A comprehensive comparative study on LSD1 in different cancers and tumor specific LSD1 inhibitors.
LSD1 was significantly over-expressed in several cancer types, and its aberrant overexpression was revealed to play a crucial role in the initiation and progression of cancer. Several LSD1 inhibitors that were discovered and developed so far were found to be effective in attenuating tumor growth in both in vivo and in vitro studies. However, the major challenge associated with the development of cancer therapies is personalized treatment. Therefore, it is essential to look in detail at how LSD1 plays its part in carcinogenesis and whether there are any different expression levels of LSD1 in different tumors. Here in this review, fresh insight into a list of function correlated LSD1 binding proteins are provided, and we tried to figure out the role of LSD1 in different cancer types, including hematological malignancies and solid tumors. A critical description of mutation preference for LSD1 in different tumors was also discussed. Recent research findings clearly showed that the abrogation of LSD1 demethylase activity via LSD1 inhibitors markedly reduced the growth of cancer cells. But there are still many ambiguities regarding the role of LSD1 in different cancers. Therefore, targeting LSD1 for treating different cancers is still reductionist, and many challenges need to be met to improve the therapeutic outcomes of LSD1 inhibitors.

Advances in the development of histone lysine demethylase inhibitors.
The covalent modification of histones is closely associated with regulation of gene transcription. Chromatin modifications have been suggested to represent an epigenetic code that is dynamically 'written' and 'erased' by specialized proteins, and 'read', or interpreted, by proteins that translate the code into gene expression changes. Initially thought to be an irreversible process, histone methylation is now known to be reversed by demethylases, FAD dependent amineoxidases and by iron(II)-alpha-ketoglutarate dependent deoxygenases of the Jumonji family. Altered histone demethylase activities have been associated with human disease, including cancer. The first wave of novel investigational drugs directed against KDM1A has recently entered the clinic, and the first specific inhibitor targeting a Jumonji KDM is advancing in preclinical regulatory studies.
