PG - 253-259 LID - S0006-291X(16)31515-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.bbrc.2016.09.055 [doi] AB - Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2(EZH2), which can change chromatin structure by tri-methylation of the 27th lysine of H3 in nucleosome histone (H3K27me3), is involved in different types of cancers. However, the role and mechanism underlying aberrant EZH2 expression in laryngeal squamous cells carcinoma (LSCC) remain unclear. In the present study, we found that down-regulation of EZH2 and H3K27me3 in LSCC cells (Hep-2 and SCC10A) resulted in an mesenchymal-epithelial transition(MET) like cell morphology and lower invasion in vitro, weakened tumor growth, intrahepatic and pulmonary metastasis in vivo. Furthermore, EZH2 promoted the epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT) process through down-regulation of Ca(2+) dependent cell adhesion molecule E (E-cadherin) and up-regulation of H3K27me3 in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, E-cadherin was transcriptionally induced upon stable knockdown of EZH2, and quantitative chromatin immunoprecipitation(qChIP) analysis confirmed the depletion of H3K27me3 enrichment on E-cadherin promoter upon EZH2 knockdown in Hep-2 and SCC10A cells. In addition, the expression of EZH2 was positively correlated with that of H3K27me3 and both of them were inversely correlated with E-cadherin expression in human LSCC tissues. In summary, this study indicated that EZH2 promoted invasion and metastasis of LSCC via EMT through H3K27me3. CI - Copyright (c) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
