Abstract
Cellular senescence is defined by an irreversible growth arrest and is an important biological mechanism for suppression of tumor formation. Although deletion/mutation to DNA sequences is one mechanism by which cancer cells can escape senescence, little is known about the epigenetic factors contributing to this process. Histone modifications and chromatin remodeling related to the function of a histone demethylase, jumonji domain-containing protein 3 (JMJD3; also known as KDM6B), play an important role in development, tissue regeneration, stem cells, inflammation, and cellular senescence and aging. The role of JMJD3 in cancer is poorly understood and its function may be at the intersection of many pathways promoted in a dysfunctional manner such as activation of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) observed in aging.

Mol Cell Neurosci 2014; 61:187-200.

Abstract
Enzymes that regulate histone lysine methylation play important roles in neuronal differentiation, but little is known about their contributions to activity-regulated gene transcription in differentiated neurons. We characterized activity-regulated expression of lysine demethylases and lysine methyltransferases in the hippocampus of adult male mice following pilocarpine-induced seizure. Pilocarpine drove a 20-fold increase in mRNA encoding the histone H3 lysine 27-specific demethylase Kdm6b selectively in granule neurons of the dentate gyrus, and this induction was recapitulated in cultured hippocampal neurons by bicuculline and 4-aminopyridine (Bic + 4AP) stimulation of synaptic activity. Because activity-regulated gene expression is highly correlated with neuronal survival, we tested the requirement for Kdm6b expression in Bic + 4AP induced preconditioning of neuronal survival. Prior exposure to Bic + 4AP promoted neuronal survival in control neurons upon growth factor withdrawal; however, this effect was ablated when we knocked down Kdm6b expression. Loss of Kdm6b did not disrupt activity-induced expression of most genes, including that of a gene set previously established to promote neuronal survival in this assay. However, using bioinformatic analysis of RNA sequencing data, we discovered that Kdm6b knockdown neurons showed impaired inducibility of a discrete set of genes annotated for their function in inflammation. These data reveal a novel function for Kdm6b in activity-regulated neuronal survival, and they suggest that activity- and Kdm6b-dependent regulation of inflammatory gene pathways may serve as an adaptive pro-survival response to increased neuronal activity.

Abstract
AbstractThe first Jumonji gene was cloned in 1995 by Takeuchi et al. [Takeuchi T, Yamazaki Y, Katoh-Fukui Y, Tsuchiya R, Kondo S, Motoyama J, Higashinakagawa T. Gene trap capture of a novel mouse gene, jumonji, required for neural tube formation. Genes Dev 1995; 9: 1211–22.]. Several genes sharing similar biological features have since been discovered, and are currently grouped into the JMJ family. Interestingly, their deregulation has been associated with cardiac disease, obesity, neurological disorders and cancer. One of the mechanisms underlying their function is gene expression modulation via histone post-translational modifications (PTMs). Increasing evidence of Jumonji deregulation in tumours such as colon, prostate, haematological and breast cancer is continually emerging, hence the need to acquire a better understanding. The Genesapiens.org database of patient arrays allows target expression levels to be investigated in a wide range of cancers, corroborating and extending the role of the JMJ family. Here, we provide an overview of the expression profile and regulation of JMJ family members in cancer, examining the most recent literature in the light of analyses drawn from this database.

Abstract
The histone H3 Lys 27 (H3K27) demethylase JMJD3 has been shown to play important roles in transcriptional regulation and cell differentiation. However, the mechanism underlying JMJD3-mediated transcriptional regulation remains incompletely understood. Here we show that JMJD3 is associated with KIAA1718, whose substrates include dimethylated H3K27 (H3K27me2), and proteins involved in transcriptional elongation. JMJD3 and KIAA1718 directly bind to and regulate the expression of a plethora of common target genes in both a demethylase activity-dependent and -independent manner in the human promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL-60. We found that JMJD3 and KIAA1718 collaborate to demethylate trimethylated H3K27 (H3K27me3) on a subset of their target genes, some of which are bivalently marked by H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 and associated with promoter-proximal, paused RNA polymerase II (Pol II) before activation. Reduction of either JMJD3 or KIAA1718 diminishes Pol II traveling along the gene bodies of the affected genes while having no effect on the promoter-proximal Pol II. Furthermore, JMJD3 and KIAA1718 also play a role in localizing elongation factors SPT6 and SPT16 to the target genes. Our results support the model whereby JMJD3 activates bivalent gene transcription by demethylating H3K27me3 and promoting transcriptional elongation. Taken together, these findings provide new insight into the mechanisms by which JMJD3 regulates gene expression.

Abstract
The protein kinase C (PKC) family of proteins includes several kinases that share structural homology, but at the same time exhibit substantial functional diversity. There is a significant amount of evidence establishing distinct patterns of expression and function for different PKC isoforms and groups in different leukemias. Although most members of this family promote leukemic cell survival and growth, others exhibit opposing effects and participate in the generation of antileukemic responses. This review summarizes work in this field on the relevance of distinct members of the PKC family in the pathophysiology of myeloid and lymphoid leukemias. The clinical-therapeutic potential of such ongoing work for the treatment of future development of novel approaches for the treatment of different types of leukemias is discussed.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and mRNAs constitute an important part of gene regulatory networks, influencing diverse biological phenomena. To discover novel regulatory pathways during myeloid differentiation, we performed miRNA as well as mRNA expression profiling of in vitro-differentiating HL-60 cells treated with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). The main findings were up-regulation of miR-146a/b, miR-21, miR-221, miR-222, miR-155, miR-26a and down-regulation of miR-199a*, miR-181c, miR-142-3p, miR-92. After integrating the miRNA and mRNA expression data into a Transcriptome Interaction Database by Molecule Annotation System (MAS) software, a number of differently expressed mRNAs were revealed as potential targets of these miRNAs.

Abstract
Since the first histone lysine demethylase KDM1 (LSD1) was discovered in 2004, a great number of histone demethylases have been recognized and shown to play important roles in gene expression, as well as cellular differentiation and animal development. The chemical mechanisms and substrate specificities have already been extensively discussed elsewhere. This review focuses primarily on regulatory mechanisms that modulate demethylase recruitment and activity.

Abstract
In this study we analysed the regulation of gene expression by arvanil and anandamide in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) to clarify their immunosuppressive properties. PBMCs were activated, leading to CD36 down regulation, that was normalized by arvanil and anandamide. We used microarray technology to identify a regulatory pattern associated with cell proliferation in the presence of both substances. CD3-CD28 stimulated PBMCs showed a pattern of up-regulated and down-regulated genes after treatment with these substances. We selected and analysed several genes chosen by their function in the regulation of cell proliferation. We showed a transcriptional control of the CD36 gene by arvanil and anandamide associated with an increased protein expression, thus suggesting a possible role of CD36 in anandamide and arvanil anti-inflammatory pattern.
