Description

Background on KDM6B Protein and Function

KDM6B, also known as Jumonji domain-containing protein 3 (JMJD3), is a histone demethylase that specifically targets trimethylated and dimethylated histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27) . This epigenetic modification plays a crucial role in gene regulation by altering chromatin structure and accessibility.

Molecular Functions of KDM6B

The KDM6B protein exhibits several important molecular functions that make it a significant target for research:

  1. It specifically demethylates 'Lys-27' of histone H3, playing a central role in the histone code .

  2. It has demonstrated ability to demethylate both trimethylated and dimethylated H3 'Lys-27' .

  3. It regulates HOX gene expression, which is essential for posterior development .

  4. It participates in the inflammatory response by regulating gene expression and macrophage differentiation during inflammation .

Recent research has revealed that KDM6B functions through both demethylase-dependent and demethylase-independent mechanisms, highlighting its complex role in cellular processes beyond simple histone modification .

Role in NF-κB Signaling

Research has demonstrated that KDM6B expression is regulated by NF-κB signaling in multiple cell types. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) and bone marrow stromal cell culture supernatants can induce KDM6B expression, which can be blocked by IKKβ inhibitors such as MLN120B . This relationship indicates that KDM6B functions downstream of inflammatory signaling cascades.

Involvement in MAPK Pathway

KDM6B has been shown to modulate the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. RNA-sequencing and ChIP-qPCR analyses have revealed that KDM6B is recruited to the loci of genes encoding components of the MAPK signaling pathway, including ELK1 and FOS, upregulating their expression . Importantly, this function can occur independently of its demethylase activity, as overexpression of catalytically-inactive KDM6B still activates expression of MAPK pathway-related genes .

Primary Applications

The FITC-conjugated KDM6B antibody is designed primarily for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Dot Blot applications . These methods enable researchers to detect and quantify KDM6B protein in various research contexts.

Potential Research Areas

Given the fundamental role of KDM6B in epigenetic regulation and inflammatory responses, the KDM6B antibody, FITC conjugated, can be valuable in several research areas:

  1. Epigenetic studies focusing on histone modification patterns, particularly H3K27 demethylation

  2. Investigations of inflammatory processes where KDM6B plays a regulatory role

  3. Cancer research, particularly in contexts where KDM6B expression affects cell growth and survival

  4. Developmental biology studies, especially those involving HOX gene regulation

Role in Multiple Myeloma

Studies have shown that KDM6B is expressed in multiple myeloma (MM) cells, and its depletion through shRNA-mediated knockdown or CRISPR-mediated knockout significantly inhibits MM cell growth and survival . Mechanistically, KDM6B depletion induces apoptosis in MM cells, with increased cleavage of caspase-3, caspase-7, and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) .

Involvement in Inflammatory Conditions

KDM6B plays a critical role in epigenetic reprogramming associated with lymphoid stromal cell commitment and immune properties. The enzyme drives the conversion of adipose stromal cells into immunofibroblasts upon TNF/lymphotoxin (LT) stimulation . This process is associated with increased binding of KDM6B to regulatory elements of genes involved in inflammatory responses, including CCL2, CCL5, PDPN, ICAM1, CXCL10, and IL1B .

Potential Therapeutic Target

The KDM6-specific inhibitor GSK-J4 has been shown to partially impair immunofibroblast commitment in vitro. Treatment with GSK-J4 negatively affects the expression of several genes in the KDM6-specific signature, including CXCL10, VCAM1, TNFRSF9, PDPN, IL1B, CCL2, and CCL5 . This suggests that targeting KDM6B could be a potential therapeutic approach for inflammatory conditions characterized by aberrant immunofibroblast activity.

Chromatin Interaction

KDM6B directly binds to regulatory elements, particularly gene enhancers, related to immunofibroblast phenotype. Analysis of KDM6B binding sites has highlighted a strong association with NF-κB motifs, suggesting that KDM6B could be targeted to specific genes through NF-κB members . Previous research has shown that KDM6B interacts with RELA to induce the transcription of inflammatory genes in response to TNF in keratinocytes through histone demethylation activity .

Histone Modifications

Initially described as an H3K27me3 demethylase, KDM6B also regulates the level of H3K27me2. During immunofibroblast commitment, H3K27me2 levels decrease upon TNF/LT stimulation, accompanied by a gain of H3K27 acetylation . This suggests a complex interplay between histone methylation and acetylation mediated by KDM6B.

Target Background

Function
KDM6B is a histone demethylase that specifically removes methyl groups from lysine 27 of histone H3. This activity plays a critical role in the histone code, influencing gene expression. KDM6B can demethylate both trimethylated and dimethylated H3 lysine 27. It is known to be involved in posterior development regulation by controlling HOX gene expression. Additionally, KDM6B participates in the inflammatory response by influencing macrophage differentiation during inflammation through gene regulation and macrophage differentiation control. Interestingly, it also exhibits a demethylase-independent role in chromatin remodeling, regulating T-box family member-dependent gene expression by acting as a bridge between T-box factors and the SMARCA4-containing SWI/SNF remodeling complex.

Q&A

What is KDM6B and what biological functions does it regulate?

KDM6B/JMJD3 is a JmjC domain-containing histone demethylase that catalyzes the removal of silencing methyl groups on H3K27, thereby activating gene expression.
