Methylstat is an inhibitor of the Jumonji C domain-containing histone trimethyl demethylases (JHDMs).
Methylstat is an inhibitor of the Jumonji C domain-containing histone trimethyl demethylases (JHDMs). Methylstat inhibits the activity of JMJD2C (IC50 = 4.3 μM), with similar potency against JMJD2E and JMJD3. The compound has poor activity against dimethyl demethylases, and does not inhibit class I or II HDACs. Methylsat blocks proliferation of the esophageal carcinoma cell line KYSE150 with an IC50 value of 5.1 μM.
Histone methylation patterns are important epigenetic regulators of mammalian development, notably through stem cell identity maintenance by chromatin remodeling and transcriptional control of pluripotency genes. But, the implications of histone marks are poorly understood in distant groups outside vertebrates and
How tumor cells genetically lose antigenicity and evade immune checkpoints remains largely elusive. We report that tissue-specific expression of the human long noncoding RNA LINK-A in mouse mammary glands initiates metastatic mammary gland tumors, which phenotypically resemble human triple-negative breast
Despite the structural conservation of PTEN with dual-specificity phosphatases, there have been no reports regarding the regulatory mechanisms that underlie this potential dual-phosphatase activity. Here, we report that K27-linked polyubiquitination of PTEN at lysines 66 and 80 switches its phosphoinositide/protein
Differentiation of adipose progenitor cells into mature adipocytes entails a dramatic reorganization of the cellular architecture to accommodate lipid storage into cytoplasmic lipid droplets. Lipid droplets occupy most of the adipocyte volume, compressing the nucleus beneath the plasma membrane. How
How migrating cells differentially adapt and respond to extracellular track geometries remains unknown. Using intravital imaging, we demonstrate that invading cells exhibit dorsoventral (top-to-bottom) polarity in vivo. To investigate the impact of dorsoventral polarity on cell locomotion through different confining
