Expanding the Role of the Histone Lysine-Specific Demethylase LSD1 in Cancer [PDF]

, 2019
Studies of alterations in histone methylation in cancer have led to the identification of histone methyltransferases and demethylases as novel targets for therapy.

Targeting LSD1 and FOXA1 in prostate cancer

Nature Genetics, 2020
FOXA1 is a key pioneer factor in androgen-receptor activity but has been an elusive drug target. A new study shows that inhibition of the associated cofactor LSD1 modifies the methylation state of FOXA1, thus resulting in chromatin dissociation and tumor inhibition, even in models of treatment-resistant prostate cancer.

Epigenetic reprogramming in multiple myeloma—Challenges and opportunities

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 2, Page 423-432, 15 January 2026.
Abstract In cancer, mutational processes act in concert with epigenetic reprogramming to endow malignant cells with hallmark properties that underpin tumorigenesis. Compared with the relatively rigid and slow processes of genetic evolution, the plastic nature of chromatin enables cells to adapt to a changing environment more rapidly.

The faah gene is the first direct target of estrogen in the testis: role of histone demethylase LSD1 [PDF]

, 2012
Estrogen (E(2)) regulates spermatogenesis, yet its direct target genes have not been identified in the testis. Here, we cloned the proximal 5' flanking region of the mouse fatty acid amide hydrolase (faah) gene upstream of the luciferase reporter gene ...

A Transmembrane Protein WAI‐B2 Confers Multiple Disease Resistance in Wheat by Activating Autoimmunity

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 3, 14 January 2026.
Wheat production is under threat from multiple diseases. This study clones the wheat autoimmunity gene WAI‐B2 from an EMS‐induced mutant that encodes a distinct transmembrane protein conferring resistance to wheat rusts and powdery mildew ‐ two major diseases affecting wheat crops.

Relationship between seed harvesting method and seed physiological quality for a number of Pioneer maize hybrids [PDF]

, 2012
The seed germination and seed vigor of eight Pioneer Hi-Bred maize hybrids were evaluated immediately after harvesting and a year later. The aim was to determine whether the seed showed loss of germination and vigor when shelled mechanically.

Histone demethylase Lsd1 represses hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell signatures during blood cell maturation [PDF]

, 2014
Here, we describe that lysine-specific demethylase 1 (Lsd1/KDM1a), which demethylates histone H3 on Lys4 or Lys9 (H3K4/K9), is an indispensible epigenetic governor of hematopoietic differentiation. Integrative genomic analysis, combining global occupancy

Exploring the Role of Long Noncoding RNAs in Breast Cancer Progression: A Comprehensive Study on Biomarkers and Therapeutic Approaches

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Among the many forms of cancer that plague women all over the globe, breast cancer (BC) is one of the most prevalent kinds. BC is a multifaceted disease that can manifest in many ways depending on the individual. Aims The identification of new biomarkers that may be used to diagnose and prognosis of the BC, as well as those that can

Histone demethylase LSD1 restricts influenza A virus infection by erasing IFITM3-K88 monomethylation. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2017
The histone demethylase LSD1 has been known as a key transcriptional coactivator for DNA viruses such as herpes virus. Inhibition of LSD1 was found to block viral genome transcription and lytic replication of DNA viruses.

Computational modeling to elucidate molecular mechanisms of epigenetic memory

, 2015
How do mammalian cells that share the same genome exist in notably distinct phenotypes, exhibiting differences in morphology, gene expression patterns, and epigenetic chromatin statuses?
