Bromodomain 4 inhibition leads to MYCN downregulation in Wilms' tumor cells

We have undertaken a functional genomics approach to uncover novel therapeutic strategies efficacious for those patients with anaplastic Wilms' tumor. Genomic analysis, in vitro chemical screens and microfluidic experiments demonstrate that MYCN over-expression in Wilms' tumor can be modulated via BRD4 inhibition resulting in a reduction in Wilms' tumor cell growth. Overall design: Transcriptome analysis, in vitro chemical screens and microfluidic experiments demonstrate that MYCN over-expression in Wilms' tumor can be modulated via BRD4 inhibition resulting in a reduction in Wilms' tumor cell growth.
