  • Introduction: Super-enhancers are large clusters of regulatory elements bound by bromodomain proteins. BET inhibitors block the interaction between BRD4 and these super-enhancers, resulting in suppression of oncogene transcription
  • Methods: This study combines transcriptomic data from JQ1-treated prostate cancer cell lines and clinical mCRPC samples to identify super-enhancer-regulated gene networks
  • Results: Functional enrichment analysis was performed pinpointed central hub genes within the SE-DEG nerwork
  • Conclusion: We present a systems biology framework that identifies MIR1204 and MIR4461 in a super-enhancer-regulated network driving prostate cancer metastasis
