CARM1-expressing ovarian cancer depends on the histone methyltransferase EZH2 activity

CARM1 is an arginine methyltransferase often overexpressed in human cancer. Here, the authors show that EZH2 inhibition suppresses growth in CARM1-expressing epithelial ovarian cancer, and examine the mechanism of how CARM1 promotes EZH2-mediated tumor suppressor gene silencing.
