Abstract excerpt
Three distinct proliferative signals for multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines induce enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (ezh 2) transcript expression. EZH 2 is a polycomb group protein that mediates repression of gene transcription at the chromatin level through its methyltransferase activity. Normal bone marrow plasma cells do not express ezh2; however, gene expression is induced and correlates with tumor burden during...
