Inactivation of SMC2 shows a synergistic lethal response inMYCN-amplified neuroblastoma cells

Abstract: The condensin complex is required for chromosome condensation during mitosis; however, the role of this complex during interphase is unclear. Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor of childhood, and it is often lethal. In human neuroblastoma, MYCN gene amplification is correlated with poor prognosis. This study demonstrates that the gene encoding the condensin complex subunit SMC2 is transcriptionally regulated by MYCN. SMC2 also transcriptionally regulates DNA damage response genes in coope… Show more

“…The structural maintenance of chromosomes protein-2 encoded by SMC2 is a core component of the condensin complex that is responsible for close packaging of chromatin before cell division (55). Moreover, SMC2 is a direct transcriptional target of oncogenic WNT signaling and N-Myc (56,57), and is emerging as a critical player in the DNA damage response (58). The index risk SNP at one of the seven new cross-cancer susceptibility loci discussed here was a genotyped SNP while at four other loci we were able to identify a genotyped SNP in the same region that was also genome-wide significant at P < 10 −8 .…”

“…Indeed, mutations or altered expression of condensin subunits are associated with several cancer types (Emmanuel et al, 2011; Leiserson et al, 2014; Murakami-Tonami et al, 2014; Ryu et al, 2007); HECTD1 expression is elevated in ER-α-positive breast cancer patients in Oncomine databases (Figure S7I), and is important for ER-α-negative breast cancer cell invasion and metastasis (Li et al, 2013b). Given the important roles of condensins acting on tightly regulated specific genomic regions (e.g.…”

“…Cohesin mutations have been identified in myeloid leukemias (Leeke et al, 2014). The condensin component Smc2 and the Smc5/6 complex component Smc6 are overexpressed in cancers, such as colorectal, neuroblastoma and breast cancer (Davalos et al, 2012;Murakami-Tonami et al, 2014;Stevens et al, 2011). Furthermore, mutation of Smc5 is linked to the development of brain metastases (Saunus et al, 2015).…”
