    Study investigated super-enhancer profiles in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) and identified a novel subtype in which SOX2 and a neural transcription factor BRN2 have key roles in determining its distinctive differentiation state. BRN2 serves as an interacting partner for SOX2 in this novel subtype, instead of p63 in the classical subtype of LUSC.

    BRN2 also suppresses an apoptosis-associated gene expression program to protect against UVB-, chemotherapy- and vemurafenib-induced apoptosis. Remarkably, BRN2 expression also correlates with a high single-nucleotide variation prevalence in human melanomas

    BRN2 suppresses apoptosis, reprograms DNA damage repair, and is associated with a high somatic mutation burden in melanoma.
