The Lysine Methylase SMYD3 Modulates Mesendodermal Commitment during Development
SMYD3 (SET and MYND domain containing protein 3) is a methylase over-expressed in cancer cells and involved in oncogenesis. While several studies uncovered key functions for SMYD3 in cancer models, the SMYD3 role in physiological conditions has not been ...

SMYD3 synergises with RACK1 to promote colorectal cancer lung metastasis by recruiting SMAD3 [PDF]
Cancer metastasis is the leading cause of mortality associated with cancer, and the prognosis for patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer(CRC) largely depends on the occurrence of metastasis during the progression of the disease.

SMYD3–CDCP1 Axis Drives EMT and CAF Activation in Colorectal Cancer and Is Targetable for Oxaliplatin Sensitization [PDF]
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality is predominantly driven by liver metastasis and poor responsiveness to chemotherapy. The histone methyltransferase SMYD3 has been implicated in oncogenic transcriptional programs; however, its downstream ...

Loss of histone methyltransferase Smyd3 triggers WAT browning and adaptive thermogenesis via enhancing PPARγ expression in a H4K20me3-dependent manner [PDF]
Adaptive thermogenesis driven by brown/beige adipose tissue has gained attention as a promising strategy for combating obesity. Histone methyltransferase SET and MYND Domain Containing 3 (Smyd3) is strongly associated with metabolic and cardiovascular ...

Tailoring a novel colorectal cancer stem cell-targeted therapy by inhibiting the SMYD3/c-MYC axis [PDF]
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are responsible for colorectal cancer (CRC) chemoresistance, recurrence, and metastasis. Therefore, identifying molecular stemness targets that are involved in tumor growth is crucial for effective treatment.

Investigating SMYD3 role during oocyte maturation in a 3D follicle-enclosed oocyte in vitro model in sheep [PDF]
BackgroundSMYD3 is a histone methyltransferase known for its dual role in modifying both histone and non-histone proteins. Despite its established involvement in somatic cell function and oncogenesis, its role in mammalian oogenesis and early embryonic ...
