Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for nearly 15% of all lung cancers. Although patients respond to first-line therapy readily, rapid relapse is inevitable, with few treatment options in the second-line setting. Here, we describe SCLC cell lines harboring amplification of MYC and MYCN, but not MYCL1 nor non-amplified MYC cell lines, exhibit superior sensitivity to treatment with the pan-BET bromodomain protein inhibitor Mivebresib (ABBV-075). Silencing MYC and MYCN partially rescued SCLC cell lines harboring these respective amplifications from the anti-proliferative effects of mivebresib. Further characterization of genome-wide binding of MYC, MYCN, and MYCL1 uncovered unique enhancer and epigenetic preferences. Implications: Our study suggests that chromatin landscapes could establish cell states with unique gene expression programs, conveying sensitivity to epigenetic inhibitors such as mivebresib.
