Abstract

KDM6B/JMJD3 is a histone H3 lysine demethylase with an important gene regulatory role in development and physiology. Here, we show that human JMJD3 expression is induced by the active vitamin D metabolite 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25(OH)(2)D(3)) and that JMJD3 modulates the gene regulatory action of this hormone. 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) activates the JMJD3 gene promoter and increases the level of JMJD3 RNA in human cancer cells. JMJD3 upregulation was strictly dependent on vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression and was abolished by cycloheximide. In SW480-ADH colon cancer cells, JMJD3 knockdown or expression of an inactive mutant JMJD3 fragment decreased the induction by 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) of several target genes and of an epithelial adhesive phenotype. Moreover, JMJD3 knockdown upregulated the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition inducers SNAIL1 and ZEB1 and the mesenchymal markers fibronectin and LEF1, while it downregulated the epithelial proteins E-cadherin, Claudin-1 and Claudin-7. Additionally, JMJD3 knockdown abolished the nuclear export of β-catenin and the inhibition of β-catenin transcriptional activity caused by 1,25(OH)(2)D(3). Importantly, the expression of JMJD3 correlated directly with that of VDR and inversely with that of SNAI1 in a series of 96 human colon tumours. Our results indicate for the first time that an epigenetic gene coding for a histone demethylase such as JMJD3 is a VDR co-target that partially mediates the effects of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) on human colon.

  • Vitamin D, through its interaction with the vitamin D receptor (VDR), can modulate the activity of chromatin-modifying enzymes, including DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), histone acetyltransferases (HATs), and histone deacetylases (HDACs), and can influence DNA methylation patterns, histone modifications, and microRNA expression.

    “Regarding epigenetic mechanisms, vitamin D, through its interaction with the vitamin D receptor (VDR), can modulate the activity of chromatin-modifying enzymes, including DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), histone acetyltransferases (HATs), and histone deacetylases (HDACs).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
