Abstract
The compound 2-4(4-methylphenyl)-1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one (PBIT) is an inhibitor of the KDM5 family of lysine-specific histone demethylases that has been suggested as a lead compound for cancer therapy. The goal of this study was to explore the effects of PBIT within human prostate cancers. Micromolar concentrations of PBIT altered proliferation of castration-sensitive LNCaP and castration-resistant C4-2B, LNCaP-MDV3100 and PC-3 human prostate cancer cell lines. We then characterized the mechanism underlying the anti-proliferative effects of PBIT within the C4-2B and PC-3 cell lines. Data from Cell Death ELISAs suggest that PBIT does not induce apoptosis within C4-2B or PC-3 cells. However, PBIT did increase the amount of senescence associated beta-galactosidase. PBIT also altered cell cycle progression and increased protein levels of the cell cycle protein p21. PC-3 and C4-2B cells express varying amounts of KDM5A, KDM5B, and KDM5C, the therapeutic targets of PBIT. siRNA-mediated knockdown studies suggest that inhibition of multiple KDM5 isoforms contribute to the anti-proliferative effect of PBIT. Furthermore, combination treatments involving PBIT and the PPARγ agonist 15-deoxy-Δ-12, 14 -prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ₂) also reduced PC-3 cell proliferation. Together, these data strongly suggest that PBIT significantly reduces the proliferation of prostate cancers via a mechanism that involves cell cycle arrest and senescence.

Abstract
The Warburg effect is the preference of cancer cells to use glycolysis rather than oxidative phosphorylation to generate energy. Accumulating evidence suggests that aerobic glycolysis is widespread in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and closely related to tumorigenesis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role and mechanism of forkhead box P2 (FOXP2) in aerobic glycolysis and tumorigenesis in HCC. Here, we found that FOXP2 was lower expressed in HCC tissues and cells than in nontumor tissues and normal hepatocytes. Overexpression of FOXP2 suppressed cell proliferation and invasion of HCC cells and promoted cell apoptosis in vitro, and hindered the growth of mouse xenograft tumors in vivo. Further researches showed that FOXP2 inhibited the Warburg effect in HCC cells. Moreover, we demonstrated that FOXP2 up-regulated the expression of fructose-1, 6-diphosphatase (FBP1), and the inhibitory effect of FOXP2 on glycolysis was dependent on FBP1. Mechanistically, as a transcription factor, FOXP2 negatively regulated the transcription of lysine-specific demethylase 5A (KDM5A), and then blocked KDM5A-induced H3K4me3 demethylation in FBP1 promoter region, thereby promoting the expression of FBP1. Consistently, overexpressing KDM5A or silencing FBP1 effectively reversed the inhibitory effect of FOXP2 on HCC progression. Together, our findings revealed the mechanistic role of the FOXP2/KDM5A/FBP1 axis in glycolysis and malignant progression of HCC cells, providing a potential molecular target for the therapy of HCC.

Abstract
Tri-methylation of Histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4) is an important epigenetic modification whose deposition and removal can affect the chromatin at structural and functional levels. KDM5A is one of the four known H3K4-specific demethylases. It is a part of the KDM5 family, which is characterized by a catalytic Jumonji domain capable of removing H3K4 di- and tri-methylation marks. KDM5A has been found to be involved in multiple cellular processes such as differentiation, metabolism, cell cycle, and transcription. Its link to various diseases, including cancer, makes KDM5A an important target for drug development. However, despite several studies outlining its significance in various pathways, our lack of understanding of its recruitment and function at the target sites on the chromatin presents a challenge in creating effective and targeted treatments. Therefore, it is essential to understand the recruitment mechanism of KDM5A to chromatin, and its activity therein, to comprehend how various roles of KDM5A are regulated. In this review, we discuss how KDM5A functions in a context-dependent manner on the chromatin, either directly through its structural domain, or through various interacting partners, to bring about a diverse range of functions.

Abstract
The biology of the matrix remodeling-associated 7 (MXRA7) gene has been ill defined. Bioinformatic analysis of public data sets revealed that MXRA7 messenger RNA (mRNA) was highly expressed in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), especially acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). High expression of MXRA7 was associated with poor overall survival of patients with AML. We confirmed that MXRA7 expression was upregulated in patients with APL and cell lines. Knockdown or overexpression of MXRA7 did not affect the proliferation of NB4 cells directly. Knockdown of MXRA7 in NB4 cells promoted drug-induced cell apoptosis, whereas overexpression of MXRA7 had no obvious influence on drug-induced cell apoptosis. Lowering MXRA7 protein levels in NB4 cells promoted all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-induced cell differentiation possibly through decreasing the PML-RARα level and increasing PML and RARα levels. Correspondingly, overexpression of MXRA7 showed consistent results. We also demonstrated that MXRA7 altered the expression of genes involved in leukemic cell differentiation and growth. Knockdown of MXRA7 upregulated the expression levels of C/EBPB, C/EBPD, and UBE2L6, and downregulated the expression levels of KDM5A, CCND2, and SPARC. Moreover, knockdown of MXRA7 inhibited the malignancy of NB4 cells in a non-obese diabetic-severe combined immune-deficient mice model. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that MXRA7 influences the pathogenesis of APL via regulation of cell differentiation. The novel findings about the role of MXRA7 in leukemia not only shed light on the biology of this gene but also proposed this gene as a new target for APL treatment.

Abstract
The importance of Fbxo22 in carcinogenesis has been highly documented. Here, we discussed downstream regulatory factors of Fbxo22 in TNBC. RNA-sequencing was conducted for identifying differentially expressed genes, followed by construction of a regulatory network. Expression patterns of Fbxo22/KDM5A in TNBC were determined by their correlation with the prognosis analyzed. Then, regulation mechanisms between Fbxo22 and KDM5A as well as between KDM5A and H3K4me3 were assayed. After silencing and overexpression experiments, the significance of Fbxo22 in repressing tumorigenesis in vitro and in vivo was explored. Fbxo22 was poorly expressed, while KDM5A was highly expressed in TNBC. Patients with elevated Fbxo22, decreased KDM5A, or higher p16 had long overall survival. Fbxo22 reduced the levels of KDM5A by ubiquitination. KDM5A promoted histone H3K4me3 demethylation to downregulate p16 expression. Fbxo22 reduced KDM5A expression to enhance p16, thus inducing DNA damage as well as reducing tumorigenesis and metastasis in TNBC. Our study validated FBXO22 as a tumor suppressor in TNBC through ubiquitination of KDM5A and regulation of p16.

Abstract
Pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a rare and heterogeneous disease characterized by a high prevalence of gene fusions as driver mutations. Despite the improvement of survival in the last years, about 50% of patients still experience a relapse. It is not possible to improve prognosis only with further intensification of chemotherapy, as come with a severe cost to the health of patients, often resulting in treatment-related death or long-term sequels. To design more effective and less toxic therapies we need a better understanding of pediatric AML biology. The NUP98-KDM5A chimeric protein is exclusively found in a particular subgroup of young pediatric AML patients with complex karyotypes and poor prognosis. In this study, we investigated the impact of NUP98-KDM5A expression on cellular processes in human Pluripotent Stem Cell models and a patient-derived cell line. We found that NUP98-KDM5A generates genomic instability through two complementary mechanisms that involve accumulation of DNA damage and direct interference of RAE1 activity during mitosis. Overall, our data support that NUP98-KDM5A promotes genomic instability and likely contributes to malignant transformation.

Abstract
The demethylation of Nε -methyllysine residues on histones by Jumonji-C lysine demethylases (JmjC-KDMs) has been established. A subset of JmjC-KDMs has also been reported to have Nω -methylarginine residue demethylase (RDM) activity. Here, we describe biochemical screening studies, showing that the catalytic domains of all human KDM5s (KDM5A-KDM5D), KDM4E and, to a lesser extent, KDM4A/D, have both KDM and RDM activities with histone peptides. Ras GTPase-activating protein-binding protein 1 peptides were shown to be RDM substrates for KDM5C/D. No RDM activity was observed with KDM1A and the other JmjC-KDMs tested. The results highlight the potential of JmjC-KDMs to catalyse reactions other than Nε -methyllysine demethylation. Although our study is limited to peptide fragments, the results should help guide biological studies investigating JmjC functions.

Abstract
The high frequency of aberrant PI3K pathway activation in hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer has led to the development, clinical testing, and approval of the p110α-selective PI3K inhibitor alpelisib. The limited clinical efficacy of alpelisib and other PI3K inhibitors is partially attributed to the functional antagonism between PI3K and estrogen receptor (ER) signaling, which is mitigated via combined PI3K inhibition and endocrine therapy. We and others have previously demonstrated chromatin-associated mechanisms by which PI3K supports cancer development and antagonizes ER signaling through the modulation of the H3K4 methylation axis, inhibition of KDM5A promoter H3K4 demethylation and KMT2D/MLL4-directed enhancer H3K4 methylation. Here we show that inhibition of the H3K4 histone methyltransferase MLL1 in combination with PI3K inhibition impairs HR+ breast cancer clonogenicity and cell proliferation. While combined PI3K/MLL1 inhibition reduces PI3K/AKT signaling and H3K4 methylation, MLL1 inhibition increases PI3K/AKT signaling through the dysregulation of gene expression associated with AKT activation. These data reveal a feedback loop between MLL1 and AKT whereby MLL1 inhibition reactivates AKT. We show that combined PI3K and MLL1 inhibition synergizes to cause cell death in in vitro and in vivo models of HR+ breast cancer, which is enhanced by the additional genetic ablation of the H3K4 methyltransferase and AKT target KMT2D/MLL4. Together, our data provide evidence of a feedback mechanism connecting histone methylation with AKT and may support the preclinical development and testing of pan-MLL inhibitors. Significance Here the authors leverage PI3K/AKT-driven chromatin modification to identify histone methyltransferases as a therapeutic target. Dual PI3K and MLL inhibition synergize to reduce clonogenicity and cell proliferation, and promote in vivo tumor regression. These findings suggest patients with PIK3CA-mutant, HR+ breast cancer may derive clinical benefit from combined PI3K/MLL inhibition.

Abstract
Loss-of-function mutations in KMT2D are a striking feature of germinal center (GC) lymphomas, resulting in decreased histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4) methylation and altered gene expression. We hypothesized that inhibition of the KDM5 family, which demethylates H3K4me3/me2, would reestablish H3K4 methylation and restore the expression of genes repressed on loss of KMT2D. KDM5 inhibition increased H3K4me3 levels and caused an antiproliferative response in vitro, which was markedly greater in both endogenous and gene-edited KMT2D mutant diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cell lines, whereas tumor growth was inhibited in KMT2D mutant xenografts in vivo. KDM5 inhibition reactivated both KMT2D-dependent and -independent genes, resulting in diminished B-cell signaling and altered expression of B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) family members, including BCL2 itself. KDM5 inhibition may offer an effective therapeutic strategy for ameliorating KMT2D loss-of-function mutations in GC lymphomas.

Abstract
Cancer cells evolve to survive as 'persister cells' resistant to various chemotherapeutic agents. Persister cancer cells retain mesenchymal traits that are vulnerable to ferroptosis by iron-dependent accumulation of lethal lipid peroxidation. Regulation of the KDM5A-MPC1 axis might shift cancer cells to have mesenchymal traits via epithelial-mesenchymal transition process. Therefore, we examined the therapeutic potentiality of KDM5A-MPC1 axis regulation in promoting ferroptosis in erlotinib-tolerant persister head and neck cancer cells (erPCC). ErPCC acquired mesenchymal traits and disabled antioxidant program that were more vulnerable to ferroptosis inducers of RSL3, ML210, sulfasalazine, and erastin. GPX4 and xCT suppression caused increased sensitivity to ferroptosis in vivo models of GPX4 genetic silencing. KDM5A expression increased and MPC1 expression decreased in erPCC. KDM5A inhibition increased MPC1 expression and decreased sensitivity to ferroptosis inducers in erPCC. MPC1 suppression increased vulnerability to ferroptosis in vitro and in vivo by retaining mesenchymal traits and glutaminolysis. Low expression of MPC1 was associated with low overall survival from the TCGA data. Our data suggest that regulation of the KDM5A-MPC1 axis contributes to promoting cancer ferroptosis susceptibility.

Abstract
Understanding the ligand preferences of epigenetic reader domains enables identification of modification states of chromatin with which these domains associate and can yield insight into recruitment and catalysis of chromatin-acting complexes. However, thorough exploration of the ligand preferences of reader domains is hindered by the limitations of traditional protein-ligand binding assays. Here, we evaluate the binding preferences of the PHD1 domain of histone demethylase KDM5A using the protein interaction by SAMDI (PI-SAMDI) assay, which measures protein-ligand binding in a high-throughput and sensitive manner via binding-induced enhancement in the activity of a reporter enzyme, in combination with fluorescence polarization. The PI-SAMDI assay was validated by confirming its ability to accurately profile the relative binding affinity of a set of well-characterized histone 3 (H3) ligands of PHD1. The assay was then used to assess the affinity of PHD1 for 361 H3 mutant ligands, a select number of which were further characterized by fluorescence polarization. Together, these experiments revealed PHD1's tolerance for H3Q5 mutations, including an unexpected tolerance for aromatic residues in this position. Motivated by this finding, we further demonstrate a high-affinity interaction between PHD1 and recently identified Q5-serotonylated H3. This work yields interesting insights into permissible PHD1-H3 interactions and demonstrates the value of interfacing PI-SAMDI and fluorescence polarization in investigations of protein-ligand binding.

Abstract
Gene expression is influenced at many layers by a fine-tuned crosstalk between multiple extrinsic signalling pathways and intrinsic regulatory molecules that respond to environmental stimuli. Epigenetic modifiers like DNA methyltransferases, histone modifying enzymes and chromatin remodellers are reported to act as triggering factors in many scenarios by exhibiting their control over most of the cellular processes. These epigenetic players can either directly regulate gene expression or interact with some effector molecules that harmonize the expression of downstream genes. One such epigenetic regulator which exhibits multifaceted regulation over gene expression is KDM5A. It is classically a transcriptional repressor acting as H3K4me3 demethylase, but also is reported to act as an activator in many contexts either by loss of activity due to inhibition manifested by other interacting proteins or by downregulating the negative players of a given physiological process thereby escalating the framework. Through this review, we draw attention to the remarkable modes of functioning laid by KDM5A on transcriptional and translational processes, affecting gene expression during differentiation and development and finally summing up on role in disease causation (Fig. 1). We also shed light on different orthologs of KDM5A and their organism specific roles, along with comparison of the sequence similarity to extrapolate some unanswered questions about this protein.

Abstract
Chromosomal NUP98-PHF23 translocation is associated with an aggressive form of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and poor survival rate. Here, we report the molecular mechanisms by which NUP98-PHF23 recognizes the histone mark H3K4me3 and is inhibited by small molecule compounds, including disulfiram that directly targets the PHD finger of PHF23 (PHF23PHD). Our data support a critical role for the PHD fingers of NUP98-PHF23, and related NUP98-KDM5A and NUP98-BPTF fusions in driving leukemogenesis, and demonstrate that blocking this interaction in NUP98-PHF23 expressing AML cells leads to cell death through necrotic and late apoptosis pathways. An overlap of NUP98-KDM5A oncoprotein binding sites and H3K4me3-positive loci at the Hoxa/b gene clusters and Meis1 in ChIP-seq, together with NMR analysis of the H3K4me3-binding sites of the PHD fingers from PHF23, KDM5A and BPTF, suggests a common PHD finger-dependent mechanism that promotes leukemogenesis by this type of NUP98 fusions. Our findings highlight the direct correlation between the abilities of NUP98-PHD finger fusion chimeras to associate with H3K4me3-enriched chromatin and leukemic transformation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis is an inflammatory response undergoing the complicate pathophysiological changes for host defense against pathogens. Previous studies suggested that dexmedetomidine (DEX) was served to controlling the over-reactive inflammatory effects to protect from the sepsis-induced organ failure via modulating histone methylation. However, the genome-wide changes of histone methylations upon DEX for sepsis treatment were poorly explored. MATERIALS AND METHODS The acute kidney injury (AKI) mouse model were induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). DEX and KDM5 (H3K4 demethylases) inhibitors were used to add additionally. H3K4me3 antibody was used to conduct the ChIP-seq assay in renal cortex tissues. RESULTS We observed that the overall H3K4me3 levels were obviously declined in AKI group compared to the normal control. We further observed that the therapeutic effect of DEX was basically equal with CPI-455 and KDM5A-IN-1 but better than PBIT. The overall H3K4me3 level was reduced in AKI group compared to DEX (p = 0.008), and KDM5A-IN-1 groups (p = 0.022). The H3K4me3 enrichment of the multiple genes associated with inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, NOS2 and CCL2 increased in AKI model, but decreased upon DEX or KDM5A-IN-1 treatment. Consistently, transcription and protein levels of genes such as TLR4, MYD88, MTA1, PTGS2, CASP3 associated with NF-κB signaling pathway were all compromising after treated with DEX or KDM5A-IN-1 groups compared to AKI group. CONCLUSION Taken together, our data determined that DEX could attenuate AKI through KDM5A inhibition in sepsis.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the leading cause among cancer-related deaths due to urological cancers, which results in response to combination of genetic and epigenetic factors. Histone methylations have been implicated in renal tumorigenesis but their clinical significance and underlying pathology are unexplored. Here, we elucidated the histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4) methylation patterns in clear cell RCC and its underlying pathology. Lower cellular levels of H3K4 mono-methylation, -dimethylation and -tri-methylation were fraternized with higher TNM staging and Fuhrman grading as well as tumor metastasis. Further, the expression profile of 20 H3K4 modifiers revealed the significant over-expression of histone demethylases compared to methyltransferases, indicating their role in the reduction of H3K4 methylation levels. In view of above facts, the role of LSD2 and KDM5A demethylases in RCC pathogenesis were explored using respective siRNAs. The RCC cells exhibited reduced cell viability after knockdown of LSD2 and KDM5A genes with concomitant induction of apoptosis. In addition, propidium iodide staining demonstrated an arrest of RCC cells at S-phase and sub-G1 phase of the cell cycle. Taken together, these observations provide new pathological insights behind the alterations of H3K4 methylation patterns in ccRCC with their prognostic and therapeutic implications.

Abstract
Members of the KDM5 histone H3 lysine 4 demethylase family are associated with therapeutic resistance, including endocrine resistance in breast cancer, but the underlying mechanism is poorly defined. Here we show that genetic deletion of KDM5A/B or inhibition of KDM5 activity increases sensitivity to anti-estrogens by modulating estrogen receptor (ER) signaling and by decreasing cellular transcriptomic heterogeneity. Higher KDM5B expression levels are associated with higher transcriptomic heterogeneity and poor prognosis in ER+ breast tumors. Single-cell RNA sequencing, cellular barcoding, and mathematical modeling demonstrate that endocrine resistance is due to selection for pre-existing genetically distinct cells, while KDM5 inhibitor resistance is acquired. Our findings highlight the importance of cellular phenotypic heterogeneity in therapeutic resistance and identify KDM5A/B as key regulators of this process.

Abstract
Acquired chromosomal DNA amplifications are features of many tumors. Although overexpression and stabilization of the histone H3 lysine 9/36 (H3K9/36) tri-demethylase KDM4A generates transient site-specific copy number gains (TSSGs), additional mechanisms directly controlling site-specific DNA copy gains are not well defined. In this study, we uncover a collection of H3K4-modifying chromatin regulators that function with H3K9 and H3K36 regulators to orchestrate TSSGs. Specifically, the H3K4 tri-demethylase KDM5A and specific COMPASS/KMT2 H3K4 methyltransferases modulate different TSSG loci through H3K4 methylation states and KDM4A recruitment. Furthermore, a distinct chromatin modifier network, MLL1-KDM4B-KDM5B, controls copy number regulation at a specific genomic locus in a KDM4A-independent manner. These pathways comprise an epigenetic addressing system for defining site-specific DNA rereplication and amplifications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Retinal ischemia-related eye diseases result in visual dysfunction. This study investigates the protective effects and mechanisms of Xue-Fu-Zhu-Yu decoction (XFZYD) with respect to retinal ischemia. METHODS Retinal ischemia (I) was induced in Wistar rats by a high intraocular pressure (HIOP) of 120 mmHg for 1 h, which was followed by reperfusion of the ischemic eye; the fellow untreated eye acted as a control. Electroretinogram (ERG), biochemistry and histopathology investigations were performed. RESULTS Significant ischemic changes occurred after ischemia including decreased ERG b-wave ratios, less numerous retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), reduced inner retinal thickness, fewer choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) labeled amacrine cell bodies, increased glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) immunoreactivity and increased vimentin Müller immunolabeling. These were accompanied by significant increases in the mRNA/protein concentrations of vascular endothelium growth factor, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, pyruvate kinase M2 and retinoblastoma-binding protein 2. The ischemic changes were concentration-dependently and significantly altered when XFZYD was given for seven consecutive days before or after retina ischemia, compared to vehicle. These alterations included enhanced ERG b-wave amplitudes, more numerous RGCs, enhanced inner retinal thickness, a greater number of ChAT immunolabeled amacrine cell bodies and decreased GFAP/vimentin immunoreactivity. Furthermore, decreased mRNA levels of VEGF, HIF-1α, PKM2, and RBP2 were also found. Reduced protein concentrations of VEGF, HIF-1α, PKM2, and RBP2 were also demonstrated. Furthermore, there was an inhibition of the ischemia-associated increased ratios (target protein/β-actin) in the protein levels of VEGF, HIF-1α, PKM2, and RBP2, which were induced by Shikonin, JIB-04 or Avastin. CONCLUSION XFZYD would seem to protect against well-known retinal ischemic changes via a synergistic inhibition of RBP2 and PKM2, as well as down-regulation of HIF-1α and a reduction in VEGF secretion.

Abstract
Methylation of lysine residues on histone tail is a dynamic epigenetic modification that plays a key role in chromatin structure and gene regulation. Members of the KDM5 (also known as JARID1) sub-family are 2-oxoglutarate (2-OG) and Fe2+-dependent oxygenases acting as histone 3 lysine 4 trimethyl (H3K4me3) demethylases, regulating proliferation, stem cell self-renewal, and differentiation. Here we present the characterization of KDOAM-25, an inhibitor of KDM5 enzymes. KDOAM-25 shows biochemical half maximal inhibitory concentration values of <100 nM for KDM5A-D in vitro, high selectivity toward other 2-OG oxygenases sub-families, and no off-target activity on a panel of 55 receptors and enzymes. In human cell assay systems, KDOAM-25 has a half maximal effective concentration of ∼50 μM and good selectivity toward other demethylases. KDM5B is overexpressed in multiple myeloma and negatively correlated with the overall survival. Multiple myeloma MM1S cells treated with KDOAM-25 show increased global H3K4 methylation at transcriptional start sites and impaired proliferation.

Abstract
The complexity by which cells regulate gene and protein expression is multifaceted and intricate. Regulation of 3' untranslated region (UTR) processing of mRNA has been shown to play a critical role in development and disease. However, the process by which cells select alternative mRNA forms is not well understood. We discovered that the Saccharomyces cerevisiae lysine demethylase, Jhd2 (also known as KDM5), recruits 3'UTR processing machinery and promotes alteration of 3'UTR length for some genes in a demethylase-dependent manner. Interaction of Jhd2 with both chromatin and RNA suggests that Jhd2 affects selection of polyadenylation sites through a transcription-coupled mechanism. Furthermore, its mammalian homolog KDM5B (also known as JARID1B or PLU1), but not KDM5A (also known as JARID1A or RBP2), promotes shortening of CCND1 transcript in breast cancer cells. Consistent with these results, KDM5B expression correlates with shortened CCND1 in human breast tumor tissues. In contrast, both KDM5A and KDM5B are involved in the lengthening of DICER1. Our findings suggest both a novel role for this family of demethylases and a novel targetable mechanism for 3'UTR processing.

Abstract
Histone demethylases have recently gained interest as potential targets in cancer treatment and several histone demethylases have been implicated in the DNA damage response. We investigated the effects of siRNA-mediated depletion of histone demethylase Jarid1A (KDM5A, RBP2), which demethylates transcription activating tri- and dimethylated lysine 4 at histone H3 (H3K4me3/me2), on growth characteristics and cellular response to radiation in several cancer cell lines. In unirradiated cells Jarid1A depletion lead to histone hyperacetylation while not affecting cell growth. In irradiated cells, depletion of Jarid1A significantly increased cellular radiosensitivity. Unexpectedly, the hyperacetylation phenotype did not lead to disturbed accumulation of DNA damage response and repair factors 53BP1, BRCA1, or Rad51 at damage sites, nor did it influence resolution of radiation-induced foci or rejoining of reporter constructs. We conclude that the radiation sensitivity observed following depletion of Jarid1A is not caused by a deficiency in repair of DNA double-strand breaks.

Abstract
Background The H3K4 demethylase retinoblastoma binding protein 2 (RBP2) is involved in the pathogenesis of gastric cancer, but its role and regulation in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is unknown. We determined the function of RBP2 and its regulation in HCC in vitro and in human tissues. Methods We analyzed gene expression in 20 specimens each of human HCC and normal liver tissue by quantitative real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry. Proliferation was analyzed by foci formation and senescence by β-galactosidase staining. Promoter activity was detected by luciferase reporter assay. Results The expression of RBP2 was stronger in cancerous than non-cancerous tissues, but that of its binding microRNA, Homo sapiens miR-212 (hsa-miR-212), showed an opposite pattern. SiRNA knockdown of RBP2 significantly upregulated cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CDKIs), with suppression of HCC cell proliferation and induction of senescence. Overexpression of hsa-miR-212 suppressed RBP2 expression, with inhibited cell proliferation and induced cellular senescence, which coincided with upregulated CDKIs; with low hsa-miR-212 expression, CDKIs were downregulated in HCC tissue. Inhibition of hsa-miR-212 expression upregulated RBP2 expression. Luciferase reporter assay detected the direct binding of hsa-miR-212 to the RBP2 3′ UTR. Conclusions RBP2 is overexpressed in HCC and negatively regulated by hsa-miR-212. The hsa-miR-212–RBP2–CDKI pathway may be important in the pathogenesis of HCC.

Abstract
POU5F1 is essential for maintaining pluripotency in embryonic stem cells (ESCs). It has been reported that the constitutive activation of POU5F1 is sustained by the core transcriptional regulatory circuitry in ESCs; however, the means by which POU5F1 is epigenetically regulated remains enigmatic. In this study a fluorescence-based reporter system was used to monitor the interplay of 5 reprogramming-associated TFs and 17 chromatin regulators in the transcription of POU5F1. We show the existence of a stoichiometric effect for SOX2, POU5F1, NANOG, MYC and KLF4, in regulating POU5F1 transcription. Chromatin regulators EP300, KDM5A, KDM6A and KDM6B cooperate with KLF4 in promoting the transcription of POU5F1. Moreover, inhibiting HDAC activities induced the expression of Pou5f1 in mouse neural stem cells (NSCs) in a spatial- and temporal- dependent manner. Quantitative chromatin immunoprecipitation-PCR (ChIP-qPCR) shows that treatment with valproic acid (VPA) increases the recruitment of Kdm5a and Kdm6a to proximal promoter (PP) and proximal enhancer (PE) of Pou5f1 whereas enrichment of Ep300 and Kdm6b was seen in PP but not PE of Pou5f1 promoter. These findings reveal the interplay between the chromatin regulators and histone modifications in the expression of POU5F1.

Abstract
Epigenetic alterations induced by ionizing radiation may contribute to radiation carcinogenesis. To detect relative accumulations or losses of constitutive post-translational histone modifications in chromatin regions surrounding DNA double-strand breaks (DSB), we developed a method based on ion microirradiation and correlation of the signal intensities after immunofluorescence detection of the histone modification in question and the DSB marker γ-H2AX. We observed after ionizing irradiation markers for transcriptional silencing, such as accumulation of H3K27me3 and loss of active RNA polymerase II, at chromatin regions labeled by γ-H2AX. Confocal microscopy of whole nuclei and of ultrathin nuclear sections revealed that the histone modification H3K4me3, which labels transcriptionally active regions, is underrepresented in γ-H2AX foci. While some exclusion of H3K4me3 is already evident at the earliest time amenable to this kind of analysis, the anti-correlation apparently increases with time after irradiation, suggesting an active removal process. Focal accumulation of the H3K4me3 demethylase, JARID1A, was observed at damaged regions inflicted by laser irradiation, suggesting involvement of this enzyme in the DNA damage response. Since no accumulation of the repressive mark H3K9me2 was found at damaged sites, we suggest that DSB-induced transcriptional silencing resembles polycomb-mediated silencing rather than heterochromatic silencing.

Abstract
In animals, circadian oscillators are based on a transcription-translation circuit that revolves around the transcription factors CLOCK and BMAL1. We found that the JumonjiC (JmjC) and ARID domain-containing histone lysine demethylase 1a (JARID1a) formed a complex with CLOCK-BMAL1, which was recruited to the Per2 promoter. JARID1a increased histone acetylation by inhibiting histone deacetylase 1 function and enhanced transcription by CLOCK-BMAL1 in a demethylase-independent manner. Depletion of JARID1a in mammalian cells reduced Per promoter histone acetylation, dampened expression of canonical circadian genes, and shortened the period of circadian rhythms. Drosophila lines with reduced expression of the Jarid1a homolog, lid, had lowered Per expression and similarly altered circadian rhythms. JARID1a thus has a nonredundant role in circadian oscillator function.

Abstract
In many organisms early embryogenesis is characterised by a period refractory to transcription. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the one-cell embryo is transcriptionally inactive, but at around eight-cell stage transcription is activated in the somatic lineage. This model suggests that histone tail modifications associated with activation of transcription, such as di- or trimethylation of histone 3 on lysine 4 (H3K4me2/me3) should be enriched in the somatic lineage. Here, we have investigated the deposition of H3K4me3 during embryogenesis and found that it is more dynamic than anticipated. In the eight-cell stage embryo, H3K4me3 deposition is poor in the germline blastomere, as expected, but surprisingly three somatic blastomeres also remain poor in H3K4me3. All the other somatic blastomeres show robust deposition of H3K4me3. Interestingly, the three somatic blastomeres poor in H3K4me3 are descendants of the first germline blastomere, implying an activity that impedes on H3K4me3 deposition in these cells. In contrast, the deposition of H3K4me2 and H3K27me2/3 is not lineage restricted. Taken together, our data reveal that H3K4me3 deposition is highly regulated according to the cell lineage involved.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of retinoblastoma binding protein 2 (RBP-2), a histone H3K4 demethylase, on osteogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived stromal cell (hASC). METHODS According to the GenBank sequence information of RBP-2, four different small interfering RNAs (siRNA) targeting RBP-2 gene were designed and the corresponding short hairpin RNAs (shRNA) were cloned into pLL 3.7 lentivirus RNA interference vector. The lentivirus with RBP-2-siRNA was packaged in 293T cells. The effective sequence was examined and selected by Western blotting and real-time PCR. The lentiviruses with efficient knockdown effects were used to infect hASC. On the 14th day after osteogenic differentiation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities of hASC were quantitatively tested and at the same time, ALP staining and alizarin red staining were performed to assess the difference of osteogenic differentiation between the knockdown group and the control group. RESULTS The recombinant lentivirus siRNA targeting RBP-2 was successfully constructed and the expression of RBP-2 mRNA and protein were dramatically suppressed by infection with RBP-2-siRNA lentivirus. On the 14th day after osteogenic induction, ALP activity of hASC in the knockdown group [(299.2 ± 22.7), (224.3 ± 17.7) U/g] was much stronger than that in the control group [(129.9 ± 12.9) U/g, P < 0.05] and the same result was achieved for the ALP staining and alizarin red staining. CONCLUSIONS The constructed RBP-2-siRNA lentivirus could markedly decrease the expression of RBP-2 and promote osteogenic differentiation of hASC. It indicated that RBP-2 can repress the osteogenic differentiation of hASC.
