TLDR
This paper showed that RHNO1 and FOXM1 are head-to-head (i.e., bidirectional) genes (BDG) regulated by a BDP (named F/R-BDP), which is a potential therapeutic approach for ovarian and other cancers.
Abstract
The FOXM1 transcription factor is an oncoprotein and a top biomarker of poor prognosis in human cancer. Overexpression and activation of FOXM1 is frequent in high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC), the most common and lethal form of human ovarian cancer, and is linked to copy number gains at chromosome 12p13.33. We show that FOXM1 is co-amplified and co-expressed with RHNO1, a gene involved in the ATR-Chk1 signaling pathway that functions in the DNA replication stress response. We demonstrate that FOXM1 and RHNO1 are head-to-head (i.e., bidirectional) genes (BDG) regulated by a bidirectional promoter (BDP) (named F/R-BDP). FOXM1 and RHNO1 each promote oncogenic phenotypes in HGSC cells, including clonogenic growth, DNA homologous recombination repair, and poly-ADP ribosylase inhibitor resistance. FOXM1 and RHNO1 are one of the first examples of oncogenic BDG, and therapeutic targeting of FOXM1/RHNO1 BDG is a potential therapeutic approach for ovarian and other cancers.

FOXM1: A Multifunctional Oncoprotein and Emerging Therapeutic Target in Ovarian Cancer.

TL;DR: Forkhead box M1 (FOXM1) is a member of the conserved forkhead box (FOX) transcription factor family and has been shown to promote critical oncogenic phenotypes in ovarian cancer, including cell proliferation, invasion and metastasis, chemotherapy resistance, cancer stem cell (CSC) properties, genomic instability and altered cellular metabolism as discussed by the authors.

The Pan-Cancer Multi-Omics Landscape of FOXO Family Relevant to Clinical Outcome and Drug Resistance

TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated the expression, prognostic value, mutation, methylation, and clinical features of four FOXO family genes (FOXO1, FOXO3,FOXO4, and FOXO6) in 33 types of cancers based on the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype Tissue Expression (GTEx) databases.

Spirocyclic dimer SpiD7 activates the unfolded protein response to selectively inhibit growth and induce apoptosis of cancer cells

TL;DR: In this article , a spirocyclic dimer, SpiD7, was identified and evaluated its effects on UPR activation signals, that is, XBP1 splicing, phosphorylation of eIF2α, and a decrease in ATF 6 levels, in normal and cancer cells, which were further confirmed by RNA-Seq analyses.

SOCS7/HuR/FOXM1 signaling axis inhibited high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma progression

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the functions and mechanisms of suppressors of cytokine signaling 7 (SOCS7) in HGSOC and found that SOCS7 acted as a suppressor by inhibiting cancer cell viability and tumor growth in vivo.

Targeting of mutant p53-induced FoxM1 with thiostrepton induces cytotoxicity and enhances carboplatin sensitivity in cancer cells

TL;DR: Novel evidence is provided that both amorphic and neomorphic mutations in TP53 contribute to FoxM1 overexpression and that FoxM 1 may be targeted for therapeutic benefits in cancers.

Olaparib-induced Adaptive Response Is Disrupted by FOXM1 Targeting that Enhances Sensitivity to PARP Inhibition.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated thatFOXM1 plays an important role in the adaptive response induced by olaparib and FOXM1 inhibition by thiostrepton induces “BRCAness” and enhances sensitivity to PARP inhibitors.

Copy Number Amplification of DNA Damage Repair Pathways Potentiates Therapeutic Resistance in Cancer.

TL;DR: DDR gene amplification can lead to chemotherapy resistance and poor overall survival by augmenting DDR, and these amplified DDR genes may serve as actionable clinical biomarkers for cancer management.
