Depletion of bleomycin hydrolase (Blmh) downregulates histone demethylase Phf8, impairs mTOR signaling/autophagy, accelerates amyloid beta accumulation, and induces neurological deficits in mice

Authors : Witucki, Łukasz (2023)

Bleomycin hydrolase (BLMH), a homocysteine (Hcy)-thiolactone detoxifying enzyme, is attenuated in brains of Alzheimer’s disease patients. In mice, Blmh depletion causes astrogliosis and behavioral changes. Depletion of histone demethylase PHF8, which controls mTOR signaling by demethylating H4K20me1, causes neuropathy in humans and mice. Here we examined how Blmh depletion affects the Phf8/H4K20me1/mTOR signaling/autophagy pathway and amyloid beta (Aβ) accumul...

Homocysteine Metabolites Inhibit Autophagy and Elevate Amyloid Beta by Impairing Phf8/H4K20me1-dependent Epigenetic Regulation of mTOR in Cystathionine β-Synthase-Deficient Mice

Authors : witucki (2023)

The loss of cystathionine β-synthase (CBS), an important homocysteine (Hcy)-metabolizing enzyme or the loss of PHF8, an important histone demethylase participating in epigenetic regulation, causes severe mental retardation in humans. Similar neuropathies were also observed in Cbs-/- and Phf8-/- mice. How CBS or PHF8 depletion can cause neuropathy was unknown. To answer this question, we examined a possible interaction between PHF8 and CBS u...
