Other names: CHD4, Chromodomain Helicase DNA Binding Protein 4, Chromodomain-Helicase-DNA-Binding Protein 4, Mi-2 Autoantigen 218 KDa Protein, ATP-Dependent Helicase CHD4, CHD-4, Mi2-BETA, Mi2-Beta, SIHIWES

G34R cancer mutation alters the conformational ensemble and dynamics of the histone H3.3 tails. (PubMed, Nucleic Acids Res)
Our results also reveal changes in the conformational ensemble of the entire tail, re-positioning it on the nucleosomal DNA and promoting intra-tail interactions. We demonstrate that these changes in the nucleosome, produced by mutations, alter the association of a tandem of plant homeodomain-fingers from CHD4 with the unmodified H3 tails.

Generation and characterization of a mouse model of conditional Chd4 knockout in the endometrial epithelium. (PubMed, PLoS One)
These findings demonstrate that Chd4 conditional knockout using BAC-Sprr2f-Cre is not sufficient to alter the structure and function of the endometrial epithelium or drive tumorigenesis. As CHD4 is frequently co-mutated with other cancer driver genes such as TP53, PIK3CA, and PTEN, future mouse modeling efforts emulating patient mutational profiles might provide insight into the role of CHD4 in endometrial carcinoma.

A genome-wide siRNA screen identifies previously unknown proviral and antiviral host factors in HBV infection. (PubMed, J Hepatol)
This study identifies NCOA5 and CHD4 as crucial proviral cofactors and NRAS as a potent antiviral factor regulating HBV replication. The findings highlight HBV's profound host dependence, uncover specific molecular mechanisms (involving HNF4A, epigenetic regulation of cccDNA, and cell cycle), and reveal validated host targets for potential therapeutic strategies against HBV infection.

Frequent genetic alterations in myositis autoantigen genes in cancer-associated dermatomyositis. (PubMed, Ann Rheum Dis)
We detected highly frequent genetic alterations in autoantibody-related genes, supporting their role in the CAD pathogenic mechanisms. Moreover, our findings suggest that distinct TCR repertoire and immune signatures between tumoural and nontumoural tissues may underlie divergent cancer and dermatomyositis outcomes.

Disulfidptosis-linked Gene Signatures Constituted of Prognostic Prediction Models in Prostate Cancer. (PubMed, Cancer Diagn Progn)
In particular, the prognostic formula comprising ZHX2, SMPD4, and CHD4 using the Lasso-Cox regression model properly distinguished the BCR-free survival curves, indicating that these genes could be signatures for disulfidptosis. Decoding disulfidptosis-related data in the transcriptome would provide crucial clues for finding novel approaches to personalized cancer medicine in prostate cancer.

Case Report: Novel mutation in CHD4 triggers occult breast cancer with bone metastases. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Multimodal analysis (PET/CT, biomarkers, pathology) confirmed the case as luminal-A subtype and revealed a significant response to endocrine therapy. We hypothesize that this CHD4 mutation may alter the protein's dual regulatory balance, particularly enhancing its potential gene-activating functions, and propose that impaired chromatin remodeling driven by such mutations is associated with metastatic progression of breast cancer.

5-Azacytidine and decitabine induce C > G transversions in both murine and human cells. (PubMed, Leukemia)
Furthermore, similar GEMINI assays revealed induction of C > G mutations in cells treated with decitabine. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that azanucleosides induce C > G mutations both in vitro and in vivo, and are linked to leukemic transformation in murine cells.

Generation and characterization of a mouse model of conditional Chd4 knockout in the endometrial epithelium. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
These findings demonstrate that Chd4 conditional loss using BAC-Sprr2f-Cre is not sufficient to alter the structure and function of the endometrial epithelium or drive tumorigenesis. As CHD4 is frequently co-mutated with other cancer driver genes such as TP53, PIK3CA, and PTEN, future mouse modeling efforts emulating patient mutational profiles might provide insight into the role of CHD4 in endometrial carcinoma.

Expanding the spectrum of AFF2 carcinoma: clinical, morphological, immunohistochemical, and molecular characteristics of five cases harboring alternate fusions. (PubMed, Virchows Arch)
These findings suggest that AFF2-rearranged tumors form a spectrum of carcinomas with diverse morphologies, immunophenotypes, and differentiation patterns. Given the consistent involvement of the AFF2 gene and uniform AFF2 immunohistochemical positivity despite morphological heterogeneity, we propose naming this entity AFF2 carcinoma.

CHD4 Drives Gastric Cancer Metastasis via MYH9/GSK3β/β-Catenin Axis and WNT/EMT Pathway Activation. (PubMed, Cancer Lett)
Functionally, suppression of CHD4 expression inhibited GC cell migration, invasion, and metastasis in vivo, while MYH9 restoration reversed these effects. Collectively, these findings establish CHD4 as a key regulator of GC metastasis through the MYH9/GSK3β/β-catenin axis and underscore its potential as a therapeutic target for inhibiting GC progression.
