Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of Sox-2 regulatory region which is under the control of Oct-3/4-Sox-2 complex.

TL;DR: The regulatory regions of the Sox-2 gene are analyzed and two enhancers which stimulate transcription in ES cells as well as in embryonal carcinoma cells are identified which are able to stimulate transcription through the SRR2 element.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dependency on the polycomb gene Ezh2 distinguishes fetal from adult hematopoietic stem cells

TL;DR: It is shown that Ezh2, a core component of PRC2, is essential for fetal, but not adult, HSCs, and that the reinforcement of PcG-mediated gene silencing occurs during the transition from proliferative fetal Hscs to quiescent adult H SCs.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Polycomb Gene Product BMI1 Contributes to the Maintenance of Tumor-Initiating Side Population Cells in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

TL;DR: An important role is defined for BMI1 in the maintenance of tumor-initiating SP cells in HCC and it is suggested that BMI1 might be a novel therapeutic target for the eradication of cancer stem cells inHCC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ezh2 augments leukemogenicity by reinforcing differentiation blockage in acute myeloid leukemia

TL;DR: It is suggested that Ezh2 inhibits differentiation programs in leukemic stem cells, thereby augmenting their leukemogenic activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Concurrent loss of Ezh2 and Tet2 cooperates in the pathogenesis of myelodysplastic disorders

TL;DR: Deletion of Ezh2 results in transcriptional repression of developmental regulator genes, derepression of oncogenic polycomb targets, and induction of MDS/MPN-like disease in mice that is exacerbated by concurrent deletion of Tet2.
