LNCaP LSD1 knockdown and SP-2509 treatment ChIP-seq data

ABSTRACT: LSD1 (also known as KDM1A) is a histone demethylase and a key regulator of gene expression in embryonic stem cells and cancer.1,2 LSD1 was initially identified as a transcriptional repressor via its demethylation of active histone H3 marks (di-methyl lysine 4 [2MK4]).1 In prostate cancer, specifically, LSD1 also co-localizes with the AR and demethylates repressive 2MK9 histone marks from androgen-responsive AR target genes, facilitating androgen-mediated induction of AR-regulated gene expression and androgen-induced proliferation in androgen-dependent cancers. We report here that the LSD1 protein is universally upregulated in human CRPC and promotes survival of CRPC cell lines. This effect is explained in part by LSD1-induced activation of cell cycle and embryonic stem cell gene sets—
