Influence of histone lysine demethylase JMJD2-specific inhibition on the senescence-associated secretory phenotype developed in human stromal cells upon DNA damage

Recent advances in next generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized system-based analysis of genome-wide expression, cellular pathways and responses. We performed this epigenetic study to streamline the transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) of human stromal cells developing a typical senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) upon stress induced by DNA damage or DNA damage together with pharmacological targeting of JMJD2, a trimethylation-specific demethylase of histone H3K9 and H3K36.
