Abstract

AbstractEpigenetic regulation plays extensive roles in diseases and development. Disruption of epigenetic regulation not only increases the risk of cancer, but can also cause various developmental defects. However, it is still unclear how epigenetic regulators coordinate with tissue-specific regulatory factors during morphogenesis of specific organs. Using palatogenesis as a model, we reveal the functional significance of Kdm6b, a H3K27me3 demethylase, in regulating embryonic development. Our study shows that Kdm6b plays an essential role in neural crest development, and loss of Kdm6b disturbs p53 pathway-mediated activity, leading to complete cleft palate along with cell proliferation and differentiation defects. Furthermore, activity of H3K27me3 on the promoter of p53 is precisely controlled by Kdm6b, and Ezh2 in regulating p53 expression in cranial neural crest cells. More importantly, Kdm6b renders chromatin accessible to the transcription factor Tfdp1, which binds to the promoter of p53 along with Kdm6b to specifically activate p53 expression during palatogenesis. Collectively our results highlight the important role of the epigenetic regulator Kdm6b and how it cooperates with Tfdp1 to achieve its functional specificity in regulating p53 expression, and further provide mechanistic insights into the epigenetic regulatory network during organogenesis.
