Abstract

Although from the very beginning Rudolf Virchow, the father of cellular pathology, laid emphasis on disturbance of function, for many years the attention of pathologists was concentrated on the changes in structure produced by disease. The structures involved were the nucleus and cytoplasm. Now that the infinite complexity of cellular structure has been revealed by the electron microscope and cytochemical technique, attention has again been focused on disturbance of function, which alone is responsible for the symptoms of the sick person who seeks help from the doctor.

MondoA mediates transcriptional coordination between the MYC network and the integrated stress response in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

MYC amplification contributes to poor survival and outcome in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Here we show that in PDAC cell lines with amplified MYC, MondoA is required for viability, facilitating proliferation while suppressing apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. Transcriptional and genomic profiling demonstrates that loss of MondoA leads to altered expression of direct MondoA targets as well as MYC target genes and is accompanied by shifts in genomic occupancy of MYC, MNT, and the MondoA paralog ChREBP. This altered genomic binding by MYC network members is associated with transcriptional perturbation of multiple metabolic and stress pathways, as well as global changes in N6-methyladenosine modification (m6A) of mRNA. MondoA inhibition disrupts coordination between MYC network members and the Integrated Stress Response (ISR), resulting in decreased translation of ATF4 mRNA, discordant gene regulation of shared targets of MYC and ATF4 and, ultimately, apoptosis. Re-establishing ATF4 protein expression rescues the diminished viability due to loss of MondoA expression or activity, providing direct evidence of a link between deregulated MYC and the transcriptional machinery of the ISR. Lastly, we find that small-molecule inhibition of MondoA is lethal in a subset of PDAC cell lines, including patient-derived organoids, suggesting that the ability to target MYC via chemical inhibition of MondoA transcriptional activity may have broad efficacy.
