KDM6A(UTX) is an epigenetic gatekeeper of mTORC1 signalling in cancer


ABSTRACT: Large-scale genome sequencing efforts of human tumors identified epigenetic modifiers as one of the most frequently mutated gene class in human cancer. However, how these mutations drive tumor development and progression is largely unknown. Here, we identify the histone demethylase KDM6A as an important tumor suppressor in solid cancers, such as liver cancer and pancreatic cancer. KDM6A-deficient tumors show hyperactivation of mTORC1 signaling, whereas endogenous KDM6A re-expression in established KDM6A-deficient tumors diminishes mTORC1 activity by fostering the expression of crucial negative pathway regulators, such as DEPTOR, TSC1, and TSC2, resulting in tumor regression. Importantly, KDM6A expression in human tumors correlates with mTORC1 activity and KDM6A-deficient tumors exhibit increased sensitivity to mTORC1 inhibition. Hence, our results link KDM6A-dependent epigenetic remodeling to mTORC1 signaling and provide a potential therapeutic strategy for KDM6A-deficient tumors.
