Table 1. The roles of KDM5B in various cancers were studied so far.

Type of cancer Functional classification Specific functions Ref.
Breast cancer oncogenic/ tumor suppressive First identified as an H3K4 demethylase, a specific DNA-binding protein and a potential downstream target of HER2/ERBB2. KDM5B promoted cell proliferation though transcriptional repressing tumor suppressor genes, luminal-high genes, specific microRNAs and contributed to poor survival. In some certain types of breast cancer like ER- or TNBC, KDM5B served as an anti-oncogenic player. 1,18,24,56-65
Melanoma oncogenic/ tumor suppressive High KDM5B expression was correlated with lower survival. KDM5B exerted tumor suppressive functions through many ways. KDM5B may have a dual role over time, first anti-proliferative but long-term tumor maintaining. Inhibition of mitochondrial respiratory chain decreased the slow-cycling KDM5B high cells and overcame drug-resistant. 36,63,66-71
Bladder cancer oncogenic KDM5B depletion resulted in suppression of cell growth through co-regulation of the E2F/RB1 pathway. KDM5B repressed connexin 26's expression. 72,73
Lung cancer oncogenic KDM5B depletion resulted in suppression of cell growth through co-regulation of the E2F/RB1 pathway. KDM5B stimulated cell proliferation and invasion by affecting p53. 72,74
Gastric cancer oncogenic KDM5B promoted cell growth and metastasis by regulating Akt pathway. 75
Prostate cancer oncogenic KDM5B promoted androgen receptor target genes’ activation. It was negative regulated by miR-29a and its protein stability was modulated by SKP2. 8,9,31,76
Hepatocellular carcinoma oncogenic KDM5B expression was related well with tumor size, TNM stage, edmondson grade, and poor prognosis. 77
Neuroblastoma oncogenic KDM5B promoted tumor sphere formation and invasion and resisted cisplatin treatment. 78
Oral squamous cancer oncogenic Silencing KDM5B inhibited CSC activity, migration and invasion, potentiated the effect of radiation therapy. 79
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma oncogenic KDM5B knockdown resulted in G1 arrest and early apoptosis by suppressing Bcl-2 family members. 80
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma oncogenic KDM5B knockdown suppressed cancer cell growth, invasion, sphere formation and tumorigenicity. A correlation was observed between KDM5B nuclear expression level and histological grade. 81,82
Colorectal cancer oncogenic KDM5B depletion induced cellular senescence and suppressed cancer cell growth. 35
Epithelial ovarian cancer oncogenic High KDM5B expression was associated with low PFS, OS and chemotherapy resistance. 83
cervical cancer oncogenic High KDM5B expression was associated with cancer cell growth and tumorigenicity. 72
renal cell carcinoma oncogenic High KDM5B expression was associated with cancer cell growth and tumorigenicity. 72
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma oncogenic High frequency of KDM5B CT gene expression appeared to be a good candidate for therapy. 84
Leukemia oncogenic Depletion of KDM5B resulted in losing cell viability and inducing apoptosis. 85
