JIB-04 is a pan-selective Jumonji histone demethylase inihibitor with IC50 values of 230, 340, 855, 445, 435, 1100, and 290nM for JARID1A, JMJD2E, JMJD3, JMJD2A, JMJD2B, JMJD2C, and JMJD2D, respectively[1]. Jumonji family histone demethylases, a class of enzymes that specifically remove methyl groups from histones, regulate gene expression and cellular functions, and play key roles in cell differentiation, development, gene silencing, and cancer progression[2]. JIB-04 is usually used in cancer and antiviral research[3][4].
In vitro, treatment of human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs) with JIB-04 (0.5μM; 24-72h) inhibited cell proliferation and migration, arrested cell cycle at the G2/M phase, reduced cell viability, and decreased DNA replication[5]. JIB-04(0.25-1μM; 48-72h) inhibited cell viability and induced cell apoptosis of MHCC97H and HepG2 cells in a concentration-dependent manner[6].
In vivo, JIB-04 (50mg/kg; intratumoral injection; weekly for 3 weeks) reduced tumor volume and downregulated MECOM, EGR1, and KRAS expression in SKOV3 cell-derived ovarian cancer xenografts in SCID mice[7].

JIB-04是一种泛选择性Jumonji组蛋白去甲基化酶抑制剂,对JARID1A、JMJD2E、JMJD3、JMJD2A、JMJD2B、JMJD2C和JMJD2D的IC50值分别为230nM、340nM、855nM、445nM、435nM、1100nM和290nM[1]。Jumonji家族组蛋白去甲基化酶是一类能够特异性去除组蛋白上甲基化修饰的酶,通过调节组蛋白的甲基化状态影响基因表达和细胞功能,在细胞分化、发育、基因沉默以及癌症发生等生物学过程中发挥着重要作用[2]。JIB-04常用于癌症和抗病毒研究[3][4]。
在体外实验中,用JIB-04(0.5μM;24-72小时)处理人主动脉平滑肌细胞(HASMCs)可以抑制细胞增殖和迁移,使细胞周期停滞在G2/M期,降低细胞活性,并减少DNA复制[5]。JIB-04(0.25-1μM;48-72小时)以浓度依赖的方式抑制MHCC97H和HepG2细胞的活性,并诱导细胞凋亡[6]。
在体内实验中,JIB-04(50mg/kg;瘤内注射;每周给药一次,持续3周)减少了SKOV3细胞来源的卵巢癌异种移植瘤在SCID小鼠中的肿瘤体积,并下调了MECOM、EGR1和KRAS的表达[7]。
