Project description:We assess whole-genome H3K9me3 distribution in cancer cells and find that H3K9me3 is largely enriched in long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1). A significant proportion of KDM4B-dependent H3K9me3 was located in evolutionarily young LINE-1 elements, which likely retain retrotransposition activity. Ectopic expression of KDM4B promoted LINE-1 expression, while depletion of KDM4B reduced it. Furthermore, KDM4B overexpression enhanced LINE-1 retrotransposition efficacy, copy number, and associated DNA damage, presumably via the histone demethylase activity of KDM4B. Breast cancer cell lines expressing high levels of KDM4B also exhibited increased LINE-1 expression and copy number compared with other cell lines. Pharmacological inhibition of KDM4B significantly reduced LINE-1 expression and DNA damage in breast cancer cells with excessive KDM4B. Our study not only identifies KDM4B as a novel regulator of LINE-1, but it also suggests an unexpected oncogenic role for KDM4B overexpression in tumorigenesis, providing clues for the development of new cancer prevention strategies and therapies.
