Aim: To assess the correlation between KDM6B and estrogen receptor beta (ER beta) expression in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). Materials & methods: We evaluated gene expression by in silico analysis of microarray data, real-time PCR and western blot in MPM tumors and cell lines. Results & conclusion: We report a strong positive correlation between the expression of KDM6B and ER beta in MPM tumors and cell lines. We describe that, in hypoxia, the HIF2 alpha-KDM6B axis induces an epithelioid morphology and ER beta expression in biphasic MPM cells with estrogen receptor-negative phenotype. Reduced histone H3K27 tri-methylation confirms KDM6B activity under hypoxic conditions. Importantly, cells treated during reoxygenation with the selective ER beta agonist, KB9520, maintain ER beta expression and the less aggressive phenotype acquired in hypoxia.
