近日,武汉大学中南医院刘胡丹研究小组发现,Aurora B激酶直接磷酸化并稳定MYC来促进T细胞白血病的发生。相关论文2020年2月10日发表于国际学术期刊《癌细胞》。

研究人员发现了Aurora B激酶(AURKB)和MYC之间相互激活的分子机制。AURKB在丝氨酸67处直接磷酸化MYC,抵消了GSK3β介导的第58位苏氨酸磷酸化和随后FBXW7介导的蛋白酶体降解。稳定的MYC与T细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病1(TAL1)蛋白协同作用,直接激活AURKB转录,构成一个正向反馈环路,增强了MYC调控的致癌程序。因此,AURKB抑制剂诱导明显的MYC降解,并随强烈的白血病细胞死亡。这些发现揭示了作为T细胞白血病发生的AURKB-MYC调节回路,并为通过AURKB抑制致癌性MYC的治疗靶向提供了依据。
 
据了解,MYC的失调在T细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病(T-ALL)中起着至关重要的作用,但其失调的机制仍然难以捉摸。

Abstract: Deregulation of MYC plays an essential role in T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia(T-ALL), yet the mechanisms underlying its deregulation remain elusive. Herein, weidentify a molecular mechanism responsible for reciprocal activation between AuroraB kinase (AURKB) and MYC. AURKB directly phosphorylates MYC at serine 67, counteractingGSK3β-directed threonine 58 phosphorylation and subsequent FBXW7-mediated proteasomaldegradation. Stabilized MYC, in concert with T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia 1(TAL1), directly activates AURKB transcription, constituting a positive feedforward loop that reinforces MYC-regulatedoncogenic programs. Therefore, inhibitors of AURKB induce prominent MYC degradationconcomitant with robust leukemia cell death. These findings reveal an AURKB-MYC regulatorycircuit that underlies T cell leukemogenesis, and provide a rationale for therapeutictargeting of oncogenic MYC via AURKB inhibition.
