Histone methyltransferase G9a promotes liver cancer development by epigenetic silencing of tumor suppressor gene RARRES3

Graphical abstract Deregulation of G9a in human HCC. G9a was frequently up-regulated in human HCC and implicated in HCC tumorigenesis and metastasis. The frequent up-regulation of G9a in human HCC was attributed to gene copy number gain at 6p21 and loss of miR-1. The oncogenic function of G9a was at...

Zusammenfassung:Graphical abstract Deregulation of G9a in human HCC. G9a was frequently up-regulated in human HCC and implicated in HCC tumorigenesis and metastasis. The frequent up-regulation of G9a in human HCC was attributed to gene copy number gain at 6p21 and loss of miR-1. The oncogenic function of G9a was at least partially attributed to the epigenetic silencing of tumor suppressor RARRES3.
