In comparison, crotonate showed better blocking effect than EZH2 inhibitor tazemetostat in suppressing breast cancer metastasis. The combination of crotonate and anti-PD-L1 (programmed cell death ligand 1) antibody enhances responses of breast cancer cells to immunotherapy. Together, our findings indicate that crotonate is a promising anticancer drug candidate that suppresses breast cancer growth and metastasis by specifically inducing EZH2 degradation.

Despite the clinical success of tazemetostat, classical small-molecule inhibitors face limitations related to incomplete target occupancy, adaptive resistance, and non-catalytic EZH2 functions...Future directions focus on integrating novel ligases, proteome-wide selectivity mapping, and computational modeling to refine degradation efficiency and minimize off-target effects. Collectively, these developments explain a transformative therapeutic horizon where EZH2-targeting PROTACs are dignified to overcome the intrinsic limitations of enzyme inhibition, offering a new era of epigenetic cancer therapy through targeted protein degradation.
PBRM1 maintains chromatin accessibility for hepatocyte differentiation-related genes. Its loss promotes differentiation toward cholangiocytes during injury or tumorigenesis, driving iCCA development.
