Prognostic Value of Polycomb Proteins EZH2, BMI1 and SUZ12 and Histone Modification H3K27me3 in Colorectal Cancer
Numerous changes in epigenetic mechanisms have been described in various types of tumors. In search for new biomarkers, we investigated the expression of Polycomb-group (PcG) proteins EZH2, BMI1 and SUZ12 and associated histone modification H3K27me3 in colorectal cancer. Nuclear expression of PcG proteins and histone modification H3K27me3 were immunohistochemically (IHC) stained on a tissue mic...
متن کاملHDAC inhibitors repress the polycomb protein BMI1
2704 Cell Cycle Volume 9 Issue 14 Several studies recently unveiled the involvement of the Polycomb group (PcG) proteins, most notably Bmi-1 and EZH2, in the occurrence of various human cancers and maintenance of the invasive phenotype. The PcG proteins are typically involved in the transcriptional silencing of their target genes through epigenetic mechanisms resulting in chromatin compaction. ...
متن کاملThe molecular mechanisms of arsenic-induced cell transformation and apoptosis.
Arsenic is a well-documented human carcinogen associated with cancers of the skin, lung, liver, and bladder. Interestingly, arsenic has also been used as an effective chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of certain human cancers. However, the mechanisms by which arsenic induces proliferation of cancer cells or cancer cell death are not well understood. We found that exposure of JB6 P+ cells ...
متن کاملThe Polycomb protein, Bmi1, regulates insulin sensitivity
OBJECTIVE The Polycomb Repressive Complexes (PRC) 1 and 2 function to epigenetically repress target genes. The PRC1 component, Bmi1, plays a crucial role in maintenance of glucose homeostasis and beta cell mass through repression of the Ink4a/Arf locus. Here we have explored the role of Bmi1 in regulating glucose homeostasis in the adult animal, which had not been previously reported due to poo...
متن کاملPolycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) suppresses Em-myc lymphoma
Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are global transcriptional repressors first identified in Drosophila as silencers of Hox genes during development. Subsequent genomewide studies showed that PcG proteins regulate genes involved in diverse cellular functions. PcG proteins exist in 2 distinct protein complexes called polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) and 2 (PRC2). Mammalian PRC1 components include...
