Combined Targeting of the BRD4–NUT–p300 Axis in NUT Midline Carcinoma by Dual Selective Bromodomain Inhibitor, NEO2734
5 May 2020
Abstract excerpt
Abstract NUT midline carcinoma (NMC) is a rare, aggressive subtype of squamous carcinoma that is driven by the BRD4-NUT fusion oncoprotein. BRD4, a BET protein, binds to chromatin through its two bromodomains, and NUT recruits the p300 histone acetyltransferse (HAT) to activate transcription of oncogenic target genes. BET-selective bromodomain inhibitors have demonstrated on-target activity in patients with NMC,...
