Pharmacological Inhibition of LSD1 for Cancer Treatment
Molecules, 2018 Lysine-specific demethylase 1A (LSD1, also named KDM1A) is a demethylase that can remove methyl groups from histones H3K4me1/2 and H3K9me1/2. It is aberrantly expressed in many cancers, where it impedes differentiation and contributes to cancer cell ...

H3K27 Demethylases, at Long Last [PDF]
Cell, 2007 Methylation of lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27me) by the Polycomb complex (PRC2) proteins is associated with gene silencing in many developmental processes. A cluster of recent papers (Agger et al., 2007; De Santa et al., 2007; Lan et al., 2007; Lee et al., 2007) identify the JmjC-domain proteins UTX and JMJD3 as H3K27-specific demethylases that remove ...

eLife, 2020 H3K9 methylation (H3K9me) specifies the establishment and maintenance of transcriptionally silent epigenetic states or heterochromatin. The enzymatic erasure of histone modifications is widely assumed to be the primary mechanism that reverses epigenetic ...

FTO-mediated cytoplasmic m6Am demethylation adjusts stem-like properties in colorectal cancer cell
Nature Communications, 2021 The demethylase FTO was shown to remove on N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and N6, 2’-O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am) modifications on RNAs. Here the authors show that FTO impedes cancer stem cell-like abilities in colorectal cancer cells through its m6Am ...

The Functions of the Demethylase JMJD3 in Cancer [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Cancer is a major cause of death worldwide. Epigenetic changes in response to external (diet, sports activities, etc.) and internal events are increasingly implicated in tumor initiation and progression. In this review, we focused on post-translational changes in histones and, more particularly, the tri methylation of lysine from histone 3 (H3K27me3 ...
