Abstract
In this study from Oser et al., the authors investigated how RB1 loss causes a neuroendocrine phenotype in different tumor types. They show that histone demethylase KDM5A (also known as RBP2 or JARID1A) promotes small cell lung cancer (SCLC) proliferation and SCLCs neuroendocrine differentiation phenotype through sustained expression of the neuroendocrine transcription factor ASCL1 by repressing NOTCH2 and NOTCH target genes, thereby establishing a role for KDM5A in SCLC tumorigenesis.
