[Research Progress of Expression and Clinical Significant of EZH2 in Hematological Malignancies--Review].

Enhancer of zeste homolog 2(EZH2) is a histone methyltransferase which regulate gene expression through epigenetic machinery. The abnormal expression of EZH2 has been described in many cancer types. With in-depth study, it was found that EZH2 is involved in the occurrence and development in many kinds of malignant hematologic disease which may play a dual role of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. In recent years, the emergence of EZH2 inhibitors provide a new option for the future treatment of hematological malignancies. In this review, the expression and clinical significance of EZH2 in various of hematological tumors were summarized briefly.
