Hormonally Regulated Myogenic miR-486 Influences Sex-Specific Differences in Cancer-Induced Skeletal Muscle Defects
[Endocrinology] Estradiol (E2) and the clinically used selective estrogen receptor modulator toremifene increased miR-486 in undifferentiated and differentiated myoblast cell line C2C12 and E2-inducible expression correlated with direct binding of estrogen receptor alpha to the regulatory region of miR-486 gene.

EZH2-Induced Lysine K362 Methylation Enhances TMPRSS2-ERG Oncogenic Activity in Prostate Cancer
[Nature Communications] In both ERG positive VCaP cells and ERG/PTEN mice, PTEN loss results in AKT activation and EZH2 phosphorylation at serine 21 that favors ERG methylation.
