Inhibition of MYC attenuates tumor cell self‐renewal and promotes senescence in SMARCB1‐deficient Group 2 atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumors to suppress tumor growth in vivo

Abstract excerpt

Loss of SMARCB1 is the hallmark genetic event that characterizes rhabdoid tumors in children. Rhabdoid tumors of the brain (ATRT) occur in young children and are particularly challenging with poor long-term survival. SMARCB1 is a member of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex that is responsible for determining cellular pluripotency and lineage commitment. The mechanisms by which SMARCB1 deletion results in...
