Working mechanism of JMJD6 in MYC-driven neuroblastoma.

Overactive MYC drives high-load of gene transcription, enhanced protein synthesis, and high rate of metabolism, leading to detrimental cellular stresses and consequent cell death (Model A). However, when 17q is amplified, high levels of JMJD6 and other proteins encoded by 17q genes physically interact with the splicing and translational machineries, enhancing pre-mRNA splicing of metabolic genes such as glutaminase (GLS) and inhibiting global protein synthesis, respectively, leading to reduced detrimental stresses and enhanced cancer cell survival and tumorigenesis (Model B). The high levels of JMJD6 predicts high dependency of RBM39, which are more sensitive to indisulam treatment.
