c-MYC apoptotic function is mediated by NRF-1 target genes

Abstract: A detailed understanding of the signaling pathways by which c-Myc elicits apoptosis has proven elusive. In the current study, we have evaluated whether the activation of the mitochondrial apoptotic signaling pathway is linked to c-Myc induction of a subset of genes involved in mitochondrial biogenesis. Cytochrome c and other nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes are regulated by the transcription factor nuclear respiratory factor-1 (NRF-1). The consensus binding sequence (T/C)GCGCA(C/T)GCGC(A/G) of NRF-1 include… Show more

“…Indeed, one pathway through which p53 can directly regulate mitochondrial oxygen consumption is by transactivation of SCO2, an assembly factor for cytochrome c oxidase (9). Similarly, other tumor suppressors and oncogenes such as c-myc can also regulate key components of mitochondrial function such as cytochrome c (10). Such regulation may suggest that the handful of genes commonly altered or deleted in human tumors might ultimately provide the genetic link between mitochondria function and cell-cycle checkpoints.…”

“…NRF-1 regulates MEF2A in muscle possibly accounting for indirect NRF-1 control over the expression of musclespecific MEF2 target genes [33]. Finally, c-myc acts on the expression of certain NRF-1 target genes through a canonical NRF-1 binding site resulting in the sensitization of cells to apoptosis [34]. Expression of a dominant-negative allele of NRF-1 blocked the induction of apoptosis by c-myc.…”

“…Given the important role of NO as a second messenger, this mechanism thus may connect cytoplasmic signaling with the regulation of mitochondrial processes. Most recently, it has been shown that NRF-1 regulated genes are also functional targets of the oncogene class transcription factor c-Myc [42]. c-Myc expression is rapidly induced by mitogenic signaling [43], and it is possible that this physiological response may establish a link between mitogen signaling and mitochondrial biogenesis.…”
