Epigenetic Deregulation of the Histone Methyltransferase KMT5B Contributes to Malignant Transformation in Glioblastoma
10 Aug 2021
Abstract excerpt
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive type of brain tumor in adulthood. Epigenetic mechanisms are known to play a key role in GBM although the involvement of histone methyltransferase KMT5B and its mark H4K20me2 has remained largely unexplored. The present study shows that DNA hypermethylation and loss of DNA hydroxymethylation is associated with KMT5B downregulation and genome-wide...
