Abstract
Autophagy dysfunction is associated with changes in autophagy-related genes. Various factors are connected to autophagy, and the mechanism regulating autophagy is highly complicated. Epigenetic changes, such as aberrant expression of histone demethylase, are actively associated not only with oncogenesis but also with inflammatory responses. Among post-translational modifications, histone lysine methylation holds significant importance. There are over 30 members of histone lysine demethylases (KDMs), which act as epigenetic regulators in physiological processes and diseases. Importantly, KDMs are abnormally expressed in the regulation of cellular autophagy and inflammation, representing a crucial mechanism affecting inflammation-related diseases. This article reviewed the function of KDMs proteins in autophagy and inflammation. Specifically, It focused on the specific regulatory mechanisms underlying the activation or inhibition of autophagy, as well as their abnormal expression in inflammatory responses. By analyzing each KDM in epigenetic modification, this review provides a reliable theoretical basis for clinical decision marking regarding autophagy abnormalities and inflammatory diseases.
期刊介绍:
Cell Communication and Signaling (CCS) is a peer-reviewed, open-access scientific journal that focuses on cellular signaling pathways in both normal and pathological conditions. It publishes original research, reviews, and commentaries, welcoming studies that utilize molecular, morphological, biochemical, structural, and cell biology approaches. CCS also encourages interdisciplinary work and innovative models, including in silico, in vitro, and in vivo approaches, to facilitate investigations of cell signaling pathways, networks, and behavior.
Starting from January 2019, CCS is proud to announce its affiliation with the International Cell Death Society. The journal now encourages submissions covering all aspects of cell death, including apoptotic and non-apoptotic mechanisms, cell death in model systems, autophagy, clearance of dying cells, and the immunological and pathological consequences of dying cells in the tissue microenvironment.
