Because the absence of the SANT2 domain is the major dis- tinguishing feature between Rcor3 and Rcor1/2, we appended each of the Rcor1 SANT domains to Rcor3 downstream of the linker region and evaluated the activity of the resulting chimeric proteins (Fig. 2 D and E). Strikingly, addition of the SANT2 C domain conferred the ability to facilitate LSD1 mediated nu- cleosomal demethylation on the chimeric Rcor3-SANT2 protein (Fig. 2D), but not that of the SANT1 domain (Fig. 2E). These results demonstrate inherent functional differences between the Rcor1 SANT domains even when compensated for positional differences in the Rcor backbone, and illustrate the structural basis for the inhibitory properties of Rcor3 relative to Rcor1/2.

  • 4-6 Weeks Old Female C57BL/6 Mice Obtained from Jackson Labs Were Used for Cell Isolation
    Methods Mice: 4-6 weeks old female C57BL/6 mice obtained from Jackson labs were used for cell isolation. Female Foxp3-IRES-GFP reporter mice (1), backcrossed to B6/C57 background for 10 generations, were used for the isolation of naïve CD4 and naïve CD8 cells for the RNAseq experiments. The mice were housed in pathogen-free animal facility in the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology and were used according to protocols approved by the Institutional Animal Care and use Committee. Preparation of cells: Subsets of thymocytes were isolated by cell sorting as previously described (2), after cell surface staining using CD4 (GK1.5), CD8 (53-6.7), CD3ε (145- 2C11), CD24 (M1/69) (all from Biolegend). DP cells: CD4+CD8 int/hi; CD4 SP cells: CD4CD3 hi, CD24 int/lo; CD8 SP cells: CD8 int/hi CD4 CD3 hi, CD24 int/lo (Fig S2). Peripheral subsets were isolated after pooling spleen and lymph nodes. T cells were enriched by negative isolation using Dynabeads (Dynabeads untouched mouse T cells, 11413D, Invitrogen). After surface staining for CD4 (GK1.5), CD8 (53-6.7), CD62L (MEL-14), CD25 (PC61) and CD44 (IM7), naïve CD4+CD62L hiCD25-CD44lo and naïve CD8+CD62L hiCD25-CD44lo were obtained by sorting (BD FACS Aria). Additionally, for the RNAseq experiments, CD4 and CD8 naïve cells were isolated by sorting T cells from the Foxp3- IRES-GFP mice: CD4+CD62LhiCD25–CD44lo GFP(FOXP3)– and CD8+CD62LhiCD25– CD44lo GFP(FOXP3)– (antibodies were from Biolegend). In some cases, naïve CD4 cells were cultured in vitro under Th1 or Th2 polarizing conditions (3, 4).

  • Supplemental Information
    Supplemental information Dissection of the genomic structure of the miR-183/96/182 gene. Previously, we showed that the miR-183/96/182 cluster is an intergenic miRNA cluster, located in a ~60-kb interval between the genes encoding nuclear respiratory factor-1 (Nrf1) and ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2H (Ube2h) on mouse chr6qA3.3 (1). To start to uncover the genomic structure of the miR- 183/96/182 gene, we first studied genomic features around miR-183/96/182 in the UCSC genome browser (http://genome.UCSC.edu/), and identified two CpG islands 3.4-6.5 kb 5’ of pre-miR-183, the most 5’ miRNA of the cluster (Fig. 1A; Fig. S1 and Seq. S1). A cDNA clone, AK044220, located at 3.2-4.6 kb 5’ to pre-miR-183, encompasses the second CpG island (Fig. 1A; Fig. S1). We hypothesized that this cDNA clone was derived from 5’ exon(s) of the primary transcript of the miR-183/96/182 gene, as CpG islands are often associated with promoters (2). Supporting this hypothesis, multiple expressed sequences detected by gene-trap clones, including clone D016D06 (3, 4), were co-localized with the cDNA clone AK044220 (Fig. 1A; Fig. S1). Clone D016D06, deposited by the German GeneTrap Consortium (GGTC) (http://tikus.gsf.de) (3, 4), was derived from insertion of a retroviral construct, rFlpROSAβgeo in 129S2 ES cells (Fig. 1A and C). The rFlpROSAβgeo construct carries a promoterless reporter gene, the β−geo cassette - an in-frame fusion of the β-galactosidase and neomycin resistance (Neor) gene (5), with a splicing acceptor (SA) immediately upstream, and a polyA signal downstream of the β−geo cassette (Fig.

Received: 25 October 2019; Accepted: 18 November 2019; Published: 20 November 2019 Abstract: A new exciting area in cancer research is the study of cancer stem cells (CSCs) and the translational implications for putative epigenetic therapies targeted against them. Accumulating evidence of the effects of epigenetic modulating agents has revealed their dramatic consequences on cellular reprogramming and, particularly, reversing cancer stemness characteristics, such as self- renewal and chemoresistance. Lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1/KDM1A) plays a well- established role in the normal hematopoietic and neuronal stem cells. Overexpression of LSD1 has been documented in a variety of cancers, where the enzyme is, usually, associated with the more aggressive types of the disease. Interestingly, recent studies have implicated LSD1 in the regulation of the pool of CSCs in different leukemias and solid tumors. However, the precise mechanisms that LSD1 uses to mediate its effects on cancer stemness are largely unknown. Herein, we review the literature on LSD1’s role in normal and cancer stem cells, highlighting the analogies of its mode of action in the two biological settings. Given its potential as a pharmacological target, we, also, discuss current advances in the design of novel therapeutic regimes in cancer that incorporate LSD1 inhibitors, as well as their future perspectives.

For RCOR1, expression means in DA, genes including SYN1 gene. CoREST, encoded by RCOR1 AO, and GBM groups were 0.7203, 0.7334, and 0.7230, re- gene, binds to the REST protein for remodeling of chroma- spectively. SYN1 expression means were as follows: 0.3936, tin structure. Although there is a relation among REST, 0.3192, and 0.3197 in DA, AO, and GBM groups, respective- RCOR1, and SYN1 genes, the role of these genes in glioma ly. Neither gain nor loss of copy numbers were detected for tumors is still unclear. In this study, expressions of REST, REST and RCOR1 genes in all groups.

  • KDM1A Microenvironment, Its Oncogenic Potential, And
    Ismail et al. Epigenetics & Chromatin (2018) 11:33 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13072-018-0203-3 Epigenetics & Chromatin REVIEW Open Access KDM1A microenvironment, its oncogenic potential, and therapeutic signifcance Tayaba Ismail1, Hyun‑Kyung Lee1, Chowon Kim1, Taejoon Kwon2, Tae Joo Park2* and Hyun‑Shik Lee1* Abstract The lysine-specifc histone demethylase 1A (KDM1A) was the frst demethylase to challenge the concept of the irreversible nature of methylation marks. KDM1A, containing a favin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-dependent amine oxidase domain, demethylates histone 3 lysine 4 and histone 3 lysine 9 (H3K4me1/2 and H3K9me1/2). It has emerged as an epigenetic developmental regulator and was shown to be involved in carcinogenesis. The functional diversity of KDM1A originates from its complex structure and interactions with transcription factors, promoters, enhancers, onco‑ proteins, and tumor-associated genes (tumor suppressors and activators). In this review, we discuss the microenviron‑ ment of KDM1A in cancer progression that enables this protein to activate or repress target gene expression, thus making it an important epigenetic modifer that regulates the growth and diferentiation potential of cells. A detailed analysis of the mechanisms underlying the interactions between KDM1A and the associated complexes will help to improve our understanding of epigenetic regulation, which may enable the discovery of more efective anticancer drugs. Keywords: Histone demethylation, Carcinogenesis, Acute myeloid leukemia, KDM1A, TLL Background X-chromosome, that are involved in the regulation of Epigenetic modifcations are crucial for physiological development.
