Histone lysine-specific demethylase 1 regulates the proliferation of hemocytes in the oyster Crassostrea gigas.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is an essential epigenetic regulator of hematopoietic differentiation, which can specifically mono-methylate H3K4 (H3K4me1) and di-methylate H3K4 (H3K4me2) as a transcriptional corepressor. Previous reports have been suggested that it participated in hematopoiesis and embryonic development process. Here, a conserved LSD1 (CgLSD1) with a SWIRM domain and an amino oxidase (AO) domain was identified from the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas.

Methods

We conducted a comprehensive analysis by various means to verify the function of CgLSD1 in hematopoietic process, including quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis, western blot analysis, immunofluorescence assay, RNA interference (RNAi) and flow cytometry.
