We have identified three groups of genes whose expressions are distinctly regulated during this process. One cluster (Cluster A) revealed a VP-16-dependent but Myc-independent induction of a set of genes that is not linked to the apoptotic response. Two other gene clusters, however, were associated with VP-16-induced apoptosis. Cluster B, which includes p53-responsive genes, was associated with the temporal onset of apoptosis but accounted for only the basal apoptosis. However, Cluster C, which includes c-jun, was highly regulated by Myc and appeared to be critical to mounting the maximal apoptotic response in Myc-expressing cells. Furthermore, the Myc level dropped sharply following VP-16 exposure, which varied inversely with the induction of Cluster C genes, suggesting Myc normally represses their transcription. Thus, we have proposed that removal of Myc-mediated repression of apoptotic signals, combined with Myc-associated acceleration of the p53 responsive pathway, results in complete and rapid cell death following DNA damage. | Source Title: | Journal of Biological Chemistry | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/132531 | ISSN: | 00219258 | DOI: | 10.1074/jbc.M111403200 |
