Loss of Histone Methyltransferase Ezh2 Exacerbates Polarization of Macrophages toward M2-Like Phenotypes by Hepatocellular Carcinoma [ATAC-seq]
The roles of epigenetic regulator Ezh2 in TAMs of liver cancer still unclear. In this study, our results demonstrated that the absence of Ezh2 in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) exacerbated M2-like phenotypic changes upon incubation with conditioned media (CM) from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell line Hepa1-6. The ATAC-seq revealed that the promoter regions of pyruvate metabolic process-related genes were more accessible in treated BMDMs Ezh2 KO. Overall design: ATAC-seq profiling of bone marrow-derived macrophages WT and Ezh2 KO that treated with conditioned media of mouse liver cancer cell line Hepa1-6 for 24 hours.
