Increased EZH2 expression during the adenoma‑carcinoma sequence in colorectal cancer
31 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
The adenoma-carcinoma sequence, the sequential mutation and deletion of various genes by which colorectal cancer progresses, is a well-established and accepted concept of colorectal cancer carcinogenesis. Proteins of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) function as transcriptional repressors by trimethylating histone H3 at lysine 27; the activity of this complex is essential for cell proliferation and...
