Jmjd1C is one of the Jmjd1 family genes that encode putative demethylases against histone H3K9 and non-histone proteins and has been proven to play an indispensable role in mouse spermatogenesis. Here, we analyzed a newly-bred transgenic mouse strain carrying a Jmjd1C loss-of-function allele in which a β-geo cassette was integrated into the intron of the Jmjd1C locus. Jmjd1C gene-trap homozygous testes exhibited malformations in postmeiotic processes and a deficiency in the long-term maintenance of undifferentiated spermatogonia. Some groups of spermatids in the homozygous testis showed abnormal organization and incomplete elongation from the first wave of spermatogenesis onwards. Moreover, histone H4K16 acetylation, which is required for the onset of chromatin remodeling, appeared to be remarkably decreased. These effects may not have been a result of the drastic decrease in gene expression related to the events but instead may have been due to the lack of interaction between JMJD1C and its partner proteins, such as MDC1 and HSP90. Additionally, significant decreases in Oct4 expression and NANOG- and OCT4-expressing spermatogonia were found in the Jmjd1C homozygous mature testis, suggesting that JMJD1C may participate in the maintenance of spermatogonial stem cell self-renewal by up-regulating Oct4 expression. These results indicate that JMJD1C has multiple functions during spermatogenesis through interactions with different partners during the spermatogenic stages.

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) carries a poor prognosis at advanced stages underscoring the need to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms driving its pathogenesis. This study aimed to investigate the roles of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit M () and its associated effector, serum amyloid A-like 1 (), in LUAD development and progression. Bioinformatic analyses such as TNMplot, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and other public databases were used to evaluate and expression levels, methylation status, clinical associations, and potential transcriptional regulators across LUAD datasets.

Background: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the most common microvascular complications in patients with diabetes mellitus. In this condition, renal tubular epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an important factor accelerating the progression of DKD and a major cause of renal fibrosis and end-stage renal disease. However, the therapeutic effect is unsatisfactory because of the lack of effective drugs.

JMJD1C, a member of the lysine demethylase 3 (KDM3) family, is universally required for the survival of several types of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells with different genetic mutations, representing a therapeutic opportunity with broad application. Yet how JMJD1C regulates the leukemic programs of various AML cells is largely unexplored. Here we show that JMJD1C interacts with the master hematopoietic transcription factor RUNX1, which thereby recruits JMJD1C to the genome to facilitate a RUNX1-driven transcriptional program that supports leukemic cell survival.
