Genome-wide chromatin accessibility change after PRC2 inhibition by MAK683 treatment
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The methyltransferase Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2), composed of EZH2, SUZ12, and EED subunits, is associated with transcriptional repression via tri-methylation of histone H3 on lysine 27 residue (H3K27me3). PRC2 is a validated drug target, as the EZH2 gain-of-function mutations identified in patient samples drive tumorigenesis. PRC2 inhibitors have been discovered and demonstrated anti-cancer efficacy in clinic. However, their pharmacological mechanisms are poorly understood. MAK683 is a potent EED inhibitor in clinical development. The overall goal of our study is to understand the molecular events leading to tumor regression after PRC2 inhibition. Our study revealed that multiple senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) genes, such as Gata4, Mmp2/10, Itga2 and Gbp1, are derepressed upon PRC2 inhibition and contribute to decreased Ki67+, ECM reorganization, inflammation and tumor regression even in Cdkn2a/p16 knockout tumor.
