Inhibition of cytoplasmic EZH2 induces antitumor activity through stabilization of the DLC1 tumor suppressor protein

The tumor suppressor gene DLC1 can be downregulated in cancers through genetic and non-genetic mechanisms. Here, the authors show cytoplasmic EZH2 can directly methylate and destabilize the DLC1 protein, and EZH2 inhibition can increase the DLC1 protein half-life at least 20-fold.
