MDM2 and MDM4 Are Therapeutic Vulnerabilities in Malignant Rhabdoid Tumors
12 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRT) are highly aggressive pediatric cancers that respond poorly to current therapies. In this study, we screened several MRT cell lines with large-scale RNAi, CRISPR-Cas9, and small-molecule libraries to identify potential drug targets specific for these cancers. We discovered MDM2 and MDM4, the canonical negative regulators of p53, as significant vulnerabilities. Using two...
