Interestingly, the synergistic inhibitory effects of hypermethylated E2F1 motif, histone modification H3K9ac and transcription factor E2F1 were primarily observed in cells originating from BRCA1-mutated breast cancer, but transformed cell lines (293 T) and non-mutated breast cancer were insensitive to the loss of H3K9ac and E2F1 enrichment around the E2F1 motif in the core promoter of DNMT1. This evidence concerns the gene E2F1 and breast carcinoma.
