Histone H3 lysine 79 (H3K79) methylation at Myc-responsive elements of target gene promoters is a strict prerequisites for Myc-induced transcriptional activation. DOT1L is the only known histone methyltransferase that catalyses mono-methylation (me), di- methylation (me2) and tri-methylation (me3) at the histone H3K79 position, which have been linked to gene transcriptional activation. JMJD6 is a bi-functional arginine demethylase and lysyl-hydroxylase. The JMJD6 gene is located on the chromosome 17q25 position. 17q21-gter gain has been identified as the most frequent chromosome alternation in neuroblastoma and an indicator of poor patient prognostic. Here, I investigated the roles of DOT1L and JMJD6 in N-Myc over-expressing neuroblastoma. I found that N-Myc up-regulated DOT1L mRNA and protein expression, by binding to an E-box at the DOT1L gene promoter. Knocking-down DOT1L reduced the mRNA and protein expression of the N-Myc target genes, ODC1 and E2F2. DOT1L and N-Myc formed a protein complex, and knocking-down DOT1L reduced histone H3K79me2 and N-Myc protein binding at the promoters of the N-Myc target genes ODC1 and E2F2, and reduced neuroblastoma cell proliferation in vitro and tumour progression in neuroblastoma-bearing mice. In a publicly available microarray gene expression dataset, high levels of DOT1L gene expression in tumours correlated with high levels of MYCN gene expression and poor patient survival independent of MYCN amplification, age at diagnosis and disease stage. I have also demonstrated that JMJD6 up-regulated both N-Myc and c-Myc in neuroblastoma cell lines. Conversely N-Myc and c-Myc did not affect JMJD6 mRNA or protein expression. Knocking down JMJD6 reduced neuroblastoma cell proliferation in vitro and tumour progression in neuroblastoma-bearing mice. JMJD6 gene expression correlated with MYCN gene expression in human neuroblastoma tissue microarray gene expression datasets. High DOT1L gene expression was also a prognostic factor for poor neuroblastoma[Grab your reader’s patient attention outcome. with a great quote from the document or use this space to Inemphasize conclusion, a key thes point.e data To identify place this DOT1L text box as aanywhere novel co -onfactor the page,in N-Myc just dragoncogenesis, it.] and provide critical evidence for the potential utilization of DOT1L inhibitors for the therapy of MYCN amplified neuroblastoma.

  • The Cross-Talk Between Methylation and Phosphorylation in Lymphoid-Specific Helicase Drives Cancer Stem-Like Properties
    Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy www.nature.com/sigtrans ARTICLE OPEN The cross-talk between methylation and phosphorylation in lymphoid-specific helicase drives cancer stem-like properties Na Liu1,2,3, Rui Yang1,2, Ying Shi1,2, Ling Chen1,2, Yating Liu1,2, Zuli Wang1,2, Shouping Liu1,2, Lianlian Ouyang4, Haiyan Wang1,2, Weiwei Lai1,2, Chao Mao1,2, Min Wang1,2, Yan Cheng5, Shuang Liu4, Xiang Wang6, Hu Zhou7, Ya Cao1,2, Desheng Xiao1 and Yongguang Tao1,2,6 Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) of proteins, including chromatin modifiers, play crucial roles in the dynamic alteration of various protein properties and functions including stem-cell properties. However, the roles of Lymphoid-specific helicase (LSH), a DNA methylation modifier, in modulating stem-like properties in cancer are still not clearly clarified. Therefore, exploring PTMs modulation of LSH activity will be of great significance to further understand the function and activity of LSH. Here, we demonstrate that LSH is capable to undergo PTMs, including methylation and phosphorylation. The arginine methyltransferase PRMT5 can methylate LSH at R309 residue, meanwhile, LSH could as well be phosphorylated by MAPK1 kinase at S503 residue. We further show that the accumulation of phosphorylation of LSH at S503 site exhibits downregulation of LSH methylation at R309 residue, which eventually promoting stem-like properties in lung cancer. Whereas, phosphorylation-deficient LSH S503A mutant promotes the accumulation of LSH methylation at R309 residue and attenuates stem-like properties, indicating the critical roles of LSH PTMs in modulating stem-like properties. Thus, our study highlights the importance of the crosstalk between LSH PTMs in determining its activity and function in lung cancer stem-cell maintenance.

    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Hypoxia and Oxygen-Sensing Signaling in Gene Regulation and Cancer Progression Guang Yang, Rachel Shi and Qing Zhang * Department of Pathology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX 75390, USA; [email protected] (G.Y.); [email protected] (R.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-214-645-4671 Received: 6 October 2020; Accepted: 29 October 2020; Published: 31 October 2020 Abstract: Oxygen homeostasis regulation is the most fundamental cellular process for adjusting physiological oxygen variations, and its irregularity leads to various human diseases, including cancer. Hypoxia is closely associated with cancer development, and hypoxia/oxygen-sensing signaling plays critical roles in the modulation of cancer progression. The key molecules of the hypoxia/oxygen-sensing signaling include the transcriptional regulator hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) which widely controls oxygen responsive genes, the central members of the 2-oxoglutarate (2-OG)-dependent dioxygenases, such as prolyl hydroxylase (PHD or EglN), and an E3 ubiquitin ligase component for HIF degeneration called von Hippel–Lindau (encoding protein pVHL). In this review, we summarize the current knowledge about the canonical hypoxia signaling, HIF transcription factors, and pVHL. In addition, the role of 2-OG-dependent enzymes, such as DNA/RNA-modifying enzymes, JmjC domain-containing enzymes, and prolyl hydroxylases, in gene regulation of cancer progression, is specifically reviewed. We also discuss the therapeutic advancement of targeting hypoxia and oxygen sensing pathways in cancer. Keywords: hypoxia; PHDs; TETs; JmjCs; HIFs 1. Introduction Molecular oxygen serves as a co-factor in many biochemical processes and is fundamental for aerobic organisms to maintain intracellular ATP levels [1,2].

Received: 4 January 2011; in revised form: 11 March 2011 / Accepted: 25 March 2011 / Published: 29 March 2011 Abstract: Estrogen receptor (ER) signaling plays a key role in hormonal cancer progression. ER is a ligand-dependent transcription factor that modulates gene transcription via recruitment to the target gene chromatin. Emerging evidence suggests that ER signaling has the potential to contribute to epigenetic changes. Estrogen stimulation is shown to induce several histone modifications at the ER target gene promoters including acetylation, phosphorylation and methylation via dynamic interactions with histone modifying enzymes. Deregulation of enzymes involved in the ER-mediated epigenetic pathway could play a vital role in ER driven neoplastic processes. Unlike genetic alterations, epigenetic changes are reversible, and hence offer novel therapeutic opportunities to reverse ERdriven epigenetic changes In this review, we summarize current knowledge on mechanisms by which ER signaling potentiates epigenetic changes in cancer cells via histone modifications.

  • Histone Demethylase JMJD6 Regulates Cellular Migration And
    Shen et al. Stem Cell Research & Therapy (2018) 9:212 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13287-018-0949-3 RESEARCH Open Access Histone demethylase JMJD6 regulates cellular migration and proliferation in adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells Chongyang Shen1,2, Qingli Quan3*, Chuan Yang1, Yueqiang Wen2 and Hong Li1* Abstract Background: Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) have been extensively explored as a promising therapeutic agent due to their differentiation, proliferation and migration abilities. The epigenetic mechanisms that regulate the fate of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been described in detail. However, the epigenetic modulation of ADSCs proliferation and migration is poorly understood. Methods: The present study examined histone demethylases roles and expression by RT-PCR, as well as through siRNA screening and ChIP-qPCR assay. Cellular proliferation and migration assays were employed in shRNA- mediated JMJD6 knockdown and control ADSCs. PDE1C inhibition studies were conducted to confirm its role in JMJD6-mediated epigenetic regulation of ADSCs. Results: The data demonstrate that the histone demethylase JMJD6 plays a critical role in regulating the proliferation and migration of ADSCs by removing H4R3me2a at the promoter regions of PDEC1 and suppressing PDEC1 expression. Importantly, the depletion of JMJD6 in ADSCs significantly increased cellular proliferation and motility, which was associated with increases in PDE1C expression and decreases in the levels of both cAMP and cGMP. The increase in proliferation and migration was reversed by treatment with a PDE1C inhibitor, suggesting that JMJD6 attenuates the proliferation and migration of ADSCs as an epigenetic regulator and PDE1C partially contributes to the JMJD6-mediated regulation. Conclusions: Taken together, our results indicate for the first time that JMJD6 plays an important role in the regulation of ADSCs proliferation and migration through the modulation of PDE1C expression.

  • The Dynamic Role of Jumonji C Domain Containing Protein 6 in Placental Development and Disease
    The Dynamic Role of Jumonji C Domain Containing Protein 6 in Placental Development and Disease by Sruthi Alahari A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Physiology University of Toronto © Copyright by Sruthi Alahari 2017 i The Dynamic Role of Jumonji C Domain Containing Protein 6 in Placental Development and Disease Sruthi Alahari Doctor of Philosophy Department of Physiology University of Toronto 2017 Abstract Perturbations in oxygen sensing are a defining feature of placental-associated pathologies such as preeclampsia, a serious disorder of pregnancy. Preeclamptic placentae have markedly elevated levels of Hypoxia Inducible Factor 1α (HIF1A), a master regulator of oxygen homeostasis. Mounting evidence implicates a family of Fe2+ and oxygen-dependent Jumonji C domain containing enzymes (JMJDs) as mediators of the epigenetic code and hypoxic gene expression. While several JMJDs are induced in hypoxia, their role in pregnancy remains unclear. The goal of this study was to characterize JMJD6 function in the placenta in physiological and pathological conditions, and unravel its regulatory relationship with von Hippel Lindau tumour suppressor (VHL), a key executor of the cellular hypoxic response. JMJD6 expression inversely correlated with changes in oxygen tension during placental development, while JMJD6 protein and mRNA were significantly elevated in low oxygen and in early-onset preeclamptic (E-PE) placentae. In vitro demethylation assays revealed that optimal JMJD6-dependent demethylation of its histone targets, H3R2me2s and H4R3me2s, occurred in normoxia, and this was impaired in E-PE placentae due to a hypoxia-iron imbalance. In cytotrophoblast cells, JMJD6 is a positive ii regulator of VHL gene expression in normoxia.
