Histone lysine demethylase 4D (KDM4D) is a critical player in the regulation of tumorigenesis, emerging as a potential target for developing anti-tumor agents. In this study, a series of KDM4D inhibitors containing the 4,6-diarylquinoxaline scaffold were prepared based on the previously discovered hit compound QD-1. Among these inhibitors, 33a was the most potent compound, with an IC value of 0.62 μM. In an in vitro assay, 33a showed a superior ability to inhibit the viability of liver cancer Huh-7 cells with IC = 5.23 μM. 33a exhibits significant effects in inhibiting cell cycle progression and proliferation of liver cancer cells, as well as suppressing cell migration. This work provided a promising scaffold for developing KDM4D inhibitors, as well as a lead compound for the development of anti-tumor drugs targeting KDM4D.

Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) possess the characteristics of self-renewal and differentiation, as well as the ability to generate functional sperm. Their unique stemness has broad applications in male infertility treatment and species preservation. In rodents, research on SSCs has been widely reported, but progress is slow in large livestock such as cattle and pigs due to long growth cycles, difficult proliferation in vitro, and significant species differences.

KDM4 histone demethylases became an exciting target for inhibitor development as the evidence linking them directly to tumorigenesis mounts. In this study, we set out to better understand the binding cavity using an X-ray crystallographic approach to provide a detailed landscape of possible interactions within the under-investigated region of KDM4. Our design strategy was based on utilizing known KDM binding motifs, such as nicotinic acid and tetrazolylhydrazides, as core motifs that we decided to enrich with flexible tails to map the distal histone binding site.

Objective: The gain of function (GOF) CTNNB1 mutations (CTNNB1 ) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cause significant immune escape and resistance to anti-PD-1. Here, we aimed to investigate the mechanism of CTNNB1 HCC-mediated immune escape and raise a new therapeutic strategy to enhance anti-PD-1 efficacy in HCC.
Design: RNA sequencing was performed to identify the key downstream genes of CTNNB1 associated with immune escape.

Epigenetic modulators play an increasingly crucial role in the treatment of various diseases. In this case, it is imperative to systematically investigate the activity of these agents and understand their influence on the entire epigenetic regulatory network rather than solely concentrate on individual targets. This work introduces MT-EpiPred, a multitask learning method capable of predicting the activity of compounds against 78 epigenetic targets.
