Publication number: 20110177038Abstract: Deregulated expression of the c-Myc transcription factor is found in a wide variety of human tumors. Because of this significant role in oncogenesis, considerable effort has been devoted to elucidating the molecular program initiated by deregulated c-myc expression. The primary transforming activity of Myc is thought to arise through transcriptional regulation of numerous target genes. Thus far, Myc target genes involved in mitochondrial function have not been characterized in depth. Here, we describe a nuclear c-Myc target gene, PRDX3, which encodes a mitochondrial protein of the peroxiredoxin gene family. Expression of PRDX3 is induced by the mycER system and is reduced in c-myc?/? cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis spanning the entire PRDX3 genomic sequence reveals that Myc binds preferentially to a 930-bp region surrounding exon 1. We show that PRDX3 is required for Myc-mediated proliferation, transformation, and apoptosis after glucose withdrawal.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2008Publication date: July 21, 2011Applicant: THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITYInventors: Chi V. DANG, Diane WONSEY

Publication number: 20090209621Abstract: The invention generally features compositions and methods that are useful for treating or diagnosing a neoplasia. The invention is based in part on the observation that c-Myc activated expression of a cluster of six miRNAs on human chromosome 13. Accordingly, the invention provides therapeutic compositions and methods for altering the expression of a microRNA of the invention thereby treating a neoplasia, as well as compositions and methods for diagnosing a neoplasia.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2006Publication date: August 20, 2009Applicant: THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITYInventors: Joshua T.
