Immunopharmacology Comments
In relation to the immune system, overexpression of KDM6B (JMJD3) is associated with inflammation [4-5] and with immune cell cancers such as T‐cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and Hodgkin's lymphoma [1,9]. Selective KDM6B inhibitors which restore H3K27 tri-methylation marks on KDM6B transcriptional target genes are being developed e.g. Compound 3 [PMID: 29633584], with clinical efficacy applicable to the treatment of cancer, inflammation and neurological disorders being the ultimate goal.

KDM6A and KDM6B have been reported as key regulators of metabolic switches that are involved in metabolic reprogramming of human T helper cell subsets [3]. In vitro, inhibition by GSK-J4 (the ester prodrug of GSK-J1, a KDM6A/B inhibitor) increases repressive H3K27me3 histone marks which causes down-regulation of the key transcription factor RORγt during Th17 differentiation, and in mature Th17 cells leads to metabolic reprogramming, suppression of IL-17 cytokine levels and reduced proliferation. This work suggests that inhibiting KDM6 demethylases may be an effective intervention in autoimmune inflammation.
