Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Small cell carcinoma of the ovary-hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT) is a rare ovarian cancer affecting young females and is driven by the loss of both SWI/SNF ATPases SMARCA4 and SMARCA2. As loss of SWI/SNF alters enhancers, we hypothesized that super-enhancers, which regulate oncogene expression in cancer, are disparately impacted by SWI/SNF loss. We discovered differences between SWI/SNF occupancy at enhancers vs. super-enhancers. SCCOHT super-enhancer target genes were enriched in developmental processes, most notably nervous system development. This may further support neuronal cell-of-origin previously proposed. We found high sensitivity of SCCOHT cell lines to triptolide. Triptolide inhibits expression of many super-enhancer-associated genes, including oncogenes. SALL4 expression is decreased by triptolide and is highly expressed in SCCOHT tumors. In patient-derived xenograft models, triptolide and prodrug minnelide effectively inhibit tumor growth. These results reveal unique features of super-enhancers in SCCOHT, which may be one mechanism through which triptolide has high activity in these tumors.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
