Ribosome biogenesis is a fine-tuned cellular process and its deregulation is linked to cancer progression: tumors characterized by an intense ribosome biogenesis often display a more aggressive behavior. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis is controlled at several levels, the higher one being the epigenetic regulation of the condensation of chromatin portions containing rRNA genes. KDM2A and KDM2B (Lysine (K)-specific demethylase 2A / B) are histone demethylases modulating the accessibility of ribosomal genes, thereby regulating their transcription. Both enzymes are able to demethylate lysins at relevant sites (e.g. K4, K36) on histone H3. We previously demonstrated that KDM2B is one of the factors regulating ribosome biogenesis in human breast cancer. In this study we aimed to define the combined contribution of KDM2A and KDM2B to breast cancer outcome. KDM2A and KDM2B mRNA levels, nucleolar area as a marker of ribosome biogenesis, and patients' prognosis were retrospectively assessed in a series of primary breast carcinomas. We observed that tumors characterized by reduced levels of both KDM2A and KDM2B displayed a particularly aggressive clinical behavior and increased nucleolar size. Our results suggest that KDM2A and KDM2B may cooperate in regulating ribosome biogenesis thus influencing the biological behavior and clinical outcome of human breast cancers.

KDM2A 和 KDM2B 的联合表达水平与原发性乳腺癌的核仁大小和预后相关。

核糖体生物发生是一种微调的细胞过程,其失调与癌症进展有关:以强烈核糖体生物发生为特征的肿瘤通常表现出更具侵略性的行为。核糖体 RNA (rRNA) 的合成受多个层次的控制,较高的层次是包含 rRNA 基因的染色质部分凝聚的表观遗传调控。KDM2A 和 KDM2B(赖氨酸 (K) 特异性去甲基化酶 2A/B)是组蛋白去甲基化酶,可调节核糖体基因的可及性,从而调节其转录。这两种酶都能够使组蛋白 H3 上相关位点(例如 K4、K36)的溶素去甲基化。我们之前证明 KDM2B 是调节人类乳腺癌核糖体生物发生的因素之一。在这项研究中,我们旨在确定 KDM2A 和 KDM2B 对乳腺癌结果的综合贡献。在一系列原发性乳腺癌中回顾性评估了 KDM2A 和 KDM2B mRNA 水平、作为核糖体生物发生标志物的核仁面积以及患者的预后。我们观察到以 KDM2A 和 KDM2B 水平降低为特征的肿瘤表现出特别具有侵略性的临床行为和增加的核仁大小。我们的研究结果表明,KDM2A 和 KDM2B 可能协同调节核糖体生物发生,从而影响人类乳腺癌的生物学行为和临床结果。我们观察到以 KDM2A 和 KDM2B 水平降低为特征的肿瘤表现出特别具有侵略性的临床行为和增加的核仁大小。我们的研究结果表明,KDM2A 和 KDM2B 可能协同调节核糖体生物发生,从而影响人类乳腺癌的生物学行为和临床结果。我们观察到以 KDM2A 和 KDM2B 水平降低为特征的肿瘤表现出特别具有侵略性的临床行为和增加的核仁大小。我们的研究结果表明,KDM2A 和 KDM2B 可能协同调节核糖体生物发生,从而影响人类乳腺癌的生物学行为和临床结果。
