The components of the Switch/Sucrose non-fermentable (SWI/SNF) complex are mutated in approximately 20% of human cancers. The A/T-rich interacting domain 1A (ARID1A) subunit has one of the highest mutation rates. Most notably, ARID1A is mutated in over 50% of ovarian clear cell carcinomas (OCCCs). We reported that inhibition of enhancer of zeste homology 2 (EZH2) is synthetically lethal in ARID1A-mutated OCCC.
在大约20%的人类癌症中,开关/蔗糖非发酵(SWI/SNF)复合体的组件发生了突变。富含A/T的相互作用结构域1A(ARID1A)亚基的突变率最高。最值得注意的是,超过50%的卵巢透明细胞癌(OCCC)中ARID1A发生了突变。我们报道,在ARID1A突变的OCCC中,抑制zeste同源物2(EZH2)增强子具有合成致死性。
