Supplementary Materials and Methods
Human tissue samples and clinical information
Urothelial bladder tumors were diagnosed and classified by histopathological
examination of surgically excised tumors, according to the WHO classification system. Snap
frozen bladder tumor tissues and corresponding matched normal samples (whole blood) from 51
patients with urothelial bladder carcinoma were obtained from Singapore General Hospital in
Singapore. 125 additional bladder tumors were obtained from Chang Gung Memorial Hospital
(Taiwan). The human biological samples were sourced ethically and their research use was in
accordance with the terms outlined in the informed consent forms, under the protocols approved
by the SingHealth Institutional Review Board and Human Research Ethics Committee of the
Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. Snap frozen tumor tissues and normal samples were prioritized
for DNA extraction and Sanger sequencing, and remaining tumor tissues were used for RNA
extraction where available. Corresponding archival formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE)
samples from 41 patients in Singapore and 57 patients in Taiwan were also used in this study.
The background and clinicopathologic data of these patients (n = 176) treated in Singapore and
Taiwan are summarized in table S1. The somatic mutation data from 342 additional urothelial
bladder carcinoma patients were previously published (9, 11, 21, 22). A total of 518 tumors were
analyzed for KDM6A mutation status.
Sanger sequencing of KDM6A
Primers for PCR and Sanger sequencing (tables S12–S13) were designed using Primer3
(58) and Vector NTI Software (Life Technologies). Purified PCR products were sequenced in
forward and reverse directions using BigDye Terminator v3.1 Cycle Sequencing Kit and ABI
PRISM 3730 Genetic Analyzer (Applied Biosystems). When the design of primers was not
possible at a few regions, purified PCR products were sequenced twice in the same direction.
Sequencing trace chromatograms were analyzed on SeqMan Pro program from DNASTAR
multiple program package (DNASTAR Inc.) and by manual review.
Antibodies
The following primary antibodies were used for Western blot analysis: rabbit anti-
KDM6A kindly provided by Dr. Eli Canaani (20) or purchased from Sigma-Aldrich
(Cat#HPA002111), mouse monoclonal anti-EZH2 (AC22 clone; Cat#3147), rabbit monoclonal
anti-H3K27me3 (C36B11 clone; Cat#9733) , rabbit monoclonal anti-Histone H3 (D1H2 clone;
Cat#4499) from Cell Signaling Technology, and mouse monoclonal anti-β-Actin (AC-15 clone;
Cat#A1978) from Sigma-Aldrich. Secondary antibodies used were sheep anti-mouse IgG and
donkey anti-rabbit IgG, conjugated with horseradish peroxidase, from GE Healthcare Life
Sciences. Primary antibodies specific for H3K27me3 (clone C36B11; Cat#9733) and EZH2
(clone D2C9 XP; Cat#3147) from Cell Signaling Technology, and IGFBP3 (H-98; Cat#sc-9028)
from Santa Cruz Biotechnology were used for IHC. Primary antibodies specific for H3K27me3
(Abcam; Cat#ab6002) and EZH2 (Diagenode; Cat#MAb-180-050; lot #001) were used for ChIP-
Seq.
Extraction and amplification of DNA from patient samples and cell lines
Total genomic DNA from snap frozen human bladder tumor tissues, whole blood, or cell
lines was extracted and purified using Blood and Cell Culture DNA Kit (Qiagen) according to
manufacturer’s instructions. Purified genomic DNA from patient samples was amplified using
illustra GenomiPhi HY DNA Amplification Kit (GE Healthcare Life Sciences) before further
sequencing.
Extraction of RNA from patient samples and cell lines
Total RNA was extracted using Trizol reagent (Life Technologies), followed by
purification using RNeasy kit (Qiagen).
Cell proliferation assay
Cell proliferation was examined by using colorimetric BrdU cell proliferation ELISA kit
(Roche Applied Science) or CellTiter 96 AQueous One Solution Cell Proliferation Assay kit
(MTS; Promega) following manufacturers’ instructions. Briefly, cells were seeded at an initial
density of 1-6x103 per well in 96-well plate format. Upon harvest, cells were subjected to the
incorporation of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) and subsequent incubation with specific anti-BrdU
antibody and substrate reagent. The absorbance at 370 nm (with reference at 492 nm),
representing the amount of incorporated BrdU or cell proliferation, was measured on TECAN
Safire 2 microplate reader. All experiments were performed in replicate for a minimum of three
independent experiments.
Computational Modelling of KDM6A point mutations
Starting structures
Protein coordinates were obtained from the crystal structures of the human KDM6A
protein (apo and holo form; PDB 3AVS, 3AVR) (23). The N- and C-terminal residues were
capped with acetyl (ACE) and N-methyl (NME) groups, respectively.
Modeling the mutations and generation of the mutant complexes
The ten individual KDM6A mutants (p.N1087I, p.M1129I, p.Q958K, p.P966L, p.V967F,
p.D980N, p.E1010G, p.E1102K, p.L1103P, p.Y1249C) were modeled using the apo form of
protein KDM6A (PDB 3AVS) as template, using MODELER version 9.12 (59). The mutated
protein was then docked with the histone H3 peptide using the HADDOCK server (60). The best
docked structure for subsequent MD simulations was selected using the criteria: (1) the structure
having the smallest Haddock score, and (2) the most negative Z-score.
General molecular dynamics (MD) simulations
All MD simulations were done using version 4.5 of the Groningen machine for chemical
simulations (GROMACS) (61) and/or assisted model building with energy refinement (AMBER)
v12 (62) software packages. All analyses used GROMOS96 53a6 (63) parameters for the protein.
The binding energy calculations were performed with AMBER99SB parameters (64). The total
charge was neutralized by addition of counter ions Na+ or Cl− explicitly. Each system was
solvated with SPC water in a cubic simulation box (120 Å per side).
A step-wise protocol was employed for MD equilibration beginning with heating in the
NVT ensemble to 300 K over 50 ps. Subsequently, water, hydrogen atoms, and counter ions
were equilibrated for a further 50 ps in the NPT ensemble at 300 K at a pressure of 1 bar;
temperature was held constant at 300 K by velocity rescaling with a coupling time constant of
0.1 ps. Finally, simulations were run for another 50 ns, at which point the data were analyzed.
Analysis
The conformational properties of each of the complexes were analyzed in terms of
RMSD of the peptide backbone atoms (Cα, N, C, O) using GROMACS tool g_rms. The RMSD
values for each complex were calculated relative to the first time step of the MD simulation, and
also with reference to the experimental coordinates reported recently for KDM6A (23).
Structural stability was also seen in terms of fluctuation of each atom about its average position
using the GROMACS tool g_rmsf and on overall folding by calculation of radius of gyration. A
detailed analysis of the hydrogen bond network was carried out for each complex with a distance
cut-off of 3.5 Å and an angle cut-off of 120 degrees using GROMACS tool g_bond. This
generated a hydrogen bonding map and an index, which were further used to investigate
individual bonds and their % occupancies throughout the simulation.
Binding free energies were also analyzed from water stripped AMBER trajectories based
on the MM/GBSA (Molecular Mechanics / Generalized Born Surface Area) (65) method, using
MMPBSA.py program (66), and the solvation energy was approximated through the GB implicit
solvation model (igb = 5) (67). Alanine scanning experiment was done to identify hotspot
residues that have important contributions in binding interactions.
RNA sequencing-based transcriptional profiling
Sequencing libraries were prepared using Illumina Tru-Seq RNA Sample Preparation v2
(Illumina) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, Poly-A enrichment was
performed on 1 g of isolated RNA using poly-T oligo attached to magnetic beads. Recovered
poly-A enriched RNA was fragmented chemically and converted to cDNA using SuperScript II
and random primers. The second strand was then synthesized using the Second Strand Master
Mix provided in the kit and then purified by AMPure XP beads. After this, 3’ to 5’ exonuclease
was used to repair the ends of cDNA. A single adenosine was then added to the 3’ end. Using T4
DNA ligase, the indexing adaptors were ligated to both ends of the 3’-adenylated cDNA. The
fragments with attached adapters were then amplified by PCR to constitute the libraries.
Libraries were validated using Agilent DNA 1000 Kit and an Agilent Bioanalyzer (Agilent
Technologies). Validated libraries were diluted to 11 pM and hybridized to an Illumina flow cell
for cluster generation using Illumina Cluster Station. Subsequently, sequencing was performed
on an Illumina High Seq2000 sequencer in paired-end 76-bp read manner according to
manufacturer’s instructions.
Interrogation of PRC2-related pathway in bladder cancer
To examine the PRC2-related pathway in bladder cancer, bladder urothelial cancer cell
lines RT-112 and KU-19-19 were treated with either GSK343 (5 M or 10 M; inhibitor of
EZH2) or vehicle control for 3 days. The total RNA was then extracted by Trizol reagent (Life
Technologies), followed by purification using RNeasy kit (Qiagen). TriGene expression profiling
was performed on isolated RNA using the Affymetrix GeneChip U133 Plus 2.0 platform
(Affymetrix) according to manufacturer’s protocol. Resulting CEL files were loaded into the R
statistical environment (http://www.r-project.org) for further analysis. After importing the CEL
files using the simpleaffy package (68), the data were pre-processed using the Robust Multi-
array Average (RMA) method (69) and then quantile normalized. Probe-level gene expression
values were summarized to gene-level expression values using the BrainArray custom CDF
(Chip Definition File) (70). For each cell line, expression values for treatment conditions (for
example 5 M or 10 M GSK343) were converted to log2 fold change values relative to vehicle
control. All values used were averages of microarray experiments from two independent
biological replicates.
Gene set enrichment analysis was then performed in the following fashion. First, log2
fold change values (10 M treatment vs vehicle control) for the two bladder cancer cell lines
(KU-19-19 and RT-112) were averaged and converted to z-scores. Genes with z-score > 2 were
considered to be significantly up-regulated. These genes were then compared against curated
gene sets (C2) from the Molecular Signatures Database (MSigDB) (51). Fisher’s exact test was
used to identify gene sets that had an over-representation of genes up-regulated in these cell lines,
and a p-value threshold of 0.05 was used. PRC2-related genesets,
BENPORATH_ES_WITH_H3K27ME3, NUYTTEN_EZH2_TARGETS_UP,
BENPORATH_SUZ12_TARGETS, BENPORATH_EED_TARGETS and
BENPORATH_PRC2_TARGETS, were among the top hits. The over-represented genes from
these genesets were used to generate a 174-gene bladder cancer EZH2 inhibitor-related
expression gene signature.
Copy number analysis
Human TaqMan Copy Number Reference Assays (RNAase P, cat# 4400293) were run with
human TaqMan Copy Number Assays (UTY, cat# 4400291:Hs01079454_cn) in a duplex real-
time PCR reaction to detect and measure the relative copy number changes in 51 tumor and
matched normal urothelial bladder carcinoma samples following the manufacturer’s instructions
(ABI). The copyCaller software (ABI) was used to classify copy number gain or loss.
shRNA procedures
shRNA-mediated EZH2 knockdown was performed by infecting RT-4 and KU-19-19
cells with lentiviral transduction particles (Dharmacon) containing a non-targeting shRNA
(shCtrl) or shRNA specific for human EZH2 (shEZH2_1 and shEZH2_2). shRNA gene target
sequences were as follows: shEZH2_1: GAAAGAACGGAAATCTTAA and shEZH2_2:
TCGAGAAAGATACAGCTGA. Three days after lentiviral infection, infected cells were
selected with 2 µg/ml puromycin (Sigma-Aldrich) before being subjected to a cell proliferation
assay. EZH2 knockdown in selected cells was assessed by Western blot analysis.
Generation of isogenic KDM6A knockout cell lines
We used transcription activator-like (TAL) effector nucleases (TALENs) to generate
isogenic KDM6A knockout RT-4 cell lines, RT-4 KO1 and RT-4 KO2. The TALEN pairs
customized to target exon 2 of KDM6A (Ensembl transcript ID: ENST00000377967) were
purchased from Cellectis bioresearch SAS and used to create KDM6A gene disruption in RT-4
cell line, according to manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, plasmids containing TALEN pairs
with DNA binding recognition sites of KDM6A, as well as pCMV-AC-GFP plasmid (Origene
Technologies Inc.), which carries a GFP transgene and puromycin selection marker, were co-
transfected into RT-4 cell line using FuGENE HD Transfection Reagent (Promega). Transfected
cells were selected by 2 g/ml puromycin 72 h after transfection. Subsequently, antibiotic-
selected cells were serially diluted, and single clones of cells were selected. Positive clones (RT4
KO1 and RT4 KO2) containing small insertions or deletions at exon 2 of KDM6A coding
sequence were verified by both Sanger sequencing and Western Blot. The DNA binding
sequences corresponding to KDM6A gene sequences were as follows: TALEN binding site left –
TGTGTCTGTCTCCACAG, TALEN binding site right – TCGTGAGATTTCATGAA. The
spacer region of TALEN pairs corresponding to KDM6A sequences was CCGCCTCTTTGGGT.
The indels generated by TALEN in the KDM6A gene were verified by Sanger sequencing (fig.
S9).
Re-introduction of KDM6A
The full length open reading frame of KDM6A cloned into pLenti-C-mGFP was
purchased from Origene Technologies Inc. The pLenti expression vector was then packaged into
lentiviral particles using Lenti-vpak Lentiviral Packaging Kit (Origene Technologies Inc.) and
HEK293T cell line, according to manufacturer’s instruction. The viral supernatant was collected,
and the viral titer was examined by Lenti-X GoStix (Clontech) before being transduced into KU-
19-19 cell line. To select for a cell clone with stable KDM6A expression, transduced cells were
serially diluted and single clones of cells were selected. Positive clones (Clone 1 and Clone 2)
expressing KDM6A were verified by Western blot. The same procedure was applied to the
generation of empty vector expressing control of KU-19-19.
Quantitative real-time PCR
Total purified RNA (1 g) was reverse transcribed to cDNA using iScript cDNA Synthesis
Kit (Bio-Rad) following manufacturer’s instructions. Expression of target genes was examined
using specific primers, SsoFast EvaGreen Supermix, and a CFX96 Real-Time PCR Detection
System (Bio-Rad) according to manufacturer’s recommendations. Primers used for the detection
were: KDM6A-F, 5’- AGCGCAAAGGAGCCGTGGAAAA-3’; KDM6A-R, 5’-
GTCGTTCACCATTAGGACCTGC-3’; IGFBP3-F, 5’-CGCTACAAAGTTGACTACGAGTC-
3’; IGFBP3-R, 5’-GTCTTCCATTTCTCTACGGCAGG-3’; GAPDH-F, 5’-
GTCTCCTCTGACTTCAACAGCG-3’; GAPDH-R, 5’- ACCACCCTGTTGCTGTAGCCAA-3’.
Relative quantification of the mRNA for KDM6A and IGFBP3 was performed by the
comparative Cq method with GAPDH as reference gene using the formula 2-Cq. Log2 fold-
change values of gene expression across the samples was derived and used for subsequent
statistical analysis.
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis
Archival, de-identified FFPE samples from bladder cancer primary tissues were obtained
from Department of Pathology at both Singapore General Hospital in Singapore and Chang
Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan. KU-19-19-derived xenografts removed upon termination of
mice were also portioned and embedded in paraffin. Histopathological features of the FFPE
sections were reviewed for the study by pathologists blinded to the results of IHC analysis.
IHC staining was performed with Leica BOND-MAX or BOND-III IHC instruments
(Leica Biosystems), according to manufacturer’s recommendations. Briefly, sections from FFPE
samples were cut at 4-5 m, deparaffinized in Bond Dewax solution, and rehydrated through
100% ethanol to 1 X Bond Wash Solution. Antigen retrieval was performed in Bond Epitope
Retrieval Solution for 40 min at °C and followed by proteinase K treatment. After
endogenous peroxidase blocking with 3-4% H2O2 in Tris-buffered saline (TBS) for 15 min at
room temperature (RT), the sections were incubated with 10% goat serum in TBS for 1 hour as
part of non-specific background blocking. Sections were then incubated with primary antibodies
specific for IGFBP3 clone H-98, H3K27me3 clone C36B11 or EZH2 clone D2C9 XP (Cell
Signaling) for 20 min, followed by 5 min incubation with anti-rabbit labelled polymer.
Subsequently, sections were incubated with Bond Mixed DAB Refine for the detection, before
they were counterstained with hematoxylin for 5 min. Negative controls were stained in parallel
by treating sections simultaneously omitting the primary antibody. The IHC staining of FFPE
slides from KU-19-19-derived xenografts were performed by the Advanced Molecular Pathology
Laboratory, IMCB, Singapore.
Western blot analysis
After two washes with PBS, cells were harvested on ice by RIPA lysis buffer (50 mM
Tris pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.1 % SDS, 1 % Igepal CA-630, and 1 % sodium
deoxycholate) in the presence of protease and phosphatase inhibitors (Roche). Whole-cell lysates
were then collected, sonicated, and centrifuged at 20,000 g for 20 min at 4 C. Protein
concentrations of the supernatant containing protein extracts were determined with a
bicinchoninic acid (BCA) protein assay (Merck Millipore) or DC Protein Assay (Bio-rad). 20 µg
total protein extracts were separated using 8-12 % SDS-polyacrylamide gels, transferred to
nitrocellulose membrane (Bio-rad), blocked with 5 % nonfat milk, and probed with primary
antibodies at 4 C overnight. After 3 washes, the membrane was incubated with appropriate
peroxidase-linked secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature and washed 5 times. All
washes and incubations were done in Tris-buffered saline with 0.1 % Tween 20 (TBST; 137 mM
Sodium Chloride, 20 mM Tris pH 7.6, and 0.1 % Tween-20). Proteins were detected using
Amersham ECL Prime Western Blotting Detection Reagent (GE Healthcare Life Sciences) or
SuperSignal West Pico Chemiluminescent Substrate (Pierce) and were visualized by
autoradiography on CL-XPosure Film (Thermo Scientific). The protein bands were quantified
using the scanner GS-800 (Bio-rad) and the software Quantity One.
Supplementary Figures
Supplementary Figure 1. Structural modeling and molecular dynamic simulation of 10
missense mutations in primary bladder cancer patients.
Crystal structures for the JmjC domain and the C-terminal region of KDM6A are available. We
evaluated the impact of missense mutations (n=10) located at the above-mentioned domains on
KDM6A function. A, Alanine substitution scanning was used to examine the effect of KDM6A
interaction with histone 3 (H3) peptide. p.N1087 and p.M1129 KDM6A mutants demonstrated
changes in free energy of binding. Therefore, we performed in-depth mutation modeling and
substrate docking simulation analysis on the crystal structure of KDM6A-H3 complex with these
two mutations. B, Both mutants (p.N1087I and p.M1129I) showed substantial increased free
energy of binding relative to the wildtype KDM6A structure, suggesting that the binding
between KDM6A mutants and H3 is unstable. C, Both p.M1129I and p.N1087I demonstrated a
decrease in the number of hydrogen bonds, indicating that the binding affinity between KDM6A
mutants and H3 is reduced. D, p.M1129I and p.N1087I are located at the binding region of
KDM6A with H3 peptide. For both mutants, their respective atomic distance at the mutated
position relative to H3 peptide increased, which may affect KDM6A demethylase function. E,
The decrease in distance between H3 to the L1127 position in p.N1087I and p.M1129I mutants,
indicating a change in the orientation of H3 with the central cavity of JmjC -barrel in KDM6A.
F, Compared to human wildtype KDM6A structure, the backbone root-mean-square deviation
(RMSD) plot showed increased structural fluctuation in p.N1087I and p.M1129I, indicating
overall structural instability in both mutants. Together, the data provide a structural basis for the
negative impact of the two missense mutants on KDM6A demethylase function.

response curves were fitted, and IC50 of GSK126 and EPZ6438 were determined by curve
