ABSTRACT: Lysine 9 di-methylation and lysine 27 tri-methylation of histone H3 (H3K9me2 and H3K27me3) are mostly linked to gene repression. However, functions of repressive histone methylation dynamics during inflammatory responses remain poorly understood. Here, we show that lysine demethylase 7A (KDM7A) and 6A (UTX) are rapidly transported to nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) related elements in human endothelial cells in response to tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. KDM7A and UTX demethylate H3K9me2 and H3K27me3, respectively, and cooperatively activate NF-κB dependent inflammatory genes. Furthermore, using both in situ Hi-C and other 3C based technology, loops between super enhancers (SEs) are newly formed following TNF-α-stimuli at NF-κB-dependent inflammatory loci where KDM7A- and UTX-recruitment coincide. Collectively, these findings suggest that erasing of repressive histone marks by KDM7A and UTX within NF-κB-related elements might functionally associate with formation of SE-SE three-dimensional interactions and could be a cue signal during inflammatory responses in human endothelial cells.
