The acetyl-transferase Tip60 might influence tumorigenesis in multiple ways1. First, Tip60 is a co-regulator of transcription factors that either promote or suppress tumorigenesis, such as Myc and p532, 3, 4. Second, Tip60 modulates DNA-damage response (DDR) signalling1, and a DDR triggered by oncogenes can counteract tumour progression5, 6. Using E–myc transgenic mice that are heterozygous for a Tip60 gene (Htatip) knockout allele (hereafter denoted as Tip60+/– mice), we show that Tip60 counteracts Myc-induced lymphomagenesis in a haplo-insufficient manner and in a time window that is restricted to a pre- or early-tumoral stage. Tip60 heterozygosity severely impaired the Myc-induced DDR7, 8, 9 but caused no general DDR defect in B cells. Myc- and p53-dependent transcription were not affected, and neither were Myc-induced proliferation, activation of the ARF–p53 tumour suppressor pathway or the resulting apoptotic response10, 11, 12, 13. We found that the human TIP60 gene (HTATIP) is a frequent target for mono-allelic loss in human lymphomas and head-and-neck and mammary carcinomas, with concomitant reduction in mRNA levels. Immunohistochemical analysis also demonstrated loss of nuclear TIP60 staining in mammary carcinomas. These events correlated with disease grade and frequently concurred with mutation of p53. Thus, in both mouse and human, Tip60 has a haplo-insufficient tumour suppressor activity that is independent from—but not contradictory with—its role within the ARF–p53 pathway1, 2, 3, 14, 15, 16. We suggest that this is because critical levels of Tip60 are required for mounting an oncogene-induced DDR in incipient tumour cells5, 6, the failure of which might synergize with p53 mutation towards tumour progression17, 18, 19, 20.
