Polycomb and lung cancer: when the dosage makes the (kind of) poison

Item Type:Article
Title:Polycomb and lung cancer: when the dosage makes the (kind of) poison
Creators Name:Gargiulo, G. and Citterio, E. and Serresi, M.
Abstract:The Polycomb transcriptional repressors regulate normal tissue homeostasis and their function is often hijacked during oncogenesis. We recently uncovered the Polycomb repressive complex-2 (PRC2) genes Ezh2 and Eed as oncogenotype-dependent cancer genes. Notably, within the same oncogenotype, PRC2 dosage modulates lung tumor homeostasis and critically impacts non-tumor tissue function.
