EHMT2 (G9a) activation in mantle cell lymphoma and its associated DNA methylation and gene expression.

Objective: The function of euchromatic histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2 (EHMT2) has been studied in several cancers; however, little is known about its role in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Thus, this study aimed to characterize the significance and function of EHMT2 in MCL.

Methods: EHMT2 expression in MCL and reactive hyperplasia (RH) were investigated by immunohistochemistry.

PRMT5 promotes progression of endometrioid adenocarcinoma via ERα and cell cycle signaling pathways.

Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) has previously been reported to be upregulated in many malignant tumors. This study investigated the significance of PRMT5 in endometrial carcinoma (EC) and explored its function in tumorigenesis. Immunohistochemistry was performed to evaluate PRMT5 expression in 62 EC and 66 endometrial hyperplasia samples.

The clinicopathological and genetic features of ovarian diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Ovarian lymphoma, whether a primary or secondary condition, is very rare. Little is known about its genetic aberrations. Here, we reviewed the clinical, morphological and immunohistochemical characteristics of nine ovarian diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cases and performed fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) analysis to detect MYC, BCL2 and BCL6 translocations.
