Repressing the repressor: Ezh2 mediates macrophage activation

In this issue of JEM, Zhang et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20171417) show that the suppressive epigenetic enzyme Ezh2 is an important regulator of macrophage activation. The absence of Ezh2 leads to reduced cytokine secretion and suppresses macrophage-dependent disease development. They identif...

Sumario:In this issue of JEM, Zhang et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20171417) show that the suppressive epigenetic enzyme Ezh2 is an important regulator of macrophage activation. The absence of Ezh2 leads to reduced cytokine secretion and suppresses macrophage-dependent disease development. They identify the antiinflammatory factor Socs3 as an important target for Ezh2 and thus show that regulation of suppressive histone modifications controls macrophage activation in disease.
