Outline of Research at the Start

がん遺伝子MYCはがんゲノム医療の代表的なドライバー遺伝子であり、きわめて重要な治療標的であるにも関わらず、MYC異常を標的とした治療法は未だ確立されていない。本研究ではMYCが予後不良に強く影響する卵巣がん及び悪性リンパ腫を対象に「MYC高発現による分子ネットワークとその支持機構」及び「治療抵抗性の生残細胞におけるMYC制御の分子機構」を明らかにすることでMYC異常がんの脆弱性の分子基盤の解明を目指す。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we aimed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying treatment resistance in MYC-aberrant cancers such as MYC gene amplification and translocation by conducting transcriptome and long-read genomic structural variant analyses of malignant lymphoma and ovarian cancer. RNA sequencing revealed characteristic gene expression signatures in MYC-high cell lines, which differed depending on the cancer type. Structural analyses identified not only common alterations such as CDKN2A deletion but also several novel structural variants in genes potentially linked to MYC abnormalities. Furthermore, MYC-high cells exhibited a transition to a dormant “diapause” state upon anticancer drug treatment, associated with a reduction in MYC protein levels and downregulation of translation-related genes. These findings provide new insights into the treatment resistance of MYC-aberrant cancers and may contribute to the development of targeted therapies.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

がんドライバー遺伝子のMYCは卵巣がん等多岐に亘って遺伝子増幅や高発現をはじめとした異常を有するため、がんゲノム検査でもMYCの異常が多く検出される。しかしながら未だMYCを標的とした治療法は実現していない。本研究によりMYC異常に伴うゲノム構造多型を持つ遺伝子や特徴的な遺伝子発現signature、MYCの発現制御の知見を得た。MYCは増殖や代謝を司るため、MYC自体の治療標的のみならず、MYC異常に伴う特徴も治療標的としての重要性と他の抗がん剤との併用時にはMYC低下による休眠状態を考慮に入れる必要があることを示唆した。今後のがんゲノム検査に伴うMYC標的治療の開発へ意義のある結果を得た。
