Targeting protein synthesis pathways in MYC-amplified medulloblastoma by Devendra Kumar, Ranjana Kanchan, Nagendra K. Chaturvedi

“…Thus, inhibiting enhanced protein synthesis by targeting the MYC indirectly and mTOR pathways together may present a highly appropriate strategy for treating MYC-driven medulloblastoma and other MYC-addicted cancers. Evidence strongly proposes that MYC/mTOR-driven tumorigenic signaling can predominantly control the translational machinery to elicit cooperative effects on increased cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, and genome dysregulation as a mechanism of cancer initiation. …”
