For example, activation of another core protein component of PRC2, embryonic ectoderm development (EED), promotes the catalytic function of EZH2, resulting in increased levels of H3K27me3 in PC cells.33 In addition, other studies have demonstrated that H3K27me3 levels in cancer cells are decreased concomitant with the reduction in the expression of suppressor of zeste 12 (SUZ12 protein homolog, a core component of PRC2), inhibiting the development of HCC and GC.34,35. The gene discussed is EZH2; the disease is gastric cancer.
