摘要:
Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigens 2 (EBNA2) mediated super-enhancers, defined by in silico data, localize near genes associated with B cell transcription factors including RUNX3. However, the biological function of superenhancer for RUNX3 gene (seR3) remains unclear. Here, we show that two seR3s, tandemly-located at 59and 70-kb upstream of RUNX3 transcription start site, named seR3 -59h and seR3 -70h, are required for RUNX3 expression and cell proliferation in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive malignant B cells. A BET bromodomain inhibitor, JQ1, potently suppressed EBV-positive B cell growth through the reduction of RUNX3 and MYC expression. Excision of either or both seR3s by employing CRISPR/Cas9 system resulted in the decrease in RUNX3 expression and the subsequent suppression of cell proliferation and colony forming capability. The expression of MYC was also reduced when seR3s were deleted, probably due to the loss of trans effect of seR3s on the super-enhancers for MYC. These findings suggest that seR3s play a pivotal role in expression and biological function of both RUNX3 and MYC. seR3s would serve as a potential therapeutic target in EBV-related widespread tumors.
