Targeting bivalency de-represses Indian Hedgehog and inhibits self-renewal of colorectal cancer-initiating cells

Targeting bivalency de-represses Indian Hedgehog and inhibits self-renewal of colorectal cancer-initiating cells

The presence of bivalent epigenetic active and repressive histone marks control lineage-specific differentiation in embryonic stem cells. Here, the authors reveal that bivalent marks repress the differentiation gene IHH in colorectal cancer-initiating cells, and can be targeted by EZH2 inhibition
