Description

Guanli Liang and co-authors study a gene silencer that may slow colon cancer when dialed down in a 2023 lab paper. The gene, EZH2, helps switch other genes off and is often overactive in tumors. A partner gene, RUNX3, acts as a brake that EZH2 can suppress.

In two colon cancer cell lines, muting EZH2 lifted the brake gene and cut several cancer-linked markers. Cells grew, invaded, and spread less, while more of them died on cue. Key growth pathway proteins also fell. Grafts in mice echoed the dish results. The pathway named in the title carries the effect, the authors conclude.
