Table 2 The SWI/SNF complex affects cancer development by regulating oncogene expression

From: Linking long non-coding RNAs and SWI/SNF complexes to chromatin remodeling in cancer

SWI/SNF

Interaction of SWI/SNF with oncogene

Cancer types/Phenotypes

Refs

BRG1

BRG1 promotes myc transcription and maintenance of oncogenic programming.

Leukemia

[52]

BRG1

BRG1 directly recruits to the MAX (myc-associated factor X gene) promoter and regulates the expression of MAX.

Lung cancer

[54]

SNF5/INI1

SNF5/INI1 interacts with c-myc and recruits the SWI/SNF complex, which contributes to the transcription of MYC target genes.

Apoptosis

[50]

BAF250A

BAF250A subunit directly inhibits the expression of MYC.

Differentiation associated cell cycle arrest

[51]

BAF155

Methylated BAF155 recruited to MYC target gene, GADD45A.

Breast cancer progression and metastasis

[49]

BRG1

BRG1 inactivating mutation may cooperate with KRAS mutation during carcinogenesis.

Lung Cancer

[57]

BRM, BRG1, hSNF5, BAF250A

The RAS inhibitor RasGAP1 can inhibit the BRM, knockdown SWI/SNF members BRM, BRG1, hSNF5 and BAF250A, and decrease the active KRAS

Colon cancer cell

[56]

BRG1

BRG1 inactivating mutation cooperates with oncogenic KRAS and promote the progression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

[59]

SNF5

SNF5 can bind and activate the tumor repressor INK4A/ARF, which is in response to oncogene KRAS, indicating that the function of SWI/SNF link to oncogene KRAS.

Lung tumor
