Abstract
Body fat accumulation differs between males and females and is influenced by both gonadal sex (ovaries vs testes) and chromosomal sex (XX vs XY). We previously showed that an X chromosome gene, Kdm5c, is expressed at higher levels in females compared to males and correlates with adiposity in mice and humans. Kdm5c encodes a KDM5 histone demethylase that regulates gene expression by modulating histone methylation at gene promoters and enhancers. Here, we use chemical inhibition and genetic knockdown to identify a role for KDM5 activity during early stages of white and brown preadipocyte differentiation, with specific effects on white adipocyte clonal expansion, and white and brown adipocyte gene expression and mitochondrial activity. In white adipogenesis, KDM5 activity modulates H3K4 histone methylation at the Dlk1 gene promoter to repress gene expression and promote progression from preadipocytes to mature adipocytes. In brown adipogenesis, KDM5 activity modulates H3K4 methylation and gene expression of Ucp1, which is required for thermogenesis. Unbiased transcriptome analysis revealed that KDM5 activity regulates genes associated with cell cycle regulation and mitochondrial function, and this was confirmed by functional analyses of cell proliferation and cellular bioenergetics. Using genetic knockdown, we demonstrate that KDM5C is the likely KDM5 family member that is responsible for regulation of white and brown preadipocyte programming. Given that KDM5C levels are higher in females compared to males, our findings suggest that sex differences in white and brown preadipocyte gene regulation may contribute to sex differences in adipose tissue function.

Abstract
The last decade has seen great advances in genomic profiling and prognosis-associated factors of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC), the most common entity in kidney cancer. Following VHL, PBRM1, SETD2, BAP1, and KDM5C have been validated as the most common co-occurring gene mutations in clear cell RCC by multicenter studies. However, the morphological features of clear cell RCC with co-occurring gene mutations remain unclear. In this study, we presented 20 clear cell RCCs that underwent next-generation sequencing, of which 1 tumor was reclassified as ELOC-mutated RCC. PBRM1, SETD2, BAP1, and KDM5C were the most common mutations, following VHL. Morphologically, clear cell RCC with PBRM1 or KDM5C mutation usually displayed a low-grade pattern. Cystic changes and hyalinized stroma were often observed. The Ki67 index was <10%. These observations indicated good prognosis. However, mutated SETD2 may increase the malignancy of clear cell RCC with PBRM1 mutation. Two clear cell RCCs with mutated PBRM1 and SETD2 developed local or distant metastases. Clear cell RCC with BAP1 mutations always had high-grade patterns, and rhabdoid differentiation was also observed, indicating that BAP1 mutation was associated with poor outcomes. Papillary architecture was often a feature of BAP1 mutation, which is uncommon in clear cell RCC. PDL1 was positive in only one tumor with BAP1 mutation, and the positivity rate was limited to 5%. B7H3 was negative in all tumors. Morphologic findings in this small cohort may suggest why PBRM1 mutation does not correlate with decreased survival, whereas BAP1 mutation usually predicts poor outcomes.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) remains the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men worldwide and is still the second leading cause of cancer-related death. One major cause of PCa development is epigenetic aberration, including histone modification. We have previously demonstrated that Lysine Demethylase 5C (KDM5C) plays an essential role in the development of PCa and drives PCa progression by promoting epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Epigenetic regulators often work in concert, for example, to regulate transcription. We identified Paraspeckle Component 1 (PSPC1) as an interacting protein of KDM5C, suggesting that these proteins might function together in PCa. Here, we systematically investigate the expression patterns of KDM5C and PSPC1 in 2 independent prostate cohorts (432 and 205 prostate tumors in total for PSPC1 and KDM5C, respectively) by immunohistochemistry. We demonstrate that the expression of PSPC1 correlates with that of KDM5C. In addition, PSPC1 is up-regulated in primary and metastatic PCa. Elevated PSPC1 expression correlates with a higher-grade group and an advanced T-stage. Patients with high PSPC1 expression have a worse biochemical recurrence-free survival. In addition, PSPC1 expression is an independent prognostic parameter. Our data indicate that KDM5C and PSPC1 are involved in PCa progression, and therapeutic inhibition of KDM5C and PSPC1 by selective compounds might be a promising approach for the treatment of PCa.

Abstract
Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (VEGFR-TKIs) are key antiangiogenic drugs for renal cancer treatment. While Von Hippel-Lindau dysfunction constitutes the base for VEGFR-TKIs sensitivity, the role for individual and concurrent mutations in the genes encoding for the chromatin remodelers Polybromo-1 (PBRM1) and Lysine Demethylase 5C (KDM5C) is poorly understood. Here, we analyzed the tumor mutational and expression profiles of 155 unselected clear cell RCC (ccRCC) cases treated with first-line VEGFR-TKIs and the ccRCC cases of IMmotion151 trial were used for validation. We found that concurrent PBRM1 and KDM5C (PBRM1&KDM5C) mutations occurred in 4-9% of cases and were enriched in Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center favorable-risk patients. In our cohort, tumors only mutated in PBRM1 or concurrently mutated in PBRM1 and KDM5C had increased angiogenesis (P=0.0068 and 0.039; respectively), and tumors only mutated in KDM5C showed a similar trend. Best response to VEGFR-TKIs corresponded to PBRM1&KDM5C mutated cases, followed by those mutated only in KDM5C or only in PBRM1 (P=0.050, 0.040 and 0.027 versus non-mutated cases, respectively), with a trend for longer progression free survival (PFS) in the group with only PBRM1 mutated (HR=0.64; P=0.059). Validation in the IMmotion151 trial revealed a similar correlation with increased angiogenesis and the PFS of patients in the VEGFR-TKI-arm was the longest in PBRM1&KDM5C mutated cases, intermediate for only PBRM1 or only KDM5C mutated patients and the shortest in non-mutated cases (P=0.009 and 0.025, for PBRM1&KDM5C and PBRM1 versus non-mutated cases). In conclusion, somatic PBRM1 and KDM5C mutations are common in patients with metastatic ccRCC and likely cooperate increasing tumor angiogenesis and VEGFR-TKI-based antiangiogenic therapy benefit.

Abstract
Background Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common renal malignancy, and may metastasize to different sites in the body via hematogenous and lymphomatous routes. The pancreas is a rare metastatic site of metastatic RCC (mRCC) and isolated pancreatic metastasis of RCC (isPMRCC) is even rarer. Results The present report describes a case of isPMRCC that recurred 16 years after surgery. The patient responded well to the treatment with pancreaticoduodenectomy and systemic therapy, and no recurrence was recorded after 2 years. Conclusions isPMRCC is a distinct subgroup of RCC with unique clinical characteristics that may be explained by its underlying molecular mechanisms. Surgery and systemic therapy confer survival benefits to patients with isPMRCCs, although the recurrence problem has to be paid attention to.

Abstract
Histone lysine methyltransferase and demethylase enzymes play a central role in chromatin organization and gene expression through the dynamic regulation of histone lysine methylation. Consistent with this, genes encoding for histone lysine methyltransferases (KMTs) and demethylases (KDMs) are involved in complex human syndromes, termed congenital regulopathies. In this report, we present several lines of evidence for the involvement of these genes in developmental ocular phenotypes, suggesting that individuals with structural eye defects, especially when accompanied by craniofacial, neurodevelopmental and growth abnormalities, should be examined for possible variants in these genes. We identified nine heterozygous damaging genetic variants in KMT2D (5) and four other histone lysine methyltransferases/demethylases (KMT2C, SETD1A/KMT2F, KDM6A and KDM5C) in unrelated families affected with developmental eye disease, such as Peters anomaly, sclerocornea, Axenfeld-Rieger spectrum, microphthalmia and coloboma. Two families were clinically diagnosed with Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome and two were diagnosed with Peters plus-like syndrome; others received no specific diagnosis prior to genetic testing. All nine alleles were novel and five of them occurred de novo; five variants resulted in premature truncation, three were missense changes and one was an in-frame deletion/insertion; and seven variants were categorized as pathogenic or likely pathogenic and two were variants of uncertain significance. This study expands the phenotypic spectra associated with KMT and KDM factors and highlights the importance of genetic testing for correct clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
The widespread availability of genetic testing for those with neurodevelopmental disorders has highlighted the importance of many genes necessary for the proper development and function of the nervous system. One gene found to be genetically altered in the X-linked intellectual disability disorder Claes-Jensen syndrome is KDM5C, which encodes a histone demethylase that regulates transcription by altering chromatin. While the genetic link between KDM5C and cognitive (dys)function is clear, how KDM5C functions to control transcriptional programs within neurons to impact their growth and activity remains the subject of ongoing research. Here, we review our current knowledge of Claes-Jensen syndrome and discuss important new data using model organisms that have revealed the importance of KDM5C in regulating aspects of neuronal development and function. Continued research into the molecular and cellular activities regulated by KDM5C is expected to provide critical etiological insights into Claes-Jensen syndrome and highlight potential targets for developing therapies to improve the quality of life of those affected.

Abstract
KDM5C encodes a demethylase of the histone H3 lysine 4 residue, involved in chromatin regulation and gene expression. Hemizygous KDM5C pathogenic variants cause X-linked intellectual disability of Claes-Jensen type. Because of its mode of inheritance and the low specificity of the clinical phenotype, interpretation of variants can be difficult, hence the need for functional studies and biomarkers specific to this disorder. We present the case of a male patient with intellectual disability, behavioral abnormalities and subtle dysmorphic features, in which genetic investigation identified a hemizygous novel missense KDM5C variant of uncertain significance (VUS), inherited from his asymptomatic mother and present in his paucisymptomatic sister. We assessed the global genomic DNA methylation status from a whole blood sample of the proband. Global DNA methylation profiling specifically identified the recently discovered epi-signature of Claes-Jensen syndrome. This result served as a biomarker which independently highlighted KDM5C as the cause of the disorder in this patient. Because of the X-linked mode of inheritance, variant reclassification had a high impact on genetic counseling in this family. This example highlights the value of global methylome profiling in situations of variants of uncertain significance in genes with a known specific epi-signature.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a type of stress caused by an insufficient supply of oxygen. Macroautophagy/autophagy, a well-conserved pathway, is induced during hypoxia; however, the exact mechanism by which autophagy is regulated in a hypoxic environment remains to be elucidated. A recent study by Li et al. shed light on how hypoxia can regulate early steps of autophagy induction. In this study, the authors discovered a novel symmetrical dimethylation of ULK1 at arginine 170 (R170me2s) that accumulates during hypoxia and increases ULK1 kinase activity by promoting autophosphorylation of ULK1 at T180. The authors identified PRMT5 and KDM5C as the primary methyltransferase and demethylase regulating ULK1 R170me2s and show that the lack of oxygen directly leads to reduced activity of KDM5C, which is likely the cause of accumulation of ULK1 R170me2s during hypoxia. Furthermore, the authors showed that ULK1 R170me2s promotes mitochondrial turnover and maintains cell viability in response to hypoxia stress. Together these data provide a new perspective on how the oxygen level regulates autophagy induction and show the physiological role of ULK1 R170me2s.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the roles of the lysine (K)-specific demethylase 5C (KDM5C)-bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7) signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of severe preeclampsia (sPE). A total of 180 pregnant patients were enrolled in the study and classified into three groups: an early-onset sPE group (EOsPE) (n = 60), a late-onset sPE group (LOsPE) (n = 60), and a control group (normal pregnancy; n = 60). The messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein expression levels of bone morphogenetic protein receptor II (BMPRII), BMP-7, and KDM5C were detected in placenta samples from the two sPE groups, and their sites were evaluated using immunohistochemistry (IHC). The sPE groups showed an increased KDM5C mRNA expression, and the EOsPE group showed a decreased BMP-7 and BMPRII mRNA expression compared with the LOsPE group. However, contradictory results were discovered in terms of protein expression. Immunostaining of KDM5C, BMP-7, and BMPRII was observed in villous trophoblast and extravillous trophoblast cells. Compared with the control group, the staining intensity of KDM5C in the placental tissue trophoblast cell nucleus and vascular endothelial cells of the sPE groups was weaker, while that of BMP-7 and BMPRII was stronger, and the staining intensity was more subjective in the LOsPE group. Consistent findings were obtained by IHC and Western blot analysis. KDM5C nuclear-cytoplasmic translocation may regulate sPE through BMP-7 and its receptors. The KDM5C-BMP-7 signaling pathway may also lead to less invasion and increased apoptosis of the trophoblast cells, which is involved in the pathogenesis of sPE.

Abstract
Background Pathogenic variants in KDM5C are a cause of X-linked intellectual disability in males. Other features in males include short stature, dysmorphic features, seizures and spasticity. In some instances, female relatives were noted to have learning difficulties and mild intellectual disabilities, but full phenotypic descriptions were often incomplete. Recently, detailed phenotypic features of five affected females with de novo variants were described. (Clin Genet 98:43–55, 2020) Four individuals had a protein truncating variant and 1 individual had a missense variant. All five individuals had developmental delay/intellectual disability and three neurological features. Case presentation Here we report a three-year-old female with global developmental delay, hypotonia and ataxia. Through whole exome sequencing, a de novo c.1516A > G (p.Met506Val) variant in KDM5C was identified. This missense variant is in the jumonji-C domain of this multi domain protein where other missense variants have been previously reported in KDM5C related disorder. The KDM5C gene is highly intolerant to functional variation which suggests its pathogenicity. The probands motor delays and language impairment is consistent with other reported female patients with de novo variants in KDM5C. However, other features reported in females (distinctive facial features, skeletal abnormalities, short stature and endocrine features) were absent. To the best of our knowledge, our proband is the first female patient reported with a diagnosis of ataxia. Conclusions This case report provides evidence for an emerging and phenotypic variability that adds to the literature of the role of KDM5C in females with neurodevelopmental disorders as well as movement disorders.

Abstract
Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is characterized by glycogen-laden, unexplained male predominance, and frequent mutations in the Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) gene and histone modifier genes. Besides, poor survival rates of ccRCC patients seem to be associated with up-regulation of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP). However, the mechanism underlying these features remains unclear. Methods: Whole exome sequencing was used to identify the gene mutation that implicated in the rewired glucose metabolism. RNA-seq analyses were performed to evaluate the function of KDM5C in ccRCC. Furthermore, heavy isotope tracer analysis and metabolites quantification assays were used to study how KDM5C affects intracellular metabolic flux. To provide more in vivo evidence, we generated the Kdm5c-/- mice by CRISPR-Cas9 mediated gene knockout and performed the xenografts with KDM5C overexpressing or depleted cell lines. Results: A histone demethylase gene KDM5C, which can escape from X-inactivation and is predominantly mutated in male ccRCC patients, was identified to harbor the frameshift mutation in the ccRCC cell line with the highest glycogen level, while the restoration of KDM5C significantly reduced the glycogen level. Transcriptome and metabolomic analysis linked KDM5C to metabolism-related biological processes. KDM5C specifically regulated the expression of several hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-related genes and Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) that were involved in glycogenesis/glycogenolysis and PPP, respectively, mainly through the histone demethylase activity of KDM5C. Depletion of KDM5C increased the production of glycogen, which was then directed to glycogenolysis to generate glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) and subsequently PPP to produce nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate hydride (NADPH) and glutathione (GSH), thus conferring cells resistance to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ferroptosis. KDM5C re-expression suppressed the glucose flux through PPP and re-sensitized cancer cells to ferroptosis. Notably, Kdm5c-knockout mice kidney tissues exhibited elevated glycogen level, reduced lipid peroxidation and displayed a transformation of renal cysts into hyperplastic lesions, implying a cancer-protective benefit of ferroptosis. Furthermore, KDM5C deficiency predicted the poor prognosis, and clinically relevant KDM5C mutants failed to suppress glycogen accumulation and promoted ferroptosis as wild type. Conclusion: This work revealed that a histone modifier gene inactive mutation reprogramed glycogen metabolism and helped to explain the long-standing puzzle of male predominance in human cancer. In addition, our findings may suggest the therapeutic value of targeting glycogen metabolism in ccRCC.

Abstract
Dysregulation of transcriptional pathways is observed in multiple forms of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), such as intellectual disability (ID), epilepsy and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We previously demonstrated that the NDD genes encoding lysine-specific demethylase 5C (KDM5C) and its transcriptional regulators Aristaless related-homeobox (ARX), PHD Finger Protein 8 (PHF8) and Zinc Finger Protein 711 (ZNF711) are functionally connected. Here, we show their relation to each other with respect to the expression levels in human and mouse datasets and in vivo mouse analysis indicating that the coexpression of these syntenic X-chromosomal genes is temporally regulated in brain areas and cellular sub-types. In co-immunoprecipitation assays, we found that the homeotic transcription factor ARX interacts with the histone demethylase PHF8, indicating that this transcriptional axis is highly intersected. Furthermore, the functional impact of pathogenic mutations of ARX, KDM5C, PHF8 and ZNF711 was tested in lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) derived from children with varying levels of syndromic ID establishing the direct correlation between defects in the KDM5C-H3K4me3 pathway and ID severity. These findings reveal novel insights into epigenetic processes underpinning NDD pathogenesis and provide new avenues for assessing developmental timing and critical windows for potential treatments.

Abstract
Loss of function variants in the lysine demethylase 5C (KDM5C) gene account for approximately 0.7-2.8% of X-linked intellectual disability (ID) cases and pose significant burdens for patients and their caregivers. To date, 45 unique variants in KDM5C have been reported in individuals with ID. As a rare disorder, its etiology and natural history remain an area of active investigation, with treatment limited to symptom management. Previous studies have found that males present with moderate to severe ID with significant syndromic comorbidities such as epilepsy, short stature, and craniofacial abnormalities. Although not as well characterized, females have been reported to predominantly display mild to moderate ID with approximately half being asymptomatic. Here, we present caregiver-reported data for 37 unrelated individuals with pathogenic variants in KDM5C; the largest cohort reported to-date. We find that up to 70% of affected females were reported to display syndromic features including gastrointestinal dysfunction and hearing impairment. Additionally, more than half of individuals reported a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder or described features consistent with this spectrum. Our data thus provide further evidence of sexually dimorphic heterogeneity in disease presentation and suggest that pathogenic variants in KDM5C may be more common than previously assumed.

Abstract
Lysine (K)-specific demethylase 5C (KDM5C) plays a significant role in the tumor cell proliferation, invasion, drug resistance and the regulation of tumor-related gene expression. Here, we aimed to investigate its predictive value in patients with cancers received immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). We explored the predictive value of KDM5C alterations and the association between KDM5C alteration and immune landscape by using published cohort with clinical outcome and sequenced data from online database. The frequency of KDM5C alterations was 2.1% across 48045 tumor samples with different cancers from 185 studies. KDM5C alterations were correlated with markedly inferior overall survival (OS, 53 vs. 102 months, P<0.0001) than those without. However, in ICI-treated group, patients with KDM5C alterations had a substantially prolonged OS than the wild-type group (not reached vs. 18 months, P=0.0041). The predictive value of KDM5C alterations for ICI treatment outcome was not observed in patients with microsatellite-stable tumors (P=0.2875). Intriguingly, patients with non-small-cell lung cancer and KDM5C alterations receiving ICI had the better progression-free survival than wild type group (13.2 vs. 3.2 months, P=0.0762). Mechanistically, KDM5C altered tumors had dramatically higher TMB level and was associated with significantly higher level of CD8+ T cell infiltration and T effector signature. In conclusion, KDM5C alterations was correlated with enhanced tumor immunogenicity and inflamed anti-tumor immunity, thus resulting in better treatment outcome in cancer patients receiving ICIs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stroke is a sexually dimorphic disease. Previous studies have found that young females are protected against ischemia compared to males, partially due to the protective effect of ovarian hormones, particularly estrogen (E2). However, there are also genetic and epigenetic effects of X chromosome dosage that contribute to stroke sensitivity and neuroinflammation after injury, especially in the aged. Genes that escape from X chromosome inactivation (XCI) contribute to sex-specific phenotypes in many disorders. Kdm5c and kdm6a are X escapee genes that demethylate H3K4me3 and H3K27me3, respectively. We hypothesized that the two demethylases play critical roles in mediating the stroke sensitivity. METHODS To identify the X escapee genes involved in stroke, we performed RNA-seq in flow-sorted microglia from aged male and female wild type (WT) mice subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). The expression of these genes (kdm5c/kdm6a) were confirmed in four core genotypes (FCG) mice and in post-mortem human stroke brains by immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western blot, and RT-PCR. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays were conducted to detect DNA levels of inflammatory interferon regulatory factor (IRF) 4/5 precipitated by histone H3K4 and H3K27 antibodies. Manipulation of kdm5c/kdm6a expression with siRNA or lentivirus was performed in microglial culture, to determine downstream pathways and examine the regulatory roles in inflammatory cytokine production. RESULTS Kdm5c and kdm6a mRNA levels were significantly higher in aged WT female vs. male microglia, and the sex difference also existed in ischemic brains from FCG mice and human stroke patients. The ChIP assay showed the IRF 4/5 had higher binding levels to demethylated H3K4 or H3K27, respectively, in female vs. male ischemic microglia. Knockdown or over expression of kdm5c/kdm6a with siRNA or lentivirus altered the methylation of H3K4 or H3K27 at the IRF4/5 genes, which in turn, impacted the production of inflammatory cytokines. CONCLUSIONS The KDM-Histone-IRF pathways are suggested to mediate sex differences in cerebral ischemia. Epigenetic modification of stroke-related genes constitutes an important mechanism underlying the ischemic sexual dimorphism.

Abstract
Background KDM5C, a histone H3K4-specific demethylase, possess various biological functions in development of cancers. However, its relation to the microRNA (miRNA) regulation in lung cancer remains unknown. This study aims to study the regulatory role of KDM5C on modification of miR-133a in the progression of lung cancer. Methods Differentially expressed miRNAs were filtered from 34 paired lung cancer and paracancerous tissues. The correlation between miR-133a expression and the prognosis of lung cancer patients was determined by a bioinformatics website. Furthermore, malignant aggressiveness of lung cancer cells was detected after miR-133a upregulation by CCK-8, flow cytometry, and Transwell assays and in vivo tumorigenesis and metastasis experiments. Subsequently, we analyzed mRNA downregulated in cells overexpressing miR-133a using m microarray analysis and expounded the upstream regulatory mechanism of miR-133a using bioinformatics website prediction and functional validation. Results miR-133a was reduced in lung cancer tissues, and patients with low expression of miR-133a have worse survival rates. miR-133a restoration curtailed growth and metastasis of lung cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, miR-133a downregulated PTBP1 expression, whereas overexpression of PTBP1 attenuated the suppressive effect of miR-133a on lung cancer cell aggressiveness. The level of methylation modification of miR-133a was reduced in lung cancer cells. KDM5C inhibited the expression of miR-133a by promoting the demethylation modification of its promoter histone. Conclusion Histone demethylase KDM5C inhibits the expression of miR-133a by elevating the demethylation modification of the promoter histone of miR-133a, thereby promoting the expression of PTBP1, which finally accelerates lung cancer cell growth and metastasis.

Abstract
As one of the most common cancers in female, ovarian cancer (OC) has become a serious public burden now. Mounting researches have indicated long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can affect many biological processes including cancer development. LncRNA LBX2-AS1 was identified to be an oncogene in some cancers, but the role of LBX2-AS1 in OC remains to be elucidated. Bioinformatics analysis and experiments including ChIP, RT-qPCR, RIP, luciferase reporter, western blot and CCK-8 were performed to explore the role of LBX2-AS1 in OC. LBX2-AS1 expression was markedly increased in OC tissues and cell lines. Functionally, LBX2-AS1 silencing inhibited cell proliferation, migration and stemness but facilitated cell apoptosis in OC. Moreover, depletion of LBX2-AS1 suppressed tumor growth of OC in vivo. Mechanically, LBX2-AS1 was activated by transcriptional factor ELK1. ELK1 enhanced the expression of LBX2-AS1 in OC cells. In addition, miR-4784 was confirmed to be sponged by LBX2-AS1. There was a negative expression correlation between LBX2-AS1 and miR-4784 in OC tissues. Subsequently, KDM5C was identified to be a direct target of miR-4784 in OC cells. KDM5C was negatively regulated by miR-4784 and positively regulated by LBX2-AS1 in terms of expression level. Upregulation of KDM5C reversed the inhibitory effect of LBX2-AS1 depletion on the progression of OC. This study proved that ELK1 activated-LBX2-AS1 aggravated the progression of OC by targeting the miR-4784/KDM5C axis, suggesting that LBX2-AS2 may be a promising diagnostic biomarker of OC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The sequencing of the renal cell carcinoma (RCC) genome has detected several mutations with prognostic meaning. The association between visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is well known. The relationship among abdominal adipose tissue distribution and ccRCC-VHL and KDM5C genetic mutations is, to the knowledge of the authors, not known. METHODS In this retrospective study, we enrolled 97 Caucasian male patients divided into three groups: the control group (n = 35), the ccRCC-VHL group (n = 52) composed of ccRCC patients with VHL mutations and ccRCC-KDM5C group (n = 10) composed of ccRCC patients with KDM5C mutation. Total adipose tissue (TAT) area, VAT area and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) area were measured in the groups. VAT/SAT ratio was calculated for each subject. RESULTS Statistically significant differences between ccRCC-KDM5C group and ccRCC-VHL group were obtained for TAT area (p < 0.05), VAT area (p < 0.05) and VAT/SAT ratio (p < 0.05); between ccRCC-VHL group and control group for TAT area (p < 0.001) and VAT area (p < 0.01); and between ccRCC-KDM5C group and control group for TAT area (p < 0.0001), VAT area (p < 0.0001) and SAT area (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates for the first time an increased amount of TAT, especially VAT, in the ccRCC-VHL and ccRCC-KDM5C groups. The effect was greater for the ccRCC-KDM5C group.

Abstract
Emerging evidence suggests that long non‐coding RNA (lncRNA) plays an important role in disease development, particularly in cancers. Recent studies with genome‐wide sequencing on cervical squamous cell carcinoma and matched adjacent non‐tumour tissues showed that a newly identified lncRNA‐lnc_000231 was highly expressed in cervical cancers. However, the underlying mechanism through which it is activated and its role in cervical cancer progression is still unclear. In this study, first, we confirmed that lnc_000231 is up‐regulated in cervical cancer cells and tumour tissues. Mechanically, we demonstrated that E6 up‐regulates lnc_000231 expression through promoting its promoter region H3K4me3 modification by destabilizing KDM5C. In vitro and in vivo results showed that lnc_000231 promotes cervical cancer cell proliferation and tumour formation by acting as miR‐497‐5p sponge and maintaining cyclin E1 (CCNE1) expression. Thus, our studies identified a new signalling pathway through which E6 promotes cervical cancer progression. E6 hijacked KDM5C/lnc_000231/miR‐497‐5p/CCNE1 signalling pathway is a promising target for cervical cancer treatment in the future.

Abstract
AIMS This study focused on investigating the potential role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) lysyl oxidase like 1 antisense RNA 1 (LOXL1-AS1) in the progression of osteoarthritis (OA). MATERIALS AND METHODS qRT-PCR assay was applied to detect gene expression, while western blot was performed to measure levels of apoptosis-related proteins. CCK-8, colony formation and TUNEL assays were conducted to explore the functional role of LOXL1-AS1 in OA. ChIP assay was utilized to assess the affinity between JunD proto-oncogene, AP-1 transcription factor subunit (JUND) and LOXL1-AS1 promoter. Mechanism experiments were implemented to investigate the underlying molecular mechanism of LOXL1-AS1. KEY FINDINGS LOXL1-AS1 was up-regulated in OA cartilage tissues. Silencing LOXL1-AS1 hampered proliferation and inflammation, yet promoting apoptosis in chondrocytes. LOXL1-AS1 was transcriptionally activated by JUND1. LOXL1-AS1 sequestered miR-423-5p and abolished miR-423-5p-mediated repression on lysine demethylase 5C (KDM5C), thus promoted the development of OA. SIGNIFICANCE LncRNA LOXL1-AS1 is transcriptionally activated by JUND and facilitates the proliferation and inflammation of chondrocytes via elevating miR-423-5p-mediated KDM5C in OA, which may provide potential therapeutic target for OA.

Abstract
Background: KDM5C is a histone H3K4-specific demethylase, which has multiple biological functions during development and disease. However, the role of KDM5C in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) remains unknown. Methods: Expression levels of KDM5C in ICC patients were determined by qRT-PCR, western blotting and immunohistochemical assay. The functions of KDM5C in cell proliferation and invasion were determined in human ICC cells and mouse xenograft model using KDM5C overexpression and knockdown strategies in vivo. RNA-seq analysis was applied to investigate the transcriptional program of KDM5C. In addition, ChIP-qPCR was used to determine the regulation of FASN by KDM5C. Results: Here, we show that KDM5C was downregulated in human ICC, where its diminished expression was associated with poor prognosis. ICC cell proliferation and invasion were inhibited by KDM5C overexpression. Moreover, KDM5C suppressed ICC proliferation and metastasis in vivo. RNA-sequencing showed that KDM5C inhibits key signal pathways of cell proliferation, cell invasion and fatty acid metabolism. ChIP-qPCR revealed that overexpression of KDM5C led to the reduction of H3K4me3 on the promoter and the corresponding downregulation of the expression of FASN, which represents the major target gene of KDM5C to mediate the proliferation and invasion of ICC cells. Conclusions: Our results revealed the role of KDM5C as a novel tumor suppressor in ICC largely by repressing FASN-mediated lipid acid metabolism and thus KDM5C may contribute to the pathogenesis of ICC.

Abstract
The lysine demethylases KDM5B and KDM5C are highly, but transiently, expressed in porcine embryos around the genome activation stage. Attenuation of KDM5B and KDM5C mRNA hampered embryo development to the blastocyst stage in fertilized, parthenogenetically activated and nuclear transfer embryos. While KDM5B attenuation increased H3K4me2-3 levels on D3 embryos and H3K4me1-2-3 on D5 embryos, KDM5C attenuation increased H3K9me1 on D3 embryos, and H3K9me1 and H3K4me1 on D5 embryos. The relative mRNA abundance of EIF1AX and EIF2A on D3 embryos, and the proportion of D4 embryos presenting a fluorescent signal for uridine incorporation were severely reduced in both KDM5B- and KDM5C-attenuated compared to control embryos, which indicate a delay in the initiation of the embryo transcriptional activity. Moreover, KDM5B and KDM5C attenuation affected DNA damage response and increased DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), and decreased development of UV-irradiated embryos. Findings from this study revealed that both KDM5B and KDM5C are important regulators of early development in porcine embryos as their attenuation altered H3K4 and H3K9 methylation patterns, perturbed embryo genome activation, and decreased DNA damage repair capacity.

Abstract
Mutations in KDM5C (lysine (K)-specific demethylase 5C) were causally associated with up to 3% of X-linked intellectual disability (ID) in males. By exome and Sanger sequencing, a novel frameshift KDM5C variant, predicted to eliminate the JmjC catalytic domain from the protein, was identified in two monozygotic twins and their older brother, which was inherited from their clinically normal mother, who had completely skewed X-inactivation. DNA methylation (DNAm) data were evaluated using the Illumina 450 K Methylation Beadchip arrays. Comparison of methylation levels between the three patients and male controls identified 399 differentially methylated CpG sites, which were enriched among those CpG sites modulated during brain development. Most of them were hypomethylated (72%), and located mainly in shores, whereas the hypermethylated CpGs were more represented in open sea regions. The DNAm changes did not differ between the monozygotic twins nor between them and their older sibling, all presenting a global hypomethylation, similar to other studies that associated DNA methylation changes to different KDM5C mutations. The 38 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) were enriched for H3K4me3 marks identified in developing brains. The remarkable similarity between the methylation changes in the monozygotic twins and their older brother is indicative that these epigenetic changes were mostly driven by the KDM5C mutation.

Abstract
While studies have identified a number of mutations in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), the list may still be incomplete and contribution to the pathogenesis remains unclear. We analyzed the mutational landscape of four mantle cell lymphoma biopsies obtained during an 8-year period from the same patient with his normal cells serving as control; we also established a cell line from the final stage of the disease. Numerous mutations with high allelic burden have been identified in all four biopsies. While a large subset of mutations was seen only in individual biopsies, the core of 21 mutations persisted throughout the disease. This mutational core is also maintained in the cell line that also displays DNA-methylation and cytokine secretion profiles of the primary mantle cell lymphoma cells. This cell line is uniquely sensitive to clinically relevant inhibitors of Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase. The response to Bruton Tyrosine Kinase's inhibition is enhanced by inhibitors of CDK4/6 and mTOR. Among the mutations seen in the primary and cultured MCL cells, mutations of three genes are involved in the control of H3K4 methylation: demethylase KDM5C, present already in the early disease, and methyltransferase KMT2D and cofactor BCOR, both of which are seen late in the disease and are novel and predicted to be pathogenic. The presence of these mutations was associated with hypermethylation of H3K4. Restoration of KDM5C expression affected expression of numerous genes involved in cell proliferation, adherence/movement, and invasiveness.

Abstract
Whereas VHL inactivation is a primary event in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the precise mechanism(s) of how this interacts with the secondary mutations in tumor suppressor genes, including PBRM1, KDM5C/JARID1C, SETD2, and/or BAP1, remains unclear. Gene expression analyses reveal that VHL, PBRM1, or KDM5C share a common regulation of interferon response expression signature. Loss of HIF2α, PBRM1, or KDM5C in VHL-/-cells reduces the expression of interferon stimulated gene factor 3 (ISGF3), a transcription factor that regulates the interferon signature. Moreover, loss of SETD2 or BAP1 also reduces the ISGF3 level. Finally, ISGF3 is strongly tumor-suppressive in a xenograft model as its loss significantly enhances tumor growth. Conversely, reactivation of ISGF3 retards tumor growth by PBRM1-deficient ccRCC cells. Thus after VHL inactivation, HIF induces ISGF3, which is reversed by the loss of secondary tumor suppressors, suggesting that this is a key negative feedback loop in ccRCC.

Abstract
Background Claes-Jensen syndrome is an X-linked inherited intellectual disability caused by mutations in the KDM5C gene. Kdm5c is a histone lysine demethylase involved in histone modifications and chromatin remodeling. Males with hemizygous mutations in KDM5C present with intellectual disability and facial dysmorphism, while most heterozygous female carriers are asymptomatic. We hypothesized that loss of Kdm5c function may influence other components of the epigenomic machinery including DNA methylation in affected patients. Results Genome-wide DNA methylation analysis of 7 male patients affected with Claes-Jensen syndrome and 56 age- and sex-matched controls identified a specific DNA methylation defect (epi-signature) in the peripheral blood of these patients, including 1769 individual CpGs and 9 genomic regions. Six healthy female carriers showed less pronounced but distinctive changes in the same regions enabling their differentiation from both patients and controls. Highly specific computational model using the most significant methylation changes demonstrated 100% accuracy in differentiating patients, carriers, and controls in the training cohort, which was confirmed on a separate cohort of patients and carriers. The 100% specificity of this unique epi-signature was further confirmed on additional 500 unaffected controls and 600 patients with intellectual disability and developmental delay, including other patient cohorts with previously described epi-signatures. Conclusion Peripheral blood epi-signature in Claes-Jensen syndrome can be used for molecular diagnosis and carrier identification and assist with interpretation of genetic variants of unknown clinical significance in the KDM5C gene.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Small renal masses (SRMs) with evidence of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) are understudied. Current algorithms for the management of SRMs include surgical resection, ablation, and active surveillance. We sought to identify genomic biomarkers that could potentially refine the management of ccRCC in SRMs, especially in patients being evaluated for active surveillance. METHODS We identified patients who had SRMs (4cm or less) at time of surgery, had sequencing performed on their primary tumor and had a diagnosis of ccRCC. Patients were selected from 3 publicly available cohorts, The Cancer Genome Atlas (n = 110), University of Tokyo (n = 37), The International Cancer Genome Consortium (n = 31), and from our own institutional prospective database (n = 25). Among this cohort we analyzed mutations present in at least 5% of tumors, assessing for the enrichment of mutations and progression-free survival using the composite endpoint of recurrence or death of disease. Analysis was adjusted for multiple testing. A Cox regression model was used to assess clinical variables with significant mutations. RESULTS In total, 203 patients were available for analysis. Median follow-up was 43.1 months among survivors. Mutations in VHL, PBRM1, SETD2, BAP1, KDM5C, and MTOR were present in more than 5% of tumors. Twenty-three patients (11.3%) had recurrence or died of their disease. Mutations in KDM5C were associated with inferior survival from either recurrence or death from disease, adjusted P 0.033. CONCLUSIONS We identified mutations in SRMs in ccRCC that are associated with recurrence and lethality. The strongest association was seen in those with KDM5C mutations. Use of these genomic biomarkers may improve stratification of patients with SRMs and for those who may be appropriate for active surveillance. Prospective evaluation of these markers is needed.

Abstract
Arginine methylation of histones is one mechanism of epigenetic regulation in eukaryotic cells. Methylarginines can also be found in non-histone proteins involved in various different processes in a cell. An enzyme family of nine protein arginine methyltransferases catalyses the addition of methyl groups on arginines of histone and non-histone proteins, resulting in either mono- or dimethylated-arginine residues. The reversibility of histone modifications is an essential feature of epigenetic regulation to respond to changes in environmental factors, signalling events, or metabolic alterations. Prominent histone modifications like lysine acetylation and lysine methylation are reversible. Enzyme family pairs have been identified, with each pair of lysine acetyltransferases/deacetylases and lysine methyltransferases/demethylases operating complementarily to generate or erase lysine modifications. Several analyses also indicate a reversible nature of arginine methylation, but the enzymes facilitating direct removal of methyl moieties from arginine residues in proteins have been discussed controversially. Differing reports have been seen for initially characterized putative candidates, like peptidyl arginine deiminase 4 or Jumonji-domain containing protein 6. Here, we review the most recent cellular, biochemical, and mass spectrometry work on arginine methylation and its reversible nature with a special focus on putative arginine demethylases, including the enzyme superfamily of Fe(II) and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenases.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), the most common kidney cancer, is responsible for more than 100,000 deaths per year worldwide. The molecular mechanism of RCC is poorly understood. Many studies have indicated that epigenetic changes such as DNA methylation, noncoding RNAs, and histone modifications are central to the pathogenesis of cancer. Histone demethylases (KDMs) play a central role in histone modifications. There is emerging evidence that KDMs such as KDM3A, KDM5C, KDM6A, and KDM6B play important roles in RCC. The available literature suggests that KDMs could promote RCC development and progression via hypoxia-mediated angiogenesis pathways. Small-molecule inhibitors of KDMs are being developed and used in preclinical studies; however, their clinical relevance is yet to be established. In this mini review, we summarize our current knowledge on the putative role of histone demethylases in RCC.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is a malignancy with high incidence and the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Development of efficient therapies against gastric cancer is urgent. Until now, the mechanisms of gastric cancer genesis remain elusive. The KDM5C is a histone demethylase that promotes cancer cell growth and is enriched in drug-resistant cancer cells. But the pathogenic breadth and mechanistic aspects of this effect relative to gastric cancer have not been defined. In present study, we found that KDM5C was overexpressed in gastric cancer cell lines and gastric cancer tissues but not in normal gastric tissues. The proliferation and invasive potential of gastric cancer cells was significantly increased by ectopic expression of KDM5C. Contrarily, RNA interference targeting KDM5C in gastric cancer cells significantly decreased the proliferation and invasive potential of cells. Moreover, we also found that the expression of p53 was modulated by KDM5C. Cells with overexpression of KDM5C exhibited greatly decreased p53 expression, whereas silencing of KDM5C expression dramatically increased p53 expression at both the messenger RNA and protein levels. Inhibition of p53 by small-interfering RNA reversed the shKDM5C-induced proliferation and invasion. Our results collectively suggested that KDM5C played a role in gastric cancer cells proliferation and invasion, which may be partly associated with the p53 expression.

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
BACKGROUND Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients are commonly treated with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors or mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors. Correlations between somatic mutations and first-line targeted therapy outcomes have not been reported on a randomized trial. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relationship between tumor mutations and treatment outcomes in RECORD-3, a randomized trial comparing first-line everolimus (mTOR inhibitor) followed by sunitinib (VEGF inhibitor) at progression with the opposite sequence in 471 metastatic RCC patients. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Targeted sequencing of 341 cancer genes at ∼540× coverage was performed on available tumor samples from 258 patients; 220 with clear cell histology (ccRCC). OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Associations between somatic mutations and median first-line progression free survival (PFS1L) and overall survival were determined in metastatic ccRCC using Cox proportional hazards models and log-rank tests. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS Prevalent mutations (≥ 10%) were VHL (75%), PBRM1 (46%), SETD2 (30%), BAP1 (19%), KDM5C (15%), and PTEN (12%). With first-line everolimus, PBRM1 and BAP1 mutations were associated with longer (median [95% confidence interval {CI}] 12.8 [8.1, 18.4] vs 5.5 [3.1, 8.4] mo) and shorter (median [95% CI] 4.9 [2.9, 8.1] vs 10.5 [7.3, 12.9] mo) PFS1L, respectively. With first-line sunitinib, KDM5C mutations were associated with longer PFS1L (median [95% CI] of 20.6 [12.4, 27.3] vs 8.3 [7.8, 11.0] mo). Molecular subgroups of metastatic ccRCC based on PBRM1, BAP1, and KDM5C mutations could have predictive values for patients treated with VEGF or mTOR inhibitors. Most tumor DNA was obtained from primary nephrectomy samples (94%), which could impact correlation statistics. CONCLUSIONS PBRM1, BAP1, and KDM5C mutations impact outcomes of targeted therapies in metastatic ccRCC patients. PATIENT SUMMARY Large-scale genomic kidney cancer studies reported novel mutations and heterogeneous features among individual tumors, which could contribute to varied clinical outcomes. We demonstrated correlations between somatic mutations and treatment outcomes in clear cell renal cell carcinoma, supporting the value of genomic classification in prospective studies.

Abstract
Genetic reversion is the phenomenon of spontaneous gene correction by which gene function is partially or completely rescued. However, it is unknown whether this mechanism always correctly repairs mutations, or is prone to error. We investigated a family of three boys with intellectual disability, and among them we identified two different mutations in KDM5C, located at Xp11.22, using whole-exome sequencing. Two affected boys have c.633delG and the other has c.631delC. We also confirmed de novo germline (c.631delC) and low-prevalence somatic (c.633delG) mutations in their mother. The two mutations are present on the same maternal haplotype, suggesting that a postzygotic somatic mutation or a reversion error occurred at an early embryonic stage in the mother, leading to switched KDM5C mutations in the affected siblings. This event is extremely unlikely to arise spontaneously (with an estimated probability of 0.39-7.5 × 10(-28) ), thus a possible reversion error is proposed here to explain this event. This study provides evidence for reversion error as a novel mechanism for the generation of somatic mutations in human diseases.

Abstract
Background Psychiatric disorders are common mental disorders without a pathological biomarker. Classic genetic studies found that an extra X chromosome frequently causes psychiatric symptoms in patients with either Klinefelter syndrome (XXY) or Triple X syndrome (XXX). Over-dosage of some X-linked escapee genes was suggested to cause psychiatric disorders. However, relevance of these rare genetic diseases to the pathogenesis of psychiatric disorders in the general population of psychiatric patients is unknown. Methods XIST and several X-linked genes were studied in 36 lymphoblastoid cell lines from healthy females and 60 lymphoblastoid cell lines from female patients with either bipolar disorder or recurrent major depression. XIST and KDM5C expression was also quantified in 48 RNA samples from postmortem human brains of healthy female controls and female psychiatric patients. Findings We found that the XIST gene, a master in control of X chromosome inactivation (XCI), is significantly over-expressed (p = 1 × 10− 7, corrected after multiple comparisons) in the lymphoblastoid cells of female patients with either bipolar disorder or major depression. The X-linked escapee gene KDM5C also displays significant up-regulation (p = 5.3 × 10− 7, corrected after multiple comparisons) in the patients' cells. Expression of XIST and KDM5C is highly correlated (Pearson's coefficient, r = 0.78, p = 1.3 × 10− 13). Studies on human postmortem brains supported over-expression of the XIST gene in female psychiatric patients. Interpretations We propose that over-expression of XIST may cause or result from subtle alteration of XCI, which up-regulates the expression of some X-linked escapee genes including KDM5C. Over-expression of X-linked genes could be a common mechanism for the development of psychiatric disorders between patients with those rare genetic diseases and the general population of female psychiatric patients with XIST over-expression. Our studies suggest that XIST and KDM5C expression could be used as a biological marker for diagnosis of psychiatric disorders in a significantly large subset of female patients. Research in context Due to lack of biological markers, diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders are subjective. There is utmost urgency to identify biomarkers for clinics, research, and drug development. We found that XIST and KDM5C gene expression may be used as a biological marker for diagnosis of major affective disorders in a significantly large subset of female patients from the general population. Our studies show that over-expression of XIST and some X-linked escapee genes may be a common mechanism for development of psychiatric disorders between the patients with rare genetic diseases (XXY or XXX) and the general population of female psychiatric patients. XIST and KDM5C genes are over-expressed in a large subset of female patients with major affective disorders. Over-expression of XIST and KDM5C genes could be used as a biomarker for diagnosis of individual patients. Over-expression of XIST and X-linked escapee genes including KDM5C may cause major affective disorders.

Abstract
Intellectual disability (ID) is a very heterogeneous disorder with over 100 ID genes located on the X chromosome alone. Of these, KDM5C and IQSEC2 are located adjacent to each other at the Xp11.22 locus. While mutations in either of these genes are associated with severe ID in males, female carriers are mostly unaffected. Here, we report on a female patient with severe ID and autistic features carrying a de novo 0.4 Mb deletion containing six coding genes including KDM5C and IQSEC2. X-inactivation analysis revealed skewing in a lymphocyte-derived cell line from this patient with preferential inactivation of the mutant X chromosome. As the brain-expressed KDM5C and IQSEC2 genes escape X-inactivation, deletion of these alleles could still be detrimental despite skewing of X-inactivation. Indeed, mutations in either of both genes have been reported in a few female ID patients. Expression analysis in the patients' cell line revealed decreased KDM5C mRNA levels compared to female controls. IQSEC2 levels could not be compared due to very low expression in blood. Overall, our data suggest that heterozygous loss-of-function of the escape genes KDM5C and/or IQSEC2 can contribute to severe ID in female patients and should be taken into account in diagnostics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Memories associated with drugs of abuse, such as methamphetamine (METH), increase relapse vulnerability to substance use disorder by triggering craving. The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is essential to these drug-associated memories, but underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Posttranslational chromatin modifications, such as histone methylation, modulate gene transcription; thus, we investigated the role of the associated epigenetic modifiers in METH-associated memory. METHODS Conditioned place preference was used to assess the epigenetic landscape in the NAc supporting METH-associated memory (n = 79). The impact of histone methylation (H3K4me2/3) on the formation and expression of METH-associated memory was determined by focal, intra-NAc knockdown (KD) of a writer, the methyltransferase mixed-lineage leukemia 1 (Mll1) (n = 26), and an eraser, the histone lysine (K)-specific demethylase 5C (Kdm5c) (n = 38), of H3K4me2/3. RESULTS A survey of chromatin modifications in the NAc of animals forming a METH-associated memory revealed the global induction of several modifications associated with active transcription. This correlated with a pattern of gene activation, as revealed by microarray analysis, including upregulation of oxytocin receptor (Oxtr) and FBJ osteosarcoma oncogene (Fos), the promoters of which also had increased H3K4me3. KD of Mll1 reduced H3K4me3, Fos and Oxtr levels and disrupted METH-associated memory. KD of Kdm5c resulted in hypermethylation of H3K4 and prevented the expression of METH-associated memory. CONCLUSIONS The development and expression of METH-associated memory are supported by regulation of H3K4me2/3 levels by MLL1 and KDM5C, respectively, in the NAc. These data indicate that permissive histone methylation, and the associated epigenetic writers and erasers, represent potential targets for the treatment of substance abuse relapse, a psychiatric condition perpetuated by unwanted associative memories.

Abstract
An increasing number of neurodevelopmental diseases have been associated with disruption of chromatin remodeling in eukaryotes. Lysine(K)-specific demethylase 5C (KDM5C) is a versatile epigenetic regulator that removes di- and tri-methyl groups of lysine 4 on histone H3 (H3K4) from transcriptional targets and is essential for neuronal survival and dendritic growth. Mutations in KDM5C gene, located at Xp11.22, have been reported as an important cause of both syndromic and non-syndromic X-linked intellectual disability (XLID) in males. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and spectrum of KDM5C mutations among Brazilian patients with XLID. To access the impact of KDM5C variants on XLID, a cohort of 143 males with a family history of intellectual disability (ID) suggestive of X-linked inheritance were enrolled. Common genetic causes of XLID were previously excluded and the entire coding and flanking intronic sequences of KDM5C gene were screened by direct Sanger sequencing. Seven nucleotide changes were observed: one pathogenic mutation (c.2172C>A, p.Cys724*), one novel variant with unknown value (c.633G>C, p.Arg211Arg) and five apparently benign sequence changes. In silico analysis of the variants revealed a putative creation of an Exonic Splicing Enhancer sequence by the silent c.633G>C mutation, which co-segregates with the ID phenotype. Our results point out to a KDM5C pathogenic mutational frequency of 0.7% among males with probable XLID. This is the first KDM5C screening among ID males from a country in Latin America and provides new clues about the significance of KDM5C mutations for genetic counseling.

Abstract
Recent sequencing studies of clear cell (conventional) renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) have identified inactivating point mutations in the chromatin-modifying genes PBRM1, KDM6A/UTX, KDM5C/JARID1C, SETD2, MLL2 and BAP1. To investigate whether aberrant hypermethylation is a mechanism of inactivation of these tumor suppressor genes in ccRCC, we sequenced the promoter region within a bona fide CpG island of PBRM1, KDM6A, SETD2 and BAP1 in bisulfite-modified DNA of a representative series of 50 primary ccRCC, 4 normal renal parenchyma specimens and 5 RCC cell lines. We also interrogated the promoter methylation status of KDM5C and ARID1A in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) ccRCC Infinium data set. PBRM1, KDM6A, SETD2 and BAP1 were unmethylated in all tumor and normal specimens. KDM5C and ARID1A were unmethylated in the TCGA 219 ccRCC and 119 adjacent normal specimens. Aberrant promoter hypermethylation of PBRM1, BAP1 and the other chromatin-modifying genes examined here is therefore absent or rare in ccRCC.
