Family JHDM3 histone demethylase family
Function
Histone demethylase that specifically demethylates 'Lys-9' and 'Lys-36' residues of histone H3, thereby playing a central role in histone code. Does not demethylate histone H3 'Lys- 4', H3 'Lys-27' nor H4 'Lys-20'. Demethylates trimethylated H3 'Lys-9' and H3 'Lys-36' residue, while it has no activity on mono- and dimethylated residues. Demethylation of Lys residue generates formaldehyde and succinate. Participates in transcriptional repression of ASCL2 and E2F-responsive promoters via the recruitment of histone deacetylases and NCOR1, respectively.

Cystine/glutamate transporter (SLC7A11) [Driver; Suppressor]
In total 1 item(s) under this target
Experiment 1 Reporting the Ferroptosis Target of This Regulator [1]
Target for Ferroptosis Suppressor
Responsed Disease Osteosarcoma ICD-11: 2B51
Pathway Response Fatty acid metabolism hsa01212
Ferroptosis hsa04216
Cell Process Cell ferroptosis
Cell metastasis
In Vitro Model
143B cells Osteosarcoma Homo sapiens CVCL_2270
HOS cells Osteosarcoma Homo sapiens CVCL_0312
In Vivo Model
For the xenograft mouse model, 1 x 106 OS 143B cells in 100 uL PBS were subcutaneously injected with 1 x 106 OS cells. For the OS lung metastasis model and in vivo imaging, 1 x 106 143B cells in 10 uL PBS were injected orthotopically into the medullary cavity of the tibia of mice. For bioluminescent imaging, we used 143B cells stably expressing luciferase, and the luciferase substrate D-Luciferin (Selleck, China) was retro-orbitally injected before imaging on days 7 and 21.
