Enhancing Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Radiotherapy via EZH2-Targeted Nanoplatform and Radionuclide Therapy. (PubMed, Mol Pharm)
A cancer cell membrane (CCm)-camouflaged nanoplatform (CCm-HSA-Taz) was engineered to encapsulate the EZH2 inhibitor Tazemetostat (Taz), enabling tumor-targeted delivery...Nuclear medicine imaging revealed reduced tumor glucose metabolism and improved immune cell cytotoxicity. Utilizing components approved by the FDA suggests the potential for this strategy to be translated into clinical settings.

EZH2 Inhibition in Mesothelioma Cells Increases the Release of Extracellular Vesicles That Skew Neutrophils Toward a Protumor Phenotype. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
Moreover, we observed changes in the EV cargo derived from EZH2 inhibitor-treated spheroids. Our findings highlight the significant role of EVs in creating an immunosuppressive microenvironment, and underscore the urgent need for further investigation into the regulation of neutrophil biology and function in the PM.

Cytopathologic and histopathologic characteristics of SMARCB1 deficient neoplasm and correlation with molecular and immunohistochemical findings. (PubMed, Hum Pathol)
The ancillary testing of SMARCB1 (INI-1) should be considered in a subset of patients whose tumor demonstrates bizarre cytomorphology, especially in poorly differentiated or markedly pleomorphic tumors. The cytological recognition is critical for appropriate management.

EZH2-mediated hypermethylation of H3K27me3 downregulates claudin-4 and upregulates the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis. (PubMed, Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Cell Res)
This leads to increased levels of Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and vimentin, enhancing the invasion, migration, and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. However, inhibiting EZH2 with tazemetostat subsequently enhanced claudin-4 expression by reducing Wnt/β-catenin signaling activity and inhibiting EMT-inducing factors.

Characterizing resistance in prostate cancer at a single cell level with hormonal treatment and epigenetic inhibitors. (PubMed, J Pharm Pharmacol)
This work characterizes at a single-cell level the Enzalutamide resistant clone and the impact of epigenetic inhibitors on resistance development. This characterization may enable the identification of resistant and non-resistant cells by their gene expression profile.

EZH2-Mediated PTEN Silencing Promotes AKT-Dependent Afatinib Resistance in Radiation-Resistant Cervical Cancer Cells. (PubMed, J Clin Med)
EZH2 (Dznep; tazemetostat), PI3K, and AKT inhibitors were tested in combination with afatinib. EZH2-driven PTEN suppression promotes AKT-dependent afatinib resistance in radiation-resistant cervical cancer. Targeting the EZH2-PTEN-AKT axis may provide a potential therapeutic approach to mitigate combined radioresistance and chemoresistance in recurrent cervical cancer, although further preclinical and clinical validation is required.

Targeting EZH2 reverses thyroid cell dedifferentiation and enhances iodide uptake in anaplastic thyroid cancer. (PubMed, FEBS Lett)
Pharmacological inhibition of EZH2 with EPZ6438 reactivated TDG expression in RAS and BRAF-mutated ATC cell lines and partially restored iodide uptake...Impact statement This study reveals how EZH2-driven epigenetic remodeling controls thyroid cell dedifferentiation and loss of iodide uptake in anaplastic thyroid cancer. Our findings provide new mechanistic insights and highlight an FDA-approved drug with repurposing potential, advancing both anaplastic thyroid cancer biology research and therapeutic perspectives.
