MYC increases the amount of CDKN2A. 10 / 13

reach
"For example, while Myc binds to E-boxes of the p16 promoter and up-regulates p16 transcription, it has also been demonstrated that Myc can activate Bmi1, a potent repressor of the entire INK4b/ARF/INK4a locus."

reach
"These findings imply that let-7g might function as an inhibitor of HCC cell proliferation through direct repression of c-Myc, which may lead to re-expression of the tumor suppressor p16INK4A [XREF_BIBR]."

reach
"We have shown that the cyclin dependent kinase Cdk2, although redundant for cell cycle progression, has a unique role in suppressing a Myc induced senescence program : Myc activation elicited expression of p16 (INK4a) and p21 (Cip1), and caused senescence in cells lacking Cdk2, but not in Cdk2-proficient cells."

"studies showing that the ARF gene encoded by the tumor-suppressive gene locus, INK4A, is induced after expression of c-MYC or other mitogenic transcription factors, like E2F [33]. The authors suggest that activation of cell cycle deregulating genes is translated into activation of the ARF gene, which encodes a p53-stabilizing protein [34]. Consistent with this model, fibroblasts from ARF-/- mice are largely refractory to c-MYC-induced apoptosis"

reach
"XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR Furthermore, c-MYC has been reported to directly induce the expression of p19 and ARF, which also belongs to the INK4 locus."

reach
"For example, physiologic thresholds of Myc and Ras signaling do not activate Arf gene expression, but overexpression of Myc and oncogenic Ras induces Arf."

reach
"In these cell types, Myc induces the expression of p19 Arf, which, by inactivating Mdm2, helps to enhance p53 dependent apoptosis (Zindy et al., 1998)."

reach
"Oncogenic c-Myc can indirectly induce the expression of the tumor suppressor ARF, which leads to apoptosis through the stabilization of p53, but both c-Myc and ARF have apoptotic activities that are independent of p53."

reach
"In addition, both c-Myc and E2F-1 induce Arf expression."

reach
"For example, MYC induces the expression of the tumor suppressor ARF."
