Ablation of <i>Ezh2</i> in neural crest cells leads to Hirschsprung's disease-like phenotype in mice
2018-02-15
Abstract excerpt
In the current study, we examined the role of Ezh2 as an epigenetic modifier for the enteric neural crest cell development through H3K27me3. Ezh2 conditional null mice were viable up to birth, but died within the first hour of life. In addition to craniofacial defects, Ezh2 conditional null mice displayed reduced number of ganglion cells in the enteric nervous system. RT-PCR and ChIP assays indicated aberrant u...
