Accumulation of Malignant Renal Stem Cells Is Associated with Epigenetic Changes in Normal Renal Progenitor Genes
8 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
Recent studies indicate a dual epigenetic role of the Polycomb group (PcG) proteins in self-renewal of stem cells and oncogenesis. Their elevation in our previous human kidney microarray screen led us examine whether they participate in processes involving normal and malignant renal progenitors. We therefore analyzed the expression of the PcG genes (EZH2, BMI-1, EED, SUZ12) in relation to that of the...
