Interestingly, the core subset of genes that are both downregulated and acquire de novo H3K27me3 in the AstroEGFR* to PT transition showed a highly significant overlap with the subset of Polycomb targets that are significantly downregulated during cell reprogramming ( Supplementary Fig. 2a ).

The sentences
In the case of neuroblastoma, ZNF423 displayed a clear trend of progressively decreased expression with more advanced tumour stages and lower expression was associated with worst prognosis.
Specifically, although AstroEGFR*1, which reached overexpression levels comparable to those in AstroEGFR*2, showed a trend of extended survival that did not reach statistical significance, AstroEGFR*3, despite much stronger Zfp423 overexpression, displayed a shorter survival.
