Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center have identified, for the first time, an epigenetic mechanism promoting breast cancer. The team found that inhibition of the PI3K pathway leads to activation of ER-dependent transcription through the epigenetic regulator KMT2D. These findings provide a rationale for epigenetic therapy in patients with PIK3CA-mutant, ER-positive breast cancer. While epigenetic factors have been known to play an important role in various cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma, this is the first evidence found in breast cancer. This research co-led by José Baselga, MD, PhD, Physician-in-Chief and Chief Medical Officer, appears in the March 24, 2017 issue of Science.
