title: Depletion of histone demethylase KDM2A inhibited cell proliferation of stem cells from apical papilla by de-repression of p15INK4B and p27Kip1.
abstract: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a reliable resource for tissue regeneration; although, the molecular mechanisms of their differentiation and proliferation are not clearly understood, which restricts the applications of MSCs. The histone demethylase, lysine (K)-specific demethylase 2A (KDM2A), and the mammalian paralog, lysine (K)-specific demethylase 2B (KDM2B), are evolutionarily conserved and ubiquitously expressed members of the JmjC-domain-containing histone demethylase family. A previous study determined that KDM2A and KDM2B can regulate the differentiation of MSCs, and KDM2B has been implicated in cell cycle regulation by de-repressing p15(INK4B) (cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2B). It is not known whether KDM2A is involved in the cell proliferation of MSCs. Here, we show that depletion of KDM2A by short hairpin RNAs can inhibit cell proliferation and arrest cell cycle progression at the G1/S-phase in human stem cells from apical papilla (SCAPs). The effect of KDM2A on cell proliferation was found to be mediated through de-repression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, p15(INK4B) and p27(Kip1) (cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1B), in KDM2A knock-down SCAPs. Furthermore, chromatin immunoprecipitation assays demonstrated that silencing of KDM2A increased histone H3 Lysine 4 (H3K4) trimethylation at the p15(INK4B) and p27(Kip1) loci and regulated its expression. Together, our results indicate that KDM2A is a H3K4 demethylase that regulates cell proliferation through p15(INK4B) and p27(Kip1) in SCAPs.
