Original Article MYCN-Mediated Regulation of the HES1 Promoter Enhances the Chemoresistance of Small-Cell Lung Cancer by Modulating Apoptosis

Received June 29, 2019; Accepted August 10, 2019; Epub September 1, 2019; Published September 15, 2019 Abstract: MYCN, a member of the MYC family, is correlated with tumorigenesis, metastasis and therapy in many malig nancies; however, its role in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) remains unclear. In this study, we sought to identify the function of MYCN in SCLC chemoresistance and found that MYCN is overexpressed in chemoresistant SCLC cells. We used MYCN gain- and loss-of- function experiments to demonstrate that MYCN promotes in vitro and in vivo chemoresistance in SCLC by inhibiting apoptosis. Mechanistic investigations showed that MYCN binds to the HES1 promoter and exhibits transcriptional activity. Furthermore, MYCN mediated SCLC chemoresistance through HES1. Accordingly, the NOTCH inhibitor FLI-60 derepressed HES1 and diminished MYCN-induced chemoresistance in SCLC. Finally, the positive correlation between HES1 and MYCN was confirmed in SCLC patients. -

The Biology of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Implications for Genomic and Immune Therapies Galina Khemlina1,4*, Sadakatsu Ikeda2,3 and Razelle Kurzrock2
Khemlina et al. Molecular Cancer (2017) 16:149 DOI 10.1186/s12943-017-0712-x REVIEW Open Access The biology of Hepatocellular carcinoma: implications for genomic and immune therapies Galina Khemlina1,4*, Sadakatsu Ikeda2,3 and Razelle Kurzrock2 Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common type of primary liver cancer, is a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. It is highly refractory to most systemic therapies. Recently, significant progress has been made in uncovering genomic alterations in HCC, including potentially targetable aberrations. The most common molecular anomalies in this malignancy are mutations in the TERT promoter, TP53, CTNNB1, AXIN1, ARID1A, CDKN2A and CCND1 genes. PTEN loss at the protein level is also frequent. Genomic portfolios stratify by risk factors as follows: (i) CTNNB1 with alcoholic cirrhosis; and (ii) TP53 with hepatitis B virus-induced cirrhosis. Activating mutations in CTNNB1 and inactivating mutations in AXIN1 both activate WNT signaling. Alterations in this pathway, as well as in TP53 and the cell cycle machinery, and in the PI3K/Akt/mTor axis (the latter activated in the presence of PTEN loss), as well as aberrant angiogenesis and epigenetic anomalies, appear to be major events in HCC. Many of these abnormalities may be pharmacologically tractable. Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors is also emerging as an important treatment option. Indeed, 82% of patients express PD-L1 (immunohistochemistry) and response rates to anti-PD-1 treatment are about 19%, and include about 5% complete remissions as well as durable benefit in some patients. Biomarker-matched trials are still limited in this disease, and many of the genomic alterations in HCC remain challenging to target. -
