In this issue of , Sodir and colleagues employ a pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma mouse model with mutant KRAS and inducible MYC to demonstrate that MYC acts as a reversible driver of malignant tumor progression. Abrogation of MYC triggers rapid regression and disassembly of the ensemble tumor through both cancer cell-intrinsic and cancer cell-extrinsic mechanisms, providing a compelling rationale for therapeutic targeting of MYC..
本期杂志中,Sodir 及其同事采用带有突变 KRAS 和可诱导 MYC 的胰腺导管腺癌小鼠模型,证明 MYC 是恶性肿瘤进展的一种可逆驱动因素。通过内在和外在的肿瘤细胞机制,消除 MYC 会触发肿瘤的快速消退和分解,为 MYC 的治疗靶向提供了强有力的依据。
