Methods of prognosis and treatment of patients suffering from MYC-high tumors

The MYC and NMYC transcription factors (TFs) play a key role in cell proliferation and are overexpressed in most cancer cells. However, in normal cells their overexpression triggers safeguard mechanisms promoting cell death and cellular senescence, which are bypassed in cancer cells. Here, the inventors reveal that in normal cells MYC binds to the Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate Receptor type 1 (ITPR1) gene and upregulates its expression, triggering an ER-mitochondria calcium (Ca2+) transfer, which is involved in MYC-induced cell death and senescence. Supporting a tumor suppressive role of MYC / ITPR1 axis, ITPR1 expression is generally decreased in cancer and reactivation of this pathway induces cancer cell death. Nevertheless, some cancer cells, generally expressing high levels of MYCN and / or MYC, also express high level of ITPR1, which correlates with high expression of BCL2, encoding an inhibitor of ITPR1. Strikingly, in high-risk MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma, ITPR1 expression is controlled by NMYC and its level correlates with worse patient survival. In these cells, blocking the interaction between BCL2 and ITPR1, via an BCL2-BH4 domain inhibitor induces mitochondrial Ca2+ accumulation and cell death, and decreases tumor size. Thus, the present invention relates to a method for treating MYChigh cancer, and in particular NMYC--amplified neuroblastoma in a subject by administering an BCL2-BH4 domain inhibitor.

Understanding the function of rare non-coding variants represents a significant challenge. Using MapUTR, a screening method, we studied the function of rare 3' UTR variants affecting mRNA abundance post-transcriptionally. Functional MapUTR variants were enriched in microRNA- or protein-binding sites and may underlie outlier gene expression in tumors. Further, we introduce untranslated tumor mutational burden (uTMB), a metric reflecting the amount of somatic functional MapUTR variants of a tumor and show its potential in predicting patient survival. Through prime editing, we characterized three variants in cancer-relevant genes (MFN2, FOSL2, and IRAK1), demonstrating their cancer-driving potential. Our disclosure elucidates the function of tens of thousands of non-coding variants, nominates non-coding cancer driver mutations, and demonstrates methods for their use in the management of cancers.
