This correlated with reduced stability of the JMJD1a protein on CDM when compared with plastic (Fig. 2g), indicating that CDM-induced repression of JMJD1a first on the protein level and subsequently on mRNA level correlates with the CDM-induced growth inhibition of cancer cells when compared with cells grown on plastic (Fig. 1b,c). The gene discussed is KDM3A; the disease is cancer.
