PG - 435-447 LID - 10.1261/rna.079865.123 [doi] AB - The histone lysine demethylase KDM5B is frequently up-regulated in various human cancer cells. However, its expression and functional role in human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells remain unclear. Here, we found that the expression level of KDM5B is high in primary human AML cells. We have demonstrated that knocking down KDM5B leads to apoptosis and impairs proliferation in primary human AML and some human AML cell lines. We further identified miR-140-3p as a downstream target gene of KDM5B. KDM5B expression was inversely correlated with the miR-140-3p level in primary human AML cells. Molecular studies showed that silencing KDM5B enhanced H3K4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) at the promoter of miR-140-3p, leading to high expression of miR-140-3p, which in turn inhibited B-cell CLL/lymphoma 2 (BCL2) expression. Finally, we demonstrate that the defective proliferation induced by KDM5B knockdown (KD) can be rescued with the miR-140-3p inhibitor or enhanced by combining KDM5B KD with a BCL2 inhibitor. Altogether, our data support the conclusion that KDM5B promotes tumorigenesis in human AML cells through the miR-140-3p/BCL2 axis. Targeting the KDM5B/miR-140-3p/BCL2 pathway may hold therapeutic promise for treating human AML. CI - (c) 2024 Huang et al.; Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press for the RNA Society.
