LSD1 inhibtion in NEPC cell line models.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is a histone demethylase that promotes stemness and cancer cell survival, including in prostate cancer. Most prostate malignancies are adenocarcinomas with luminal differentiation. However, a subset of tumors undergoes cellular reprogramming to a more lethal neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) with neuronal differentiation. The frequency of NEPC is increasing since widespread use of potent androgen receptor signaling inhibitors. Currently, there are no effective treatments for NEPC. We previously determined that LSD1 promotes survival of prostate adenocarcinoma tumors. However, role of LSD1 in NEPC is largely unknown. We sought to identify key genes and molecular pathways controlled by LSD1 in NEPC. We therefore inhibited LSD1 with SP2509 and performed RNA-seq in LASCPC-01, LNCaP-N-Myc, and MR42D cell lines. The vast majority of differentially expressed genes after SP2509 treatment were upregulated, suggesting that LSD1 may primarily function as a transcriptional repressor in NEPC. RNA-seq analysis reveals that LSD1 represses pathways linked to luminal differentiation and TP53 is the top pathway reactivated after LSD1 suppression. Taken together, these data suggest that LSD1 may be an important regulator of TP53 function in prostate cancer.
