A study published in <em>Nature<\/em> now shows that KDM5C acts in a specific developmental window directly on WNT signaling and thus ensures timely differentiation of neuronal progenitor cells. Variants in <em>KDM5C<\/em> are known to cause neurodevelopmental disorders with intellectual disability, but the underlying mechanisms have not yet been revealed.<\/p>\n<p>The protein encoded by <em>KDM5C<\/em> is a histone demethylase that regulates gene expression by altering chromatin conformation. The authors of the study used patient-derived cells and a knockout mouse model to investigate cellular processes, gene expression, chromatin and mice behavior affected by <em>KDM5C<\/em> variants. The results suggest that KDM5C directly regulates expression of specific target genes involved in WNT signaling and thus ensures differentiation of primary into intermediary progenitor cells during neurogenesis. The researchers also revealed that transient modulation of WNT signaling is sufficient to reverse gene expression and chromatin-related alterations in patient-derived cells and to induce them in wildtype cells. This might form the basis for a potential novel therapeutic target in the future.<\/p>\n[vc_column_text]Karwacki-Neisius V, Jang A, Cukuroglu E, \u2026 Shi Y.
