Expression data of MLL-AF9-transformed murine leukemia progenitor cells, following treatment with UNC1999, a dual Ezh1 and Ezh2 inhibitor, or knockdown of EED

Ezh2 and EZH1 are histone H3 lysine 27 specific methyltransferase. Their hyperactive mutations and overexpression were found in cancer including various hematological malignancies. UNC1999 is a highly selective inhibitor for both enzymes. It suppresses H3K27 tri- and di-methylation globally and inhibits growth of MLL-rearranged acute leukemia cell lines. UNC2400, a di-methylated derivative of UNC1999, is employed an inactive analog compound for assessment of off-target effects. EED knockdown was used to demonstrate gene targets of PRC2.
