PRC2 in Ewing tumors


ABSTRACT: We found the PRC2 component EZH2 to be upregulated by the pathognomonic fusion oncogene EWS-FLI1 in Ewing tumors and mesenchymal stem cells (Richter GH et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2009;106:5324-9). Downregulation of EZH2 by RNA interference in Ewing tumor cell lines suppressed oncogenic transformation in vitro and in vivo. These data suggest that EZH2 might play a central role in Ewing Tumor pathology. RNA from tumor samples was isolated with Trizol and subjected to microarray analysis using HG_U133A microarrays following the Affymetrix protocol. Ewing tumors vs. neuroblastoma controls

Chromatin modifications are increasingly recognized as a key mechanism in cancer. The histone methyltransferase Enhancer of Zeste, Drosophila, Homolog 2 (EZH2), the enzymatic subunit of the polycomb PRC2 complex methylates histone H3K27, thereby, mediating gene silencing. EZH2 is overexpressed in a variety of tumor tissue including breast and prostate. Ewing tumors (ET), alias peripheral neuroectodermal tumors (PNET), are highly malignant tumors molecularly defined by ews/ets translocations. We  ...[more]
