A MYC Family Switch: L-MYC Drives and Maintains Neuroendocrine Lineage Programs in Prostate Cancer

Listed in NCBI GEO

Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is an aggressive and therapy-resistant subtype that emerges through lineage plasticity following inhibition of the androgen receptor (AR) signaling pathway.

Description

In this study, MYCL was overexpressed in prostate adenocarcinoma C4-2B cells and knocked down in neuroendocrine prostate cancer NCI-H660 cells to investigate its role in lineage regulation. RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that MYCL overexpression suppresses AR signaling and MYC target signaling while inducing neuroendocrine-like transcriptional reprogramming.

In contrast, MYCL knockdown disrupts neuroendocrine lineage identity and restores adenocarcinoma-associated gene expression programs, including reactivation of MYC. These findings suggest that MYCL plays a key role in regulating lineage plasticity and maintaining neuroendocrine transcriptional programs in prostate cancer.
