In summary, KMT2B can up-regulate SNHG12 expression through the modification of H3K4me3 in the SNHG12 promoter region, which in turn recruits the transcription factor E2F1, and ultimately promotes expression of CEP55, and the proliferation, migration, and invasion of RCC cells, as well as the angiogenesis of HUVECs (Fig. 7). This evidence concerns the gene SNHG12 and renal cell carcinoma.
