The role of PHF19 in promoting H3K27me3 deposition in multiple myeloma (ChIP-seq)
We here report a PRC2-associated cofactor, PHD finger protein 19 (PHF19, also known as Polycomb-like 3), as a crucial mediator of tumorigenicity in multiple myeloma (MM). Using various MM models, we demonstrated a critical requirement of PHF19 for tumor growth in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, PHF19-mediated oncogenic effect relies on its PRC2-interacting and chromatin-binding functions. ChIP-Seq profiling showed a critical role for PHF19 in maintaining the H3K27me3 landscape. PHF19 depletion led to loss of broad H3K27me3 domains possibly due to impaired H3K27me3 spreading from CpG islands Overall design: Examination of the genome-wide binding of H3K27me3 in the L-363 multiple myeloma cell line before and after knockdown of PHF19
