Abstract: Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of UNC0379, an inhibitor of lysine methyltransferase 5A (KMT5A), on the proliferation of glioma cells. Methods LN229 cells were treated with UNC0379, then cell proliferation was detected by Cell counting kit-8 (CCK8), and cell apoptosis and cell cycle were measured by flow cytometry. Multi-drug combination response was also analyzed to evaluate the impact of UNC0379 on temozolomide efficacy in glioma cells. Results UNC0379 inhibited the proliferation of LN229 cells effectively (P<0.05). Although UNC0379 didn’t induce apoptosis in LN229 cells, the percentage of G2/M cells increased. UNC0379 also promoted the efficacy of temozolomide in LN229 cells. Conclusion UNC0379 could inhibit the proliferation of glioma cells by inducing cell cycle arrest and could also enhance temozolomide efficacy.

Key words: histone methyltransferase inhibitor, glioma, cell apoptosis, cell cycle, temozolomide
