MYCN mediates cysteine addiction and sensitizes to ferroptosis

Overexpression of MYC family members is linked to poor clinical outcome in many human cancers. These oncoproteins drive proliferation, alter metabolism, and mediate an antioxidant response to maintain tumor cell redox balance. However, to date, there are no effective inhibitors that specifically target MYC-amplified tumors. We demonstrate that MYCN-amplified, aggressive childhood neuroblastoma cells undergo ferroptotic cell death in vivo in the absence of intracellular cysteine, thus implicating...
