Abstract
Recently, we have generated 284 epigenomic maps in melanoma. Using chromatin state profiling we identify an association of NRAS-mutants with bivalent Histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) and broad H3K4me3 domains. Reprogramming of bivalent H3K27me3 occurs on critical invasive-regulators and its resolution using Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2 (EZH2) inhibition reduces invasive capacity and tumor burden in NRAS-mutant patient samples.
期刊介绍：
For a long time, solid neoplasms have been viewed as relatively homogeneous entities composed for the most part of malignant cells. It is now clear that tumors are highly heterogeneous structures that evolve in the context of intimate interactions between cancer cells and endothelial, stromal as well as immune cells. During the past few years, experimental and clinical oncologists have witnessed several conceptual transitions of this type. Molecular and Cellular Oncology (MCO) emerges within this conceptual framework as a high-profile forum for the publication of fundamental, translational and clinical research on cancer. The scope of MCO is broad. Submissions dealing with all aspects of oncogenesis, tumor progression and response to therapy will be welcome, irrespective of whether they focus on solid or hematological neoplasms. MCO has gathered leading scientists with expertise in multiple areas of cancer research and other fields of investigation to constitute a large, interdisciplinary, Editorial Board that will ensure the quality of articles accepted for publication. MCO will publish Original Research Articles, Brief Reports, Reviews, Short Reviews, Commentaries, Author Views (auto-commentaries) and Meeting Reports dealing with all aspects of cancer research.
