Effect of DOT1L inhibition on gene expression in SW1990 pancreatic cancer cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Histone methyltransferase DOT1L plays a critical role in the regulation of gene expression through methylation of histone H3 at lysine 79 (H3K79), a modification associated with active transcription. However, its function in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains incompletely understood. In this study, we investigated the transcriptional impact of DOT1L in SW1990 pancreatic cancer cells using EPZ-5676, a selective DOT1L inhibitor. Treatment with EPZ-5676 resulted in widespread transcriptional changes, indicating a key regulatory role of DOT1L in maintaining the gene expression profile of SW1990 cells. Through RNA-seq analysis, we identified differentially expressed genes between the untreated control and EPZ-5676-treated cells, implicating DOT1L in pathways involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, and tumor progression. These findings suggest that DOT1L-mediated H3K79 methylation contributes to the transcriptional landscape of pancreatic cancer cells and may represent a potential therapeutic target.
