Loss of Ezh2 in the presence of activating mutation in JAK2 (JAK2V617F) cooperatively alters transcriptional programs of hematopoiesis, activates specific oncogenes, and promotes the development of… Expand
Dual Inhibition of EZH2 and EZH1 Sensitizes PRC2-Dependent Tumors to Proteasome Inhibition
Purpose: EZH2 and EZH1, the catalytic components of polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), trigger trimethylation of H3K27 (H3K27me3) to repress the transcription of target genes and are implicated in… Expand
Ezh2 loss in hematopoietic stem cells predisposes mice to develop heterogeneous malignancies in an Ezh1-dependent manner.
