Genome-wide binding analysis unveils critical implication of B-Myb-mediated transactivation in cancers
B-Myb, also known as MYB proto-oncogene like 2 (MYBL2), is an important transcription factor implicated in transcription regulation, cell cycle and tumorigenesis. However, the molecular mechanism underlying B-Myb-controlled transactivation in different cell contexts as well as its functional implication in cancers remains elusive. In this study, we have conducted a comprehensive genome-wide analysis of B-Myb binding sites in multiple immortalized or cancer cell lines and identified its critical target genes. The results revealed that B-Myb regulates a common set of core cell cycle genes and cell type-specific genes through collaboration with other important transcription factors (e.g. NFY and MuvB complex) and binding to cell type-invariant promoters and cell type-specific enhancers and super-enhancers. KIF2C, UBE2C and MYC were further validated as B-Myb target genes. Loss-of-function analysis demonstrated that KIF2C knockdown inhibited tumor cell growth both in vitro and in vivo, suppressed cell motility and cell cycle progression, accompanied with defects in microtubule organization and mitosis, strongly suggesting that KIF2C is a critical regulator of cancer cell growth and mitosis, and maintains high cancer cell motility ability and microtubule dynamics. Pan-cancer transcriptomic analysis revealed that the overexpression of both B-Myb and KIF2C presents as independent prognostic markers in various types of cancer. Notably, B-Myb associates with NFYB, binds to target gene promoters, enhancers and super-enhancers, and provokes a cascade of oncogenic gene expression profiles in cancers. Overall, our results highly suggest the critical implication of B-Myb-mediated gene regulation in cancers, and the promising therapeutic and prognostic potentials of B-Myb and KIF2C for cancer diagnosis and treatment.
