Targeting NEUROD1 transcriptional coactivators may be an effective therapeutic approach, but such coactivators have yet to be defined. To identify NEUROD1 transcriptional coactivators, Chen and colleagues elucidated NEUROD1 genomic localization regions using ChIP-Seq and searched for colocalizing coactivator candidates using a ChIP-Seq database. The authors discovered that BRD4, a member of the bromodomain and extraterminal domain (BET) protein family, significantly colocalizes to NEUROD1-inhabited genomic regions. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments demonstrated that BRD4 and NEUROD1 interact, and treatment with BET inhibitors (BETi) decreases NEUROD1 target gene expression, suggesting BRD4 is a NEUROD1 transcriptional coactivator. Accordingly, the authors found that SCLC-N cells are more sensitive to BETi than are other SCLC subtype cells, and that BETi significantly slow SCLC-N patient-derived xenograft tumor growth in mouse models. Using a siRNA screen, the authors... You do not currently have access to this content.
