Article Title: The histone methyltransferase EZH2, an oncogene common to benign and malignant parathyroid tumors

doi: 10.1530/erc-13-0497

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 1 EZH2 mRNA and protein expression in hyperparathyroid tumors. (A) Real- time quantitative RT-PCR analysis of EZH2 in normal parathyroid tissues and parathyroid tumors. pHPT denotes parathyroid adenomas and sHPT secondary hyperplastic parathyroid glands. The relative expression level of the one normal parathyroid tissue that was obtained from glands inadvertently removed in conjunction with thyroid surgery was arbitrary set to 1.0. The four normal parathyroid gland biopsies from HPT patients displayed relative EZH2 expression levels of 0.8, 2.1, 2.2, and 3.1. (B) Western blotting analysis of EZH2. Tumors with relatively high mRNA levels (upper panel) or with mRNA levels in the normal range (lower panel). Samples no. 5, 7, 8, 14, and 15 displayed EZH2 gene amplification. (C) Immunohistochem- ical analysis of EZH2. Paraffin-embedded sections were stained using a rabbit MAB (two upper panels) or without primary antibody (lower panel right). Western blotting of the same specimens is also shown.

Article Title: The histone methyltransferase EZH2, an oncogene common to benign and malignant parathyroid tumors

doi: 10.1530/erc-13-0497

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 5 Summary of the results and possible mechanisms. EZH2 protein over- expression caused by EZH2 gene amplification and increased mRNA level or by indirect mechanisms such as EZH2 protein stability and by direct or indirect regulation of EZH2 gene expression by the c-Myc oncoprotein (Bjo¨ rklund et al. 2007b, Koh et al. 2011). Deregulated increased EZH2 protein level could result in activation of the Wnt/b-catenin signaling pathway by repression of AXIN2 (Cheng et al. 2011) and accumulation of transcriptionally active (nonphosphorylated) b-catenin, with increased expression of the b-catenin target gene CYCLIN D1 (Bjo¨ rklund et al. 2007a) and proliferation. Repression of the HIC1 tumor suppressor gene in parathyroid tumors involved EZH2 and H3K27 methylation (Svedlund et al. 2012).
