The histone demethylase JMJD2A promotes glioma cell growth via targeting Akt-mTOR signaling.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A number of JmjC domain-containing histone demethylases have been identified and biochemically characterized in mammalian models and humans. JMJD2A is a transcriptional co-factor and enzyme that catalyzes the demethylation of histone H3 lysine 9 and 36 (H3K9 and H3K36). Here in this study, we reported the role of JMJD2A in human glioma.

Methods

Quantitative real-time PCR and western blot were performed to analyzed JMJD2A expression in glioma. Log-rank was performed to plot the survival curve. JMJD2A was knocked or overexpressed with lentivirus. Cell proliferation and colony formation were performed to assess the effects of JMJD2A on glioma cell growth. Xenograft experiment was performed the evaluate the growth rate of glioma cells in vivo. The signaling pathway wa
