    Abstract: The present invention provides a reconstituted complex including EED, EZH2 and SUZ12 wherein the reconstituted complex has histone methyltransferase (HMTase) activity for lysine 27 of histone H3 (H3-K27). The reconstituted complex may further include RbAp48, AEBP2 or both. Also disclosed are methods of producing the reconstituted complex, methods of identifying compounds that inhibit the HTMase activity of the reconstituted complex and methods of identifying candidate compounds for treating cancer. Reagents and kits including the reconstituted complex are further provided.

    Abstract: Objective methods for detecting or diagnosing cancer, or determining a predisposition for developing cancer, particularly lung cancer, cervical cancer, bladder cancer, esophageal cancer, osteosarcoma, prostate cancer and soft tissue tumor, are described herein. In one embodiment, the diagnostic method involves determining an expression level of the SUV39H2 gene. The present invention further provides methods of screening for candidate substances useful in the treatment and/or prevention of an SUV39H2-associated cancer, such as lung cancer, cervical cancer, bladder cancer, esophageal cancer, osteosarcoma, prostate cancer and soft tissue tumor. The present invention further provides methods of inhibiting the cell growth and thereby treating or alleviating symptoms of an SUV39H2 associated cancer. The present invention also features double-stranded molecules against the SUV39H2 gene and vectors encoding thereof as well as compositions containing such components and their utility in connection with the treatment and prevention of an SUV39H2-associated cancer.

    Abstract translation: 本文描述了用于检测或诊断癌症或确定发展癌症,特别是肺癌,子宫颈癌,膀胱癌,食管癌,骨肉瘤,前列腺癌和软组织肿瘤的倾向的客观方法。 在一个实施方案中,诊断方法包括确定SUV39H2基因的表达水平。 本发明还提供了筛选用于治疗和/或预防SUV39H2相关癌症(例如肺癌,子宫颈癌,膀胱癌,食管癌,骨肉瘤,前列腺癌和软组织肿瘤)的候选物质的方法。 本发明还提供了抑制细胞生长,从而治疗或减轻SUV39H2相关癌症症状的方法。 本发明还具有针对SUV39H2基因的双链分子及其编码载体以及含有这些组分的组合物及其与治疗和预防SUV39H2相关癌症有关的用途。
