Function
Essential component of a MLL/SET1 histone methyltransferase (HMT) complex, a complex that specifically methylates 'Lys-4' of histone H3 (H3K4). Functions as a transcriptional regulator. Binds to the TERT promoter and represses telomerase expression. Plays a role in TGFB1-mediated inhibition of cell-proliferation, possibly regulating SMAD3 transcriptional activity. Represses JUND-mediated transcriptional activation on AP1 sites, as well as that mediated by NFKB subunit RELA. Positively regulates HOXC8 and HOXC6 gene expression. May be involved in normal hematopoiesis through the activation of HOXA9 expression. May be involved in DNA repair.

Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) [Suppressor]

Experiment 1 Reporting the Ferroptosis Target of This Regulator [1]
Target for Ferroptosis Suppressor
Responsed Disease Pancreatic cancer ICD-11: 2C10
Pathway Response Fatty acid metabolism hsa01212
Cell Process Cell ferroptosis
In Vitro Model
BON-1 cells Pancreatic serotonin-producing neuroendocrine tumor Homo sapiens CVCL_3985
QGP-1 cells Pancreatic somatostatinoma Homo sapiens CVCL_3143
Response regulation We show that stearoyl-coA desaturase (SCD1) is the downstream of MEN1-mTOR signaling and oleic acid (OA), a metabolite of SCD1, recues the lipid peroxidation caused by MEN1 overexpression. The negative correlation between MEN1 and SCD1 is further verified in clinical specimens. Furthermore, we find that BON-1 and QGP-1 cells with MEN1 overexpression are more sensitive to everolimus, a widely used drug in pNETs that targets mTOR signaling.
