MTOR and cancer: In several cancer models, including multiple myelomas and glioblastomas, the G9a inhibitor BIX01294 targeting G9a induces cell proliferation inhibition and autophagy-associated apoptosis by inactivating the mTOR/4EBP1 pathway and transcriptionally reducing c-MYC levels.213–215 A genome-wide study illustrated that the interaction between MYC and G9a, with the MYC MBII region as the binding point, affects MYC’s capacity to drive transcriptional repression and tumorigenesis.
