored mutations in the tetracycline transactivator, resulting in expression of the MYC transgene even in the presence of doxycycline
21969595Importantly, shRNA-mediated suppression of the high levels of MYC in recurring tumors elicited both suppression of proliferation and increased apoptosis, confirming that these tumors remain oncogene addicted
21969595These results suggest that tumors induced by MYC remain addicted to overexpression of this oncogene
25961265Furthermore, NaBu down-regulates the proto-oncogenes c-Myc, Cyclin D1 and E2F1 mRNA levels
21921675Paradoxically, one of the cellular proliferative factors, c-Myc proto-oncogene also controls the expression of these CDKIs and modulates the fate of cell in response to DNA damage
21889194BET bromodomain inhibition as a therapeutic strategy to target c-Myc
21889194MYC contributes to the pathogenesis of a majority of human cancers, yet strategies to modulate the function of the c-Myc oncoprotein do not exist
21889194Toward this objective, we have targeted MYC transcription by interfering with chromatin-dependent signal transduction to RNA polymerase, specifically by inhibiting the acetyl-lysine recognition domains (bromodomains) of putative coactivator proteins implicated in transcriptional initiation and elongation
21889194Using a selective small-molecule bromodomain inhibitor, JQ1, we identify BET bromodomain proteins as regulatory factors for c-Myc
21889194BET inhibition by JQ1 downregulates MYC transcription, followed by genome-wide downregulation of Myc-dependent target genes
21889194Efficacy of JQ1 in three murine models of multiple myeloma establishes the therapeutic rationale for BET bromodomain inhibition in this disease and other malignancies characterized by pathologic activation of c-Myc
21702981Suppression of CK2alpha by small-interfering RNA or the CK2alpha activity inhibitor emodin inhibited proliferation of CRC cells, caused G0/G1 phase arrest, induced cell senescence, elevated the expression of p53/p21 and decreased the expression of C-myc
21678465Effects of a glycogen synthase kinase-3beta inhibitor (LiCl) on c-myc protein in intervertebral disc cells
21678465In the present study, we provide evidence that the expression of c-myc, a key protein required for cell proliferation, is regulated by Wnt signaling
21678465Our data also show that activation of Wnt signaling by LiCl, a Wnt signaling activator, leads to the suppression of c-myc promoter activity and expression
21678465To ascertain whether Wnt signaling regulates the expression of c-myc, we measured both its transcript and protein expression
21678465Following treatment with LiCl, c-myc expression was suppressed at both the mRNA and protein levels
21678465In nucleus pulposus cells treated with c-myc, cell viability increased significantly, whereas treatment with a c-myc inhibitor decreased cell viability
21678465Taken together, these results suggest that c-myc is an important factor that promotes the proliferation of nucleus pulposus cells
21627565Chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed to investigate hTERT and cellular-myelocytomatosis (c-myc) promoters' activity
21627565HER2 was found to mediate hTERT expression through activation of Nuclear Factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) and c-myc
21627565CONCLUSIONS: The present study suggests that following irradiation, HER2 receptor activates hTERT/telomerase, increasing the breast cancer cells' survival potential, through sequential induction of transcription factors NF-kappaBeta and c-myc
21193900Our experiments demonstrated a declined left ventricular performance and decreased alteration in mitochondrial gene expression with age following T-H and we have identified c-Myc, a pleotropic transcription factor, to be the most upregulated gene in 6- and 22-month-old rats after T-H
21193900The expression of c-Myc and cardiac death promoting gene Bnip3 were increased, and Pgc1-alpha and Ppar-alpha a decreased following T-H
21120446Of note, HDAC7 deficiency was further identified to induce cellular senescence program, which was also reversed by c-Myc re-expression
21120446Further chromatin immunoprecipitation assays indicated that HDAC7 directly binds with c-Myc gene and HDAC7 silencing decreased c-Myc mRNA level via reducing histone H3/H4 acetylation and repressing the association of RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) with c-Myc gene
21120446Taken together, our findings highlight for the first time an unrecognized link between HDAC7 and c-Myc and offer a novel mechanistic insight into the contribution of HDAC7 to tumor progression
21047732Paradoxically, G(1)-S phase genes such as MYC, CDK4, CDK6, CCND1, and CCND2 were strongly downregulated, in line with the observed G(1) arrest
21037952MYC Inactivation Elicits Oncogene Addiction through Both Tumor Cell-Intrinsic and Host-Dependent Mechanisms
21037952One of the most common oncogenic events in human cancer is the activation of the MYC oncogene
21037952The inactivation of MYC may be a general and effective therapy for human cancer
21037952Indeed, it has been experimentally shown that the inactivation of MYC can result in dramatic and sustained tumor regression in lymphoma, leukemia, osteosarcoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, squamous carcinoma, and pancreatic carcinoma through a multitude of mechanisms, including proliferative arrest, terminal differentiation, cellular senescence, induction of apoptosis, and the shutdown of angiogenesis
21037952Hence, targeting the inactivation of MYC appears to elicit oncogene addiction and, thereby, tumor regression through both tumor cell-intrinsic and host-dependent mechanisms
21035406Here, we show that an intact immune system, specifically CD4(+) T cells, is required for the induction of cellular senescence, shutdown of angiogenesis, and chemokine expression resulting in sustained tumor regression upon inactivation of the MYC or BCR-ABL oncogenes in mouse models of T cell acute lymphoblastic lymphoma and pro-B cell leukemia, respectively
20969773Moreover, a slight upregulation of the oncogene c-Myc, along with an undetectable level of breast tumor-related gene Bag-1 and TRPS-1, was observed in BME65Cs cells while these genes are all highly expressed in MCF-7
20713526Intrinsic tumor-suppressor pathways protect healthy cells from transformation by activated oncogenes like MYC or RAS through induction of apoptosis or cellular senescence, respectively
20713526However, when expressed together, MYC and RAS evade these barriers and initiate tumorigenesis
20445224Proto-oncogenes such as MYC and RAS promote normal cell growth but fuel tumor development when deregulated
20445224When expressed together MYC and RAS are sufficient for oncogenic transformation of primary rodent cells, but the basis for their cooperativity has remained unresolved
20382143Deregulation of MYC as a consequence of carciogenic events enforces cells to undergo a transition to a hyperproliferative state
20053783Disabling c-Myc in childhood medulloblastoma and atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor cells by the potent G-quadruplex interactive agent S2T1-6OTD
20053783S2T1-6OTD proved to be a potent c-Myc inhibitor through its high-affinity physical interaction with the G-quadruplex structure in the c-Myc promoter
20053783Treatment with S2T1-6OTD reduced the mRNA and protein expressions of c-Myc and hTERT, which is transcriptionally regulated by c-Myc, and decreased the activities of both genes
20053783Under conditions where inhibition of both proliferation and c-Myc activity was observed, S2T1-6OTD treatment decreased the protein expression of the cell cycle activator cyclin-dependent kinase 2 and induced cell cycle arrest
20052289In contrast, knockdown of IFI16 expression in cells increased the expression of c-Myc, a positive regulator of hTERT expression
20052289Additionally, over-expression of IFI16 protein in cells inhibited the c-Myc-mediated stimulation of the activity of hTERT-luc-reporter and reduced the steady-state levels of c-Myc and hTERT
20010815Cdk2 suppresses cellular senescence induced by the c-myc oncogene
19966300The MYC and RAS oncogenes are frequently activated in cancer and, together, are sufficient to transform rodent cells
19696787During senescence, miR-34a targets the important proto-oncogene MYC and our data suggest that miR-34a thereby coordinately controls a set of cell cycle regulators
19433493PTTG1 activates c-Myc in NIH 3T3 cells, suggesting a role in cell transformation
19235838FoxM1 depletion led to the down-regulation of its target genes c-MYC and Skp2, coupled with the accumulation of the CDK inhibitor p27(kip1)
19054066Platination of telomeric sequences and nuclease hypersensitive elements of human c-myc and PDGF-A promoters and their ability to form G-quadruplexes
19054066The telomeric regions of DNA and nuclease hypersensitive elements of human c-myc and PDGF-A promoters represent a very appealing target for cisplatin and may interfere with normal DNA function
18668528Recently, isolation of patient-specific induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells was achieved by transducing fibroblasts with four transcription factors, Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc
18158869METHODS: BMMS-03 cells and hMSC from the bone marrow of a 4-month-old elicited fetus, were transiently transfected with the pcDNA3-hbxip plasmid encoding the HBXIP gene and pSilencer-hbxip plasmid encoding RNA interference (RNAi) targeting HBXIP mRNA, followed by the examination of the hTERT promoter reporter gene by luciferase assay, and the detection of telomerase activity by telomeric repeat amplication protocol, respectively, as well as the expression levels of hTERT, c-Myc, and Bcl-2 by Western blot analysis
18158869RESULTS: The overexpression of HBXIP led to a significant upregulation of hTERT promoter activity, telomerase activity, and the expression levels of hTERT, c-Myc, and Bcl-2 in BMMS-03 cells
18084761The expression levels of telomerase catalytic subunit hTERT and oncogenic MYC in essential thrombocythemia are affected by the molecular subtype
18084761One direct transcriptional activator of hTERT is the oncogene MYC which is known to be, in turn, activated by JAK2
18084761To explore the relationship of telomerase, MYC and JAK2 in chronic myeloproliferative diseases, we investigated hTERT and MYC expression in bone marrow cells of essential thrombocythemia (ET) and polycythemia vera (PV)
18084761To explore the relationship of telomerase, MYC and JAK2 in chronic myeloproliferative diseases, we investigated hTERT and MYC expression in bone marrow cells of essential thrombocythemia (ET) and polycythemia vera (PV)
18084761We could determine an up-regulation of MYC expression exclusively in JAK2(wt) ET, whereas hTERT expression was rather inconsistent across the groups
18084761Interestingly, a significant correlation between MYC and hTERT expression could only be established in homozygous JAK2(V617F) PV and control cases
18084761Thus, the functional link between MYC and hTERT seems to be impaired depending on the molecular ET subtype, which in turn may have implications on the phenotype and course of the disease
17986575Several Ets transcription factors are involved in regulating hTERT gene expression, both directly and indirectly through the proto-oncogene c-myc
17664422Cellular senescence is an important mechanism of tumor regression upon c-Myc inactivation
17664422Here we report that the suppression of the c-Myc (MYC) oncogene induces cellular senescence in diverse tumor types including lymphoma, osteosarcoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma
17664422Here we report that the suppression of the c-Myc (MYC) oncogene induces cellular senescence in diverse tumor types including lymphoma, osteosarcoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma
17664422MYC inactivation was associated with prototypical markers of senescence, including acidic beta-gal staining, induction of p16INK4a, and p15INK4b expression
17664422Moreover, MYC inactivation induced global changes in chromatin structure associated with the marked reduction of histone H4 acetylation and increased histone H3 K9 methylation
17664422Osteosarcomas engineered to be deficient in p16INK4a or Rb exhibited impaired senescence and failed to exhibit sustained tumor regression upon MYC inactivation
17664422Similarly, only after lymphomas were repaired for p53 expression did MYC inactivation induce robust senescence and sustained tumor regression
17664422The pharmacologic inhibition of signaling pathways implicated in oncogene-induced senescence including ATM/ATR and MAPK did not prevent senescence associated with MYC inactivation
17664422Our results suggest that cellular senescence programs remain latently functional, even in established tumors, and can become reactivated, serving as a critical mechanism of oncogene addiction associated with MYC inactivation
17569615These inhibitory effects of IFI16 were associated with upregulation of p21 and inhibition of cyclin E, cyclin D1, c-Myc and Ras
17473528The mRNA expressions of Smad3 increased, but those of c-myc and nucleostemin decreased with the length hMSCs were in in vitro culture
17151361Mel-18, a polycomb group protein, regulates cell proliferation and senescence via transcriptional repression of Bmi-1 and c-Myc oncoproteins
17151361Importantly, using promoter-reporter, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and quantitative real-time primary transcript RT-PCR assays, and an RNA interference approach, we demonstrate that Bmi-1 is a bona fide target of c-Myc oncoprotein
17151361Finally, our data suggest that Mel-18 regulates Bmi-1 expression during senescence via down-regulation of c-Myc
17151361These studies link c-Myc and polycomb function in cell proliferation and senescence
17102614Cellular senescence, epigenetic switches and c-Myc
17102614We recently found that human fibroblasts or endothelial cells with genetically-engineered reduction of proto-oncogene c-Myc expression switched with an increased frequency to a senescent state by a telomere-independent mechanism involving the polycomb group repressor Bmi-1 and the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p16(INK4a)
17100566The results may have two important implications for oncogene-blocking therapies: (i) downregulation of oncogenes, for instance HER2, MYC, RAS, RAF, BCR-ABL or WNT1, usually leads to a rapid tumor remission
16818632MYC can induce DNA breaks in vivo and in vitro independent of reactive oxygen species
16818632MYC overexpression is thought to initiate tumorigenesis by inducing cellular proliferation and growth and to be restrained from causing tumorigenesis by inducing cell cycle arrest, cellular senescence, and/or apoptosis
16818632Here we show that MYC can induce DNA breaks both in vitro and in vivo independent of increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS)
16818632We provide an insight into the specific circumstances under which MYC generates ROS in vitro and propose a possible mechanism
16818632We found that MYC induces DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) independent of ROS production in murine lymphocytes in vivo as well as in normal human foreskin fibroblasts (NHFs) in vitro in normal (10%) serum, as measured by gammaH2AX staining
16818632In NHFs cultured in low versus normal serum, MYC induced increased expression of CYP2C9, a gene product well known to be associated with ROS production
16818632Hence, MYC overexpression can induce ROS and SSBs under some conditions, but generally induces widespread DSBs in vivo and in vitro independent of ROS production
16537449Reduced c-Myc signaling triggers telomere-independent senescence by regulating Bmi-1 and p16(INK4a)
16537449Normal human fibroblasts with one copy of the c-myc gene inactivated by targeted homologous recombination switched with an increased frequency to a telomere-independent senescent state mediated by the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p16(INK4a)
16537449The Myc-Bmi circuit provides a mechanism for the conversion of environmental inputs that converge on c-Myc into discrete cell-fate decisions coupled to cell-cycle recruitment
16319532Drug-induced changes in the expression of c-myc and p21(WAF1), and in their respective protein levels, were observed
16167342This loss results in persistent expression of hMad4, which leads to an inability to switch from an hMad4/Max complex to a c-Myc/Max complex on selected c-Myc target genes following serum stimulation
16167342In reporter assays, Miz-1 enhances reporter GFP expression; this enhancement is inhibited by co-expressing c-Myc
16167342Thus hMad4, as does its murine counterpart, contains the Inr element through which Miz-1 activates its expression; but this action is inhibited in the presence of c-Myc
16167342This inhibition may explain the down-regulation of hMad4, corresponding to the up-regulation of c-Myc, in young serum-starved quiescent fibroblasts upon serum stimulation
16167342However, this reciprocal change does not occur in replicatively senescent fibroblasts upon serum stimulation; instead, hMad4 persists in the presence of high levels of c-Myc activation
16167342Our results suggest that: (1) replicative senescence-specific factors may block c-Myc inhibition of Miz-1 activation of hMad4 expression; and (2) the continual presence of hMad4 protein may transcriptionally repress selected c-Myc target genes, whose functions are key to the signaling pathways leading to apoptosis inhibition and permanent exit of cell cycle traverse in normal human fibroblasts
16055741Overexpression of hPNPase(OLD-35) in human melanoma cells and melanocytes induces distinctive changes associated with senescence, potentially mediated by direct degradation of c-myc mRNA by this enzyme
16055741Moreover, either one of the two RPH domains induced the morphological, biochemical, and gene expression changes associated with senescence, including degradation of c-myc mRNA
16055741The present study elucidates how a predominantly mitochondrial protein, via its localization in both mitochondria and cytoplasm, is able to target a specific cytoplasmic mRNA, c-myc, for degradation and through this process induce cellular senescence
15098029The translation factor eIF-4E promotes tumor formation and cooperates with c-Myc in lymphomagenesis
15098029We found that c-Myc overrides eIF-4E-induced cellular senescence, whereas eIF-4E antagonizes c-Myc-dependent apoptosis in vivo
14563552Induction of endogenous telomerase (hTERT) by c-Myc in WI-38 fibroblasts transformed with specific genetic elements
14563552Transduced cells exhibited anchorage independence in soft agar and expressed increased levels of c-Myc and endogenous hTERT
14563552These findings indicate that the widely used model system of WI-38 fibroblasts can be employed for transformation studies using defined genetic elements and that the endogenous hTERT and c-Myc are induced in these cells during early tumorigenesis
14563552Such studies should have important implications in the mechanisms of hTERT and c-Myc induction in the beginning stages of tumorigenesis and facilitate extension of these studies to novel models of tumorigenesis in cellular senescence
12842909The MYC oncoprotein is a transcription factor that coordinates cell growth and division
12842909MYC overexpression exacerbates genomic instability and sensitizes cells to apoptotic stimuli
12842909Here we demonstrate that MYC directly stimulates transcription of the human Werner syndrome gene, WRN, which encodes a conserved RecQ helicase
12842909The overexpression of MYC in WRN syndrome fibroblasts or after WRN depletion from control fibroblasts led to rapid cellular senescence that could not be suppressed by hTERT expression
12842909We propose that WRN up-regulation by MYC may promote MYC-driven tumorigenesis by preventing cellular senescence
11846374Microarray gene screening reveals that quiescent and senescent cells, in comparison with replicating ones, are characterized by downregulation of Pam, a protein associated with c-Myc, and upregulation of Mad family genes, Max dimerization proteins
11846374Moreover, quiescence and senescence can be distinguished by increased expression of Irlb, c-Myc transcription factor, and Miz-1, c-Myc-interacting Zn finger protein 1, only in the former state
11795494Immortalization of human embryonic fibroblasts by overexpression of c-myc and simian virus 40 large T antigen
11795494We attempted to find out what this alteration is by overexpressing cellular signal mediator genes; c-myc and cyclin D frequently amplified in many cancer cells
11795494Overexpression of cyclin D did not affect the immortalization, but, overexpression of c-myc along with T antigen could immortalize normal human diploid fibroblast
11795494Several cellular markers tested during immortalization process showed that p21, a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor and a marker of cellular senescence, disappeared in the life span-extended cells by T antigen and in the immortalized cells by c-myc
11795494These results suggest that overexpression of c-myc contributes to immortalization of human diploid fibroblast by activating telomerase activity and suppressing p21 activity
11283613Alleles of c-myc that are unable to bind to Miz-1 fail to inhibit accumulation of p15INK4b messenger RNA in primary cells and are, as a consequence, deficient in immortalization
10963125The mechanisms regulating hTERT expression have been extensively analyzed, and transcriptional regulation of hTERT has been found to be essential for hTERT expression, in which several nuclear factors including c-Myc play crucial roles
10648922One oncogene that might activate TERT in the natural context is c-myc
10606235We also found that estrogen activates c-Myc expression in MCF-7 cells and that E-boxes in the hTERT promoter that bind c-Myc/Max play additional roles in estrogen-induced transactivation of hTERT
10593857Several proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes have been implicated in the regulation of telomerase activity, both directly and indirectly; these include c-Myc, Bcl-2, p21(WAF1), Rb, p53, PKC, Akt/PKB, and protein phosphatase 2A
10561724Finally, migrated or unmigrated cells were examined for the expression of c-fos and c-myc by in situhybridization
9642304Induction of c-fos/c-myc expression by epidermal growth factor decreases with alteration of their gene binding proteins in senescent fibroblasts
9642304OBJECTIVE: To observe the changes of proto-oncogene c-fos/c-myc expression and its relation to specific transcription factors in human senescent fibroblast after epidermal growth factor (EGF) addition
9642304METHODS: The c-fos/c-myc expression were analysed by Northern blot
9642304RESULTS: (1) The expression of c-fos/c-myc was less susceptible to induction by EGF as the cells aged
9642304CONCLUSIONS: Inability of c-fos/c-myc gene induction by EGF in senescent cells might be correlated with some DNA-binding proteins
9521854Accelerated proliferative senescence of rat embryo fibroblasts after stable transfection of multiple copies of the c-Myc DNA-binding sequence
9521854The protooncogene c-myc positively regulates cellular proliferation whereas it exhibits negative effects on both cellular senescence and differentiation
9521854Ectopic overexpression of c-myc in transfection experiments or titration of the c-myc mRNA by antisense oligonucleotides has demonstrated that small changes of the concentration of cellular c-myc mRNA or protein levels can be crucial for these processes
9521854In view of the role of c-Myc as a transcription factor, most of these effects may be mediated via its binding to specific DNA sequences
9521854Here we studied the cellular reactions after manipulating the cellular concentration of c-Myc DNA-binding sites
9521854Multiple copies of the c-Myc-binding sequence GACCACGTGGTC or, alternatively, the control sequence GACCAGCTGGTC that displays only a poor affinity for c-Myc were stably introduced into the genome of rat embryo fibroblasts
8853900However, serum-stimulated myotubes display a typical immediate-early response, including the up-regulation of c-fos, c-jun, c-myc, and ld-1
7776985Changes of the methylation pattern of the c-myc gene during in vitro aging of IMR90 human embryonic fibroblasts
7776985As the expression of c-myc affects strongly cellular aging and terminal differentiation, we have analysed the sequence-specific methylation pattern of the c-myc gene during proliferative aging in vitro of human embryonic fibroblasts
7616677Senescent cells showed the strong transcriptional repressions of early serum responsive genes (c-fos, c-jun, c-myc), late responsive genes of transcription factor E2F1 and cyclin E
8294468In senescent cells, serum barely induced the Id-1H and Id-2H mRNAs, although the levels of c-myc expression induced were similar in early passage and senescent cells
1537881Treatment of HOME cells with EGF significantly increased cellular mRNA levels of tissue-type plasminogen activator, and two protooncogenes, c-fos and c-myc, in young HOME cells, but not in senescent HOME cells
2104680Irreversible changes in gene expression occurred in senescent human fetal lung fibroblasts: a non-cell cycle-regulated mRNA was partially repressed; an unusual polyadenylated histone mRNA was expressed; although serum induced c-H-ras, c-myc, and ornithine decarboxylase mRNA normally, ornithine decarboxylase activity was deficient; and serum did not induce mRNA for a replication-dependent histone and for the c-fos proto-oncogene
3403538The time course and the magnitude of the expression of c-myc, an early G1 gene, were quite similar in young and senescent IMR-90 cells and appeared to be PDL-independent
3283652Transcription of the c-myc oncogene is altered in spontaneously immortalized rodent fibroblasts
3283652We have analysed the role of the cellular oncogene, c-myc in the process of in vitro cellular ageing and spontaneous cellular immortalization using rodent fibroblasts
3283652The steady-state level of c-myc of mouse and rat fibroblasts does not change significantly during cellular ageing in vitro
3283652By contrast, the steady state level of c-myc mRNA increases 3- to 20-fold upon spontaneous establishment of these rodent fibroblasts
3283652The changes in the steady-state level of c-myc mRNA are not due to gene amplification nor to gross gene rearrangements or translocations
3283652However, the response of the myc gene to growth factor stimulation is present apparently equally in both mortal and immortal cells; a difference is seen in an increased maintenance of high c-myc mRNA levels after growth stimulation in established cell lines
3283652Both young and senescent mortal cells, as well as immortal cells, respond to mitogen stimulation with a sharp increase in c-myc mRNA levels
3283652We also demonstrated that the c-myc mRNA levels do not respond to serum concentration above a minimum level, nor do they respond to factors in the conditioned medium of immortal cell cultures
3494524Additionally, the EGF-induced expression of specific competence genes (c-myc, JE, KC) is decreased, whereas the induction of c-fos gene expression by EGF is unaltered by TGF-beta treatment
2434812When senescent human diploid cells, TIG-1, were stimulated with serum at the end of their proliferative life span, such biochemical events as uptakes of 2-deoxyglucose and uridine, and expression of c-myc, were enhanced
