“…Not surprisingly, KDM5B is overexpressed, and has been reported to play an oncogenic function, in a variety of cancers including breast cancer [4,22], melanoma [26], PCa [27], lung cancer [28], hepatocellular carcinoma [29], gastric cancer [30], neuroblastoma [31] and leukemia [32]. On the other hand, potential tumor-suppressive functions of KDM5B have also been documented in some cases of melanoma and subtypes of breast cancer [33,34]. Mechanistically, KDM5B has been reported to interact with transcription factors such as estrogen receptor α (ERα), androgen receptor (AR), progesterone receptor, PAX9, FOXG1, etc, and such interactions direct its localization to a diverse repertoire of genes in different cell types that further leads to distinct gene expression and contributes to CTH and intratumor heterogeneity [6].…”
