Activation of <i>EZH2</i> and <i>SUZ12</i> Regulated by E2F1 Predicts the Disease Progression and Aggressive Characteristics of Bladder Cancer

Abstract

The link between E2F1, EZH2, and/or SUZ12 revealed that E2f1 directly regulates transcription of the EZH2 and SUZ12 genes. The signature of E2F1-EZH2-SUZ12 shows a predictive value for prognosis in bladder tumors and the E2F1-EZH2-SUZ12-driven transcriptional events may regulate the cancer aggressiveness and chemo-resistance, which may provide opportunity for development of new treatment modalities.
