Overexpression of FoxM1 offers a promising therapeutic target in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
BACKGROUND FoxM1 has been shown to play a critical role in the pathogenesis of various epithelial malignancies. However, its role in lymphoid malignancies has not been fully clarified. We, therefore, investigated the role of FoxM1 expression in a large cohort of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma samples and panel of cell lines. DESIGN AND METHODS FoxM1 expression was investigated in a large serie...
متن کاملEZH2: novel therapeutic target for human cancer
Enhancer of Zeste homlog 2 (EZH2) is a catalytic subunit of epigenetic regulator Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), which trimethylates Lys 27 of histone H3, leading to silencing of the target genes that are involved in a variety of biological processes including tumor progression and stem cell maintenance. However, in addition to its canonical PRC2-dependent transcriptional repression funct...
متن کاملEZH2 in Bladder Cancer, a Promising Therapeutic Target.
Bladder Cancer (BC) represents a current clinical and social challenge. The recent studies aimed to describe the genomic landscape of BC have underscored the relevance of epigenetic alterations in the pathogenesis of these tumors. Among the epigenetic alterations, histone modifications occupied a central role not only in cancer, but also in normal organism homeostasis and development. EZH2 (Enh...
متن کاملEZH2 as a therapeutic target in solid tumors
Epigenetic alterations are an important hallmark of cancer, and the enzymes that modify histone tails have emerged as attractive drug targets. The histone methyltransferase EZH2 is the catalytic subunit of PRC2, a highly conserved protein complex that regulates gene expression by methylating lysine 27 on histone H3. EZH2 is frequently overexpressed in cancer, and oncogenic gain-of-function muta...

and similar software but a long sequence of consecutive tests is required.12 It might therefore be more effective if a less sensitive test was used in the first place. With the appearance of FASTPAC and other simple test programs it seems that computerised field analysis is approaching the performance of machines such as the venerable Friedmann visual field analyser. Is the emperor's new suit b...
