Expression changes in EZH2, but not in BMI-1, SIRT1, DNMT1 or DNMT3B are associated with DNA methylation changes in prostate cancer
1 Sept 2007
Abstract excerpt
The polycomb proteins BMI-1, EZH2, and SIRT1 are characteristic components of the PRC1, PRC2, and PRC4 repressor complexes, respectively, that modify chromatin. Moreover, EZH2 may influence DNA methylation by direct interaction with DNA methyltransferases. EZH2 expression increases during prostate cancer progression, whereas BMI-1 and SIRT1 are not well investigated. Like EZH2 expression, DNA methylation...
