KDM1A and KDM3A promote tumor growth by upregulating cell cycle-associated genes in pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant cancer of the pancreas with a very poor prognosis. Methylation of histone lysine residues is essential for regulating cancer physiology and pathophysiology, mediated by a set of methyltransferases (KMTs) and demethylases (KDMs). This study surveyed the expression of methylation regulators functioning at lysine 9 of histone 3 (H3K9) in pancreatic lesions and explored the underlying mechanisms. We analyzed KDM1A and KDM3A expression in clinical samples by immunohistochemical staining and searching the TCGA PAAD program and GEO datasets. Next, we identified the variation in tumor growth in vitro and in vivo after knockdown of KDM1A or KDM3A and explored the downstream regulators of KDM1A and KDM3A via RNA-seq, and gain- and loss-of-function assays. Eleven H3K9 methylation regulators were highly expressed in pancreatic cancer, and only KDM1A and KDM3A expression positively correlated with the clinicopathological characteristics in pancreatic cancer. High expression of KDM1A or KDM3A positively correlated with pathological grade, lymphatic metastasis, invasion, and clinical stage. Kaplan–Meier analysis indicated that a higher level of KDM1A or KDM3A led to a shorter survival period. Knockdown of KDM1A or KDM3A led to markedly impaired tumor growth in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, CCNA2, a cell cycle-associated gene was partially responsible for KDM1A knockdown-mediated effect and CDK6, also a cell cycle-associated gene was partially responsible for KDM3A knockdown-mediated effect on pancreatic cancer cells. Our study demonstrates that KDM1A and KDM3A are highly expressed in pancreatic cancer and are intimately correlated with clinicopathological factors and prognosis. The mechanism of action of KDM1A or KDM3A was both linked to the regulation of cell cycle-associated genes, such as CCNA2 or CDK6, respectively, by an H3K9-dependent pathway.

Subcellular Distribution of Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase in Cerebellar Granule Cells Undergoing Cytosine Arabinoside-Induced Apoptosis

Abstract: We have previously shown that cytosine arabinoside (AraC)-induced apoptosis of cerebellar granule cells (CGCs) results in an increase of a 38-kDa band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, identified as glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH; EC 1.2.1.12). Antisense oligonucleotides to GAPDH mRNA afford acutely plated CGCs significant protection against AraC-induced apoptosis. We used differential centrifugation to examine which subcellular components are affected. Treated and untreated cells were sonicated in 0.32 M sucrose and sequentially centrifuged at 1,000, 20,000, and 200,000 g , to obtain crude nuclear, mitochondrial, microsomal, and cytosolic fractions. Western blotting showed that the levels of GAPDH protein were markedly increased in the 1,000- and 20,000- g pellets. The levels in the cytosolic supernatant were decreased dramatically by AraC in acutely plated CGCs but not in cells 24 h after plating. It is noteworthy that although GAPDH protein in the pellet fractions increased, the dehydrogenase activity of GAPDH decreased. Two other dehydrogenases, lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49), were not similarly affected, suggesting that the effect was GAPDH specific. These observations suggest that GAPDH levels change in specific organelles during apoptosis for reasons that are separate from its function as a glycolytic enzyme. The accumulation of GAPDH protein in specific subcellular loci may play a role in neuronal apoptosis.

Overexpression of let-7d explains down-regulated KDM3A and ENO2 in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia

Pre-eclampsia (PE) is the leading cause of maternal death; however, the causative molecular basis remains largely unknown. Recent studies have revealed the important role microRNAs (miRNAs) play in PE. We aimed to explore the effects of let-7d on trophoblast proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis in PE and its underlying mechanism. Placental tissues were collected from PE patients and healthy pregnant women, and it was found that let-7d expression was increased, while KDM3A and ENO2 expression was decreased in PE tissues and cells. Bioinformatics analysis indicated the interaction among let-7d, KDM3A and ENO2, confirmed by dual luciferase reporter gene assay; ChIP experiment identified methylated modification to ENO2 by KDM3A. With gain- and loss-function method, silencing of let-7d increased KDM3A expression and enhanced the binding between KDM3A and ENO2. Furthermore, overexpression of let-7d suppressed cell proliferation, migration and invasion of trophoblasts, and induced apoptosis of trophoblasts, while these capacities were restored upon additional treatment of overexpressed ENO2. PE rat models were established to explore the effects of let-7d and ENO2 on PE in vivo. The results established that the silencing of let-7d alleviated the tissue injury and PE-related symptoms when reducing urine protein, TUNEL-positive cells and increasing ENO2, and KDM3A expression in rats. Cumulatively, let-7d suppressed cell progression of trophoblasts, and induced apoptosis through the down-regulation of KDM3A to promote ENO2 methylation, thereby promoting progression of PE. Such an epigenetic network of let-7d, KDM3A and ENO2 in the pathogenesis of PE might provide novel insight into targeted therapy against this disorder.     

LncRNA H19 ameliorates myocardial infarction‐induced myocardial injury and maladaptive cardiac remodelling by regulating KDM3A

Myocardial infarction (MI) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and novel therapeutic targets still need to be investigated to alleviate myocardial injury and the ensuing maladaptive cardiac remodelling. Accumulating studies have indicated that lncRNA H19 might exert a crucial regulatory effect on cardiovascular disease. In this study, we aimed to explore the biological function and molecular mechanism of H19 in MI. To investigate the biological functions of H19, miRNA‐22‐3p and KDM3A, gain‐ and loss‐of‐function experiments were performed. In addition, bioinformatics analysis, dual‐luciferase reporter assays, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays, RNA pull‐down assays, quantitative RT‐PCR and Western blot analyses as well as rescue experiments were conducted to reveal an underlying competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) mechanism. We found that H19 was significantly down‐regulated after MI. Functionally, enforced H19 expression dramatically reduced infarct size, improved cardiac performance and alleviated cardiac fibrosis by mitigating myocardial apoptosis and decreasing inflammation. However, H19 knockdown resulted in the opposite effects. Bioinformatics analysis and dual‐luciferase assays revealed that, mechanistically, miR‐22‐3p was a direct target of H19, which was also confirmed by RIP and RNA pull‐down assays in primary cardiomyocytes. In addition, bioinformatics analysis and dual‐luciferase reporter assays also demonstrated that miRNA‐22‐3p directly targeted the KDM3A gene. Moreover, subsequent rescue experiments further verified that H19 regulated the expression of KDM3A to ameliorate MI‐induced myocardial injury in a miR‐22‐3p‐dependent manner. The present study revealed the critical role of the lncRNAH19/miR‐22‐3p/KDM3A pathway in MI. These findings suggest that H19 may act as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for MI.
