1 The aim of the present study was to demonstrate that ribavirin, a known inhibitor of eIF4E and inosine 5"-phosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), also inhibits histone methyltransferase zeste homolog 2 (EZH2). Ribavirin enhancer of zeste 2 polycomb repressive complex 2 subunit Homo sapiens
2 Ribavirin decreased EZH2 expression, inhibited histone methyltransferase activity and decreased H3K27 trimethylation. Ribavirin enhancer of zeste 2 polycomb repressive complex 2 subunit Homo sapiens
3 Ribavirin induced variable growth inhibition in a number of cell lines and downregulation of the targets, EZH2, eIF4E and IMPDH1 and 2 by siRNA led to comparable growth inhibition while no significant further reduction in viability was observed when siRNA transfected cells were treated with ribavirin. Ribavirin enhancer of zeste 2 polycomb repressive complex 2 subunit Homo sapiens
