Abstract

MYC is implicated in the development and progression of Pancreatic cancer, yet the precise level of MYC deregulation required to contribute to tumour development has been difficult to define. We used modestly elevated expression of human MYC, driven from the Rosa26 locus, to investigate the pancreatic phenotypes arising in mice from an approximation of MYC trisomy. We show that this level of MYC alone suffices to drive pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours, and to accelerate progression of KRAS-initiated precursor lesions to metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Our phenotype exposed suppression of the Type I Interferon pathway by the combined actions of MYC and KRAS and we present evidence of repressive MYC/MIZ1 complexes binding directly to the promoters of type I Interferon regulators IRF5, IRF7, STAT1 and STAT2. De-repression of Interferon regulators allows pancreatic tumour infiltration of B and NK cells, resulting in increased survival.
