Moreover, suppression of MYC levels in MM cells via targeting the master regulator BRD4 by either siRNA-mediated knockdown or treatment with the novel proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) MZ-1 overcame bone marrow (BM) stroma cell/IL-6-induced MYC- but not MEK-dependent JUNB-upregulation and transcriptional activity. This evidence concerns the gene JUNB and Miyoshi myopathy.
