Yes, it is true that Methylation of EZH2 by PRMT1 regulates its stability and promotes breast cancer metastasis.

Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), a key histone methyltransferase and EMT inducer, is overexpressed in diverse carcinomas, including breast cancer.

However, the molecular mechanisms of EZH2 dysregulation in cancers are still largely unknown. Here, we discover that EZH2 is asymmetrically dimethylated at R342 (meR342-EZH2) by PRMT1.

meR342-EZH2 was found to inhibit the CDK1-mediated phosphorylation of EZH2 at T345 and T487, thereby attenuating EZH2 ubiquitylation mediated by the E3 ligase TRAF6.

We also demonstrate that meR342-EZH2 resulted in a decrease in EZH2 target gene expression, but an increase in breast cancer cell EMT, invasion and metastasis.

Moreover, we confirm the positive correlations among PRMT1, meR342-EZH2 and EZH2 expression in the breast cancer tissues. Finally, we report that high expression levels of meR342-EZH2 predict a poor clinical outcome in breast cancer patients.

Our findings may provide a novel diagnostic target and promising therapeutic target for breast cancer metastasis.

Why are the terms dominant and recessive misleading?

sleet_krkn [62]

They are misleading, because dominant alleles do not dominate or prevent recessive alleles from doing a job. Also, one allele can be considered dominant in one regard and recessive in another. It just depends on what you are trying to do with it.

Which food molecules are absorbed from the small intestine lumen into the lacteal, the lymphatic capillary located within the vi

Tamiku [17]

The food molecules that are absorbed from the small intestine lumen into the lacteal, the lymphatic capillary located within the villus would be the lipids. Most of the dietary lipids are neutral fat or the so-called triglyceride. These are composed of a glycerol backbone wherein each carbon is linked to a fatty acid. In the small intestine, the villi, microvilli and plicae circulares functions to increase the surface ares that is available for the absorption of the nutrients. Each of the villus consists of a network of capillaries and lymphatic vessels which are called the lacteals which is responsible for the absorption of lipids.
