Efficient Elimination of Acute Myeloid Leukaemia Cells through Inhibition of KDM4A


ABSTRACT: We previously identified an essential role for the H3K9me3 histone demethylase, KDM4A, in maintaining AML cell survival, with genetic depletion by shRNA of KDM4A inducing leukaemic cell death with little effect on normal haematopoiesis. We hypothesised KDM4A inhibition may represent a novel and effective strategy to treat AML. To address this, we provided proof-of-principle for the use of KDM4 inhibitors (KDM4Ai) and fully characterised their functional potential in AML cells and identified the epigenetic mechanisms underpinning the essential role of KDM4A activity in THP-1 cells using both ChIP-seq and RNA-seq, delineating and functionally validating the epigenomic network regulated by KDM4A, showing that selective loss of KDM4A is sufficient to induce apoptosis in a broad spectrum of human AML cells. This detrimental phenotype results from a global accumulation of H3K9me3 and H3K27me3 at KDM4A targeted genomic loci thereby causing down-regulation of a KDM4A-PAF1 controlled transcriptional program essential for leukemogenesis, distinct from that of KDM4C.
