JMJD1C

Paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH) is a disorder resulting from erythrocyte membrane deficiencies caused by PIG-A gene mutations. While current treatments alleviate symptoms, they fail to address the underlying cause of the disease-the pathogenic PNH clones. In this study, we found that the expression of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) was downregulated in PNH clones, and the level of CPS1 was negatively correlated with the proportion of PNH clones. Using PIG-A knockout K562 (K562 KO) cells, we demonstrated that CPS1 knockdown increased cell proliferation and altered cell metabolism, suggesting that CPS1 participates in PNH clonal proliferation through metabolic reprogramming...

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are engaged in various types of cancers. This study aimed to investigate the roles of circ_0006743 (circ_JMJD1C) in breast cancer. The downstream of circ_JMJD1C and their interaction network was determined by bioinformatic analyses. Gene expression were analyzed through western blot and qRT-PCR assays. Functional assays were conducted in vitro and in vivo to verify circ_JMJD1C role in BC. FISH and confocal analysis indicated the cellular distribution of circ_JMJD1C. Luciferase reporter, RNA immune-precipitation (RIP) assays, as well as Pearson's correlation analysis, were implemented to test the relation of miR-182-5p, JMJD1C and circ_JMJD1C...

BACKGROUND: Coagulation system is currently known associated with the development of ischemic stroke (IS). Thus, the current study is designed to identify diagnostic value of coagulation genes (CGs) in IS and to explore their role in the immune microenvironment of IS. METHODS: Aberrant expressed CGs in IS were input into unsupervised consensus clustering to classify IS subtypes. Meanwhile, key CGs involved in IS were further selected by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and machine learning methods, including random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), generalized linear model (GLM) and extreme-gradient boosting (XGB)...

BACKGROUND: Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a key player of lipid metabolism with higher plasma levels in women throughout their life. Statin treatment affects PCSK9 levels also showing evidence of sex-differential effects. It remains unclear whether these differences can be explained by genetics. METHODS: We performed genome-wide association meta-analyses (GWAS) of PCSK9 levels stratified for sex and statin treatment in six independent studies of Europeans (8936 women/11,080 men respectively 14,825 statin-free/5191 statin-treated individuals)...

BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis is a common metabolic bone disorder induced by an imbalance between osteoclastic activity and osteogenic activity. During osteoporosis, bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) exhibit an increased ability to differentiate into adipocytes and a decreased ability to differentiate into osteoblasts, resulting in bone loss. Jumonji domain-containing 1C ( JMJD1C ) has been demonstrated to suppress osteoclastogenesis. AIM: To examine the effect of JMJD1C on the osteogenesis of BMSCs and the potential underlying mechanism...

In our work, the associations of GWAS (genome-wide associative studies) impact for sex-hormone-binding globulin (SHBG)-level SNPs with the risk of breast cancer (BC) in the cohort of Caucasian women of Russia were assessed. The work was performed on a sample of 1498 women (358 BC patients and 1140 control (non BC) subjects). SHBG correlated in previously GWAS nine polymorphisms such as rs780093 GCKR , rs17496332 PRMT6 , rs3779195 BAIAP2L1 , rs10454142 PPP1R21 , rs7910927 JMJD1C , rs4149056 SLCO1B1 , rs440837 ZBTB10 , rs12150660 SHBG , and rs8023580 NR2F2 have been genotyped...

Regulatory T (Treg ) cells are critical for immune tolerance but also form a barrier to antitumor immunity. As therapeutic strategies involving Treg cell depletion are limited by concurrent autoimmune disorders, identification of intratumoral Treg cell-specific regulatory mechanisms is needed for selective targeting. Epigenetic modulators can be targeted with small compounds, but intratumoral Treg cell-specific epigenetic regulators have been unexplored. Here, we show that JMJD1C, a histone demethylase upregulated by cytokines in the tumor microenvironment, is essential for tumor Treg cell fitness but dispensable for systemic immune homeostasis...

Background. Pigmented microcystic chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a subtype of chromophobe RCC. Its distinct histopathologic features are microcystic and microtubular pattern, pigmentation, and microcalcifications. Pigmented microcystic chromophobe RCC has ultrastructure, immunophenotypic structure, and molecular results similar to chromophobe RCC. Methods. We report five tumors of pigmented microcystic chromophobe RCC. Morphological observation and immunohistochemical examination were performed, and clinical and molecular features were analyzed...

Methylation of histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) is a repressive histone mark and associated with inhibition of gene expression. KDM3 is a subfamily of the JmjC histone demethylases. It specifically removes the mono- or di-methyl marks from H3K9 and thus contributes to activation of gene expression. KDM3 subfamily includes three members: KDM3A, KDM3B and KDM3C. As KDM3A (also known as JMJD1A or JHDM2A) is the best studied, this chapter will mainly focus on the role of KDM3A-mediated gene regulation in the biology of normal and cancer cells...

AIMS: The study aimed to discover novel genetic loci for atrial fibrillation (AF), explore the shared genetic etiologies between AF and other cardiovascular and cardiometabolic traits, and uncover AF pathogenesis using Mendelian randomization analysis. METHODS AND RESULTS: We conducted a genome-wide association study meta-analysis including 109,787 AF cases and 1,165,920 controls of European ancestry and identified 215 loci, among which 91 were novel. We performed Genomic Structural Equation Modeling analysis between AF and four cardiovascular comorbidities (coronary artery disease, ischemic stroke, heart failure, and vneous thromboembolism) and found 189 loci shared across these diseases as well as a universal genetic locus shared by atherosclerotic outcomes (i...

BACKGROUND: The absence of prominent, actionable genetic alternations in osteosarcomas (OS) implies that transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms significantly contribute to the progression of this life-threatening form of cancer. Therefore, the identification of potential transcriptional events that promote the survival of OS cells could be key in devising targeted therapeutic approaches for OS. We have previously shown that RUNX2 is a transcription factor (TF) essential for OS cell survival...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a chronic disorder characterized by hyperproliferation of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). JMJD1C, a member of the Jumonji domain containing C (JMJC) histone demethylase family, contributes to cardiovascular dysfunction. However, the role of JMJD1C in PAH remains unknown. Mice were exposed to hypoxia to mimic several features associated with PAH clinically. We found that JMJD1C was highly expressed in the lungs of mice after hypoxia exposure. JMJD1C knockdown ameliorated hypoxia-induced right ventricular remodeling and thickening of the pulmonary arterial wall...

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common gynecological endocrine disorders. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play extensive roles in the pathogenesis of PCOS and can serve as potential diagnostic markers. However, most studies focused on the regulatory mechanisms of individual miRNAs, and the combined regulatory effects of multiple miRNAs remain unclear. The aim of this study was to identify the common targets of miR-223-3p, miR-122-5p, and miR-93-5p; and assess the transcript levels of some of these targets in PCOS rat ovaries...

The histone demethylase JMJD1C is associated with human platelet counts. The JMJD1C knockout in zebrafish and mice leads to the ablation of megakaryocyte-erythroid lineage anemia. However, the specific expression, function, and mechanism of JMJD1C in megakaryopoiesis remain unknown. Here, we used cell line models, cord blood cells, and thrombocytopenia samples, to detect the JMJD1C expression. ShRNA of JMJD1C and a specific peptide agonist of JMJD1C, SAH-JZ3, were used to explore the JMJD1C function in the cell line models...

A subset of expressed genes is associated with a broad H3K4me3 (histone H3 trimethylated at lysine 4) domain that extends throughout the gene body. Genes marked in this way in normal cells are involved in cell-identity and tumor-suppressor activities, whereas in cancer cells, genes driving the cancer phenotype (oncogenes) have this feature. Other histone modifications associated with expressed genes that display a broad domain have been less studied. Here, we identified genes with the broadest H3K79me2 (histone H3 dimethylated at lysine 79) domain in human leukemic cell lines representing different forms of leukemia...

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart defect in human beings, with an estimated prevalence in the general population of between 0.5 and 2%. Moreover, BAV is the most common cause of aortic stenosis in the pediatric population. Patients with BAV may have no symptoms for life, and some of them may progress to aortic stenosis. Genetic factors increase the susceptibility and development of BAV. However, the pathogenesis and BAV are still unclear, and more genetic variants are still needed for elucidating the molecular mechanism and stratification of patients...

OBJECTIVES: The present study aimed to identify different key genes and pathways between postmenopausal females and males by studying differentially expressed genes (DEGs). METHODS: GSE32317 and GSE55457 gene expression data were downloaded from the GEO database, and DEGs were discovered using R software to obtain overlapping DEGs. The interaction between overlapping DEGs was further analyzed by establishing the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. Finally, GO and KEGG were used for enrichment analysis...

Appropriate regulation of B cell differentiation into plasma cells is essential for humoral immunity while preventing antibody-mediated autoimmunity; however, the underlying mechanisms, especially those with pathological consequences, remain unclear. Here, we found that the expression of Jmjd1c, a member of JmjC domain histone demethylase, in B cells but not in other immune cells, protected mice from rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In humans with RA, JMJD1C expression levels in B cells were negatively associated with plasma cell frequency and disease severity...
