Mediator kinase inhibition drives myometrial stem cell differentiation and the uterine fibroid phenotype through super-enhancer reprogramming

Mediator kinase inhibition in myometrial stem cells (MM SCs) induces spontaneous differentiation. Transcriptional changes upon Mediator kinase inhibition recapitulate those of MED12 mutant uterine fibroids (UFs). Such transcriptional changes are partially mediated by super-enhancer reprogramming. Mediator kinase functions to enforce cell states and its loss induces cellular plasticity.
