Project description:Epidermal hyperplasia, a characteristic feature of psoriatic skin lesions, is epigenetically driven by Enhancer of Zeste homolog 2 (EZH2). EZH2 and EZH2-mediated trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3) are both abnormally upregulated in psoriatic lesions. To identify microRNAs that could potentially target these epigenetic regulators we profiled miRNAs from psoriatic lesional skin in comparison with healthy skin. Analysis of the differentially expressed miRNAs revealed miR-101, as one of the most significant miRNA, consistently downregulated in psoriatic lesions compared to the healthy skin. A clear inverse correlation in the expression of miR-101 versus EZH2 was apparent in normal skin versus psoriatic lesional skin indicating that EZH2 is a potential target of miR-101, which was further confirmed by luciferase assay. Investigating the upstream effectors of the miR-101- EZH2 pathway in psoriasis, we identified the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-17 as regulator of miR-101 expression. Here we propose a model, depicting a pathway triggered by IL-17 – mediated modulation of miR-101 expression, which in turn elicit sustained expression of EZH2, leading to enhanced keratinocyte proliferation and epidermal hyperplasia in psoriasis. Taken together, this indicates that miR-101 is a potential therapeutic target to alleviate the downstream effects of IL-17 mediated epidermal hyperplasia in psoriasis.

Project description:Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2 (EZH2) is a histone methyltransferase that catalyzes the trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3). EZH2 expression is significantly upregulated in MPNST. In our study, we investigated the function of EZH2 and the molecular mechanisms that are regulated by EZH2 in MPNST pathogenesis. Our findings enhance the knowledge of EZH2’s function and biology, and have the potential to provide a novel therapeutic approach for MPNST patients in the clinic. An EZH2 knockdown experiment was carried out in MPNST cells. There are one control and one siEZH2 samples for three cell lines (724,462,26T) and two repeats for each cell line, so in total there are 8 samples. Two group comparison Two group comparison

Project description:To understand molecular mechanisms driving HB pathogenesis, we hypothesize that pathologic activation of Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2 contributes to hepatoblastoma propagation. Here we demonstrate that EZH2 promotes proliferation in HB cell lines through interaction with β-catenin, the most frequently mutated gene in HB. We demonstrate that canonical and noncanonical EZH2 signaling occur in HB tumor cells, likely driven by aberrant EZH2 expression. We use comparison groups of liver cancer, hepatocytes, and dermal fibroblasts to establish the hepatoblastoma identity of our patient-derived cell lines.

Project description:The Polycomb group (PcG) protein enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) plays an essential role in histone methylation-mediated epigenetic gene silencing. We demonstrate that under physiological conditions, cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) and 2 (CDK2) bind to and phosphorylate EZH2 at threonine 350 (T350) in an evolutionally conserved motif. T350 phosphorylation is required for EZH2 function in silencing of genes that promote differentiation and inhibit proliferation and migration. Blockage of T350 phosphorylation by generating a T350A mutation largely diminishes the global effect of EZH2 on gene silencing. Seven experiments have been designed. LNCaP cells were transfected with si-Control, si-EZH2, si-EZH2 plus RNAi resistant EZH2 plasmid, or si-EZH2 plus RNAi resistant T350A mutated EZH2 plsamid for 60 hours, or treated with DMSO, 5 uM TSA, or 10 uM Roscovitine for 24 hours. Two replicates per experiment.

BJ cells were transfected with si-Control, si-EZH2, si-EZH2 plus RNAi resistant lentivirus expressed EZH2, or si-EZH2 plus RNAi resistant lentivirus expressed T350A mutant for 60 hours. Each experiment was triplicated.

Project description:Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) has a poor prognosis and adverse clinical outcomes among all breast cancer subtypes as there is no available targeted therapy. Overexpression of Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) has been shown to correlate with TNBC's poor prognosis, but the contribution of EZH2 catalytic (H3K27me3) versus non-catalytic EZH2 (NC-EZH2) function in TNBC progression remains elusive. We reveal that selective hyper-activation of functional EZH2 (H3K27me3) over NC-EZH2 alters TNBC metastatic landscape and fosters its peritoneal metastasis, particularly splenic. Instead of H3K27me3-mediated repression of gene expression; here, it promotes KRT14 transcription by attenuating binding of repressor Sp1 to its promoter. Further, KRT14 loss significantly reduces TNBC migration, invasion, and peritoneal metastasis. Consistently, human TNBC metastasis displays positive correlation between H3K27me3 and KRT14 levels. Finally, EZH2 knockdown or H3K27me3 inhibition by EPZ6438 reduces TNBC peritoneal metastasis. Altogether, our preclinical findings suggest a rationale for targeting TNBC with EZH2 inhibitors.
