Selective transcriptional regulation by Myc in cellular growth control and lymphomagenesis

…, A Tesi, MJ Morelli, P Bora, M Doni, A Verrecchia… - Nature, 2014 - nature.com
The c-myc proto-oncogene product, Myc, is a transcription factor that binds thousands of
genomic loci 1 . Recent work suggested that rather than up- and downregulating selected …

Tip60 is a haplo-insufficient tumour suppressor required for an oncogene-induced DNA damage response

…, L Wark, F Martinato, D Sardella, A Verrecchia… - Nature, 2007 - nature.com
The acetyl-transferase Tip60 might influence tumorigenesis in multiple ways 1 . First, Tip60
is a co-regulator of transcription factors that either promote or suppress tumorigenesis, such …

Cdk2 suppresses cellular senescence induced by the c-myc oncogene

S Campaner, M Doni, P Hydbring, A Verrecchia… - Nature cell …, 2010 - nature.com
Activated oncogenes induce compensatory tumour-suppressive responses, such as cellular
senescence or apoptosis, but the signals determining the main outcome remain to be fully …

Translation of a retained intron in tyrosinase-related protein (TRP) 2 mRNA generates a new cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL)-defined and shared human melanoma …

R Lupetti, P Pisarra, A Verrecchia, C Farina… - The Journal of …, 1998 - rupress.org
We report here the identification of a new shared human melanoma antigen recognized by a
human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A*68011–restricted cytotoxic T lymphocyte clone (CTL 128)…

Transcriptional integration of mitogenic and mechanical signals by Myc and YAP

…, D Aldeghi, C Biancotto, A Verrecchia… - Genes & …, 2017 - genesdev.cshlp.org
Mammalian cells must integrate environmental cues to determine coherent physiological
responses. The transcription factors Myc and YAP–TEAD act downstream from mitogenic …

Identification of MYC-dependent transcriptional programs in oncogene-addicted liver tumors

…, S Bianchi, L Rotta, T Capra, M Ravà, A Verrecchia… - Cancer research, 2016 - AACR
Tumors driven by activation of the transcription factor MYC generally show oncogene
addiction. However, the gene expression programs that depend upon sustained MYC activity …

Oxidative stress enhances the therapeutic action of a respiratory inhibitor in MYC‐driven lymphoma

G Donati, P Nicoli, A Verrecchia… - EMBO Molecular …, 2023 - embopress.org
MYC is a key oncogenic driver in multiple tumor types, but concomitantly endows cancer
cells with a series of vulnerabilities that provide opportunities for targeted pharmacological …

An early Myc‐dependent transcriptional program orchestrates cell growth during B‐cell activation

…, MJ Morelli, A Andronache, M Doni, A Verrecchia… - EMBO …, 2019 - embopress.org
Upon activation, lymphocytes exit quiescence and undergo substantial increases in cell size,
accompanied by activation of energy‐producing and anabolic pathways, widespread …

Integrative analysis of RNA polymerase II and transcriptional dynamics upon MYC activation

…, MJ Morelli, A Sabò, C Locarno, A Verrecchia… - Genome …, 2017 - genome.cshlp.org
Overexpression of the MYC transcription factor causes its widespread interaction with
regulatory elements in the genome but leads to the up- and down-regulation of discrete sets of …

DNA damage response activation in mouse embryonic fibroblasts undergoing replicative senescence and following spontaneous immortalization

…, A Cicalese, M Fumagalli, M Dobreva, A Verrecchia… - Cell cycle, 2008 - Taylor & Francis
Primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) are a popular tool for molecular and cell biology
studies. However, when MEFs are grown in vitro under standard tissue culture conditions, …
