Hence, increased MYC expression seems to be responsible for progression from MGUS to MM. Complex translocations involving MYC (c-MYC≫N-MYC>L-MYC) appear to be secondary progression events that often do not involve Ig loci [32]. They are rare or absent in MGUS, but occur in 15 % of newly diagnosed tumors, 50 % of advanced tumors, and 90 % of HMCLs [11, 33]. A recent report suggests that a small molecule inhibitor of BRD4 can inhibit MYC RNA expression in MM, with therapeutic effect [34]. , in t(11;14) tumors) [35].
5) [43] and most likely contributing to extramedullary spread of the disease. Interestingly, the NFKB negative regulator TRAF3 located on 14q32 is inactivated in >10 % MM tumors, suggesting that at least in the presence of RAS/BRAF compensating mutation there may be an advantage for t(4;14) MM to lose the der(14) containing FGFR3 in favor of activating the NFKB pathway. Fc, IKKβ, and NIK (MAP3K14)) are being developed as potential therapeutic agents [47, 48]. There is also some evidence suggesting that cells addicted to constitutive NFKB activation may be particularly sensitive to proteasome inhibition [46].
