Amplification of the MYCN oncogene, a member of the MYC family of transcriptional
regulators, is one of the most powerful prognostic markers identified for poor
outcome in neuroblastoma, the most common extracranial solid cancer in childhood.
While MYCN has been established as a key driver of malignancy in neuroblastoma,
the underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Transcription factor
activating enhancer binding protein-4 (TFAP4) has been reported to be a direct
transcriptional target of MYC. We show for the first time that high expression of
TFAP4 in primary neuroblastoma patients is associated with poor clinical outcome.
siRNA-mediated suppression of TFAP4 in MYCN-expressing neuroblastoma cells led to
inhibition of cell proliferation and migration. Chromatin immunoprecipitation
assay demonstrated that TFAP4 expression is positively regulated by MYCN.
Microarray analysis identified genes regulated by both MYCN and TFAP4 in
neuroblastoma cells, including Phosphoribosyl-pyrophosphate synthetase-2 (PRPS2)
and Syndecan-1 (SDC1), which are involved in cancer cell proliferation and
metastasis. Overall this study suggests a regulatory circuit in which MYCN by
elevating TFAP4 expression, cooperates with it to control a specific set of genes
involved in tumor progression. These findings highlight the existence of a
MYCN-TFAP4 axis in MYCN-driven neuroblastoma as well as identifying potential
therapeutic targets for aggressive forms of this disease.
