EZH2 and melanoma: We observed that increased expression levels of PTENP1-AS in BRAFi resistant cells associated with enrichment of EZH2 and H3K27me3 at the PTEN promoter, consequently reducing the expression levels of PTEN. Further, we showed that targeting of the PTENP1-AS transcript sensitized resistant cells to BRAFi treatment and that high expression of PTENP1-AS in stage III melanoma correlated with poor survival.
