malfunction | PHF8 knockout by the CRISPR-Cas9 system attenuates hypoxia signaling in 293T cells. Knockdown or knockout of PHF8 by RNAi or CRISPR-Cas9 system reduces the activation of HIF1alpha and the induction of HIF1alpha target genes including KDM3A. Despite the impaired hypoxia induced stabilization of HIF1alpha protein, the upregulation of KDM3A is only attenuated by PHF8 knockout. PHF8 knockdown elevates H3K9me2 at the 3'UTRs of KDM3A, VEGFA and at the TSS of ENO2 under normoxia. Knockdown of PHF8 increases H3K27me2 at the TSS of ENO2 and decreases H3K27me2 at the 3'UTR of ENO2, respective | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | PHF8 regulates hypoxia inducible genes mainly through sustaining the level of trimethylated histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3), an active mark in transcriptional regulation. The positive role of PHF8 in hypoxia signaling extends to hypoxia-induced neuroendocrine differentiation (NED), wherein PHF8 cooperates with KDM3A to regulate the expression of NED genes. The role of PHF8 in hypoxia signaling is associated with the presence of full-length androgen receptor in CRPC cells. PHF8 is an epigenetic factor in hypoxia signaling, and the underlying regulatory mechanisms likely apply to general cancer development involving HIF1alpha. PHF8 regulates hypoxia inducible genes mainly through sustaining the level of trimethylated histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3), an active mark in transcriptional regulation. PHF8 (PHD finger protein 8) is dynamically regulated during the neuroendocrine differentiation that occurs in prostate cancer, and that the c-MYC-miR-22 axis contributes to the regulation of PHF8 in the context of androgen depletion and interleukin-6 treatment. PHF8 plays a critical role in hypoxia signaling as it positively regulates KDM3A which is a critical coactivator of key transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha, HIF1alpha, indirectly sustains H3K4me3 levels on select hypoxia-inducible genes, and is required for full activation of HIF1alpha through various mechanisms. In the context of prostate cancer, PHF8 appears to execute its regulatory function during hypoxia signaling in androgen receptor-positive prostate cancer cells | Homo sapiens |
