Human LSD1/CoREST bound to the quinazoline inhibitor MC4106
Structural highlights
Function[KDM1A_HUMAN] Histone demethylase that demethylates both 'Lys-4' (H3K4me) and 'Lys-9' (H3K9me) of histone H3, thereby acting as a coactivator or a corepressor, depending on the context. Acts by oxidizing the substrate by FAD to generate the corresponding imine that is subsequently hydrolyzed. Acts as a corepressor by mediating demethylation of H3K4me, a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. Demethylates both mono- (H3K4me1) and di-methylated (H3K4me2) H3K4me. May play a role in the repression of neuronal genes. Alone, it is unable to demethylate H3K4me on nucleosomes and requires the presence of RCOR1/CoREST to achieve such activity. Also acts as a coactivator of androgen receptor (ANDR)-dependent transcription, by being recruited to ANDR target genes and mediating demethylation of H3K9me, a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression. The presence of PRKCB in ANDR-containing complexes, which mediates phosphorylation of 'Thr-6' of histone H3 (H3T6ph), a specific tag that prevents demethylation H3K4me, prevents H3K4me demethylase activity of KDM1A. Demethylates di-methylated 'Lys-370' of p53/TP53 which prevents interaction of p53/TP53 with TP53BP1 and represses p53/TP53-mediated transcriptional activation. Demethylates and stabilizes the DNA methylase DNMT1. Required for gastrulation during embryogenesis. Component of a RCOR/GFI/KDM1A/HDAC complex that suppresses, via histone deacetylase (HDAC) recruitment, a number of genes implicated in multilineage blood cell development.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Publication Abstract from PubMedLSD1 is a histone lysine demethylase proposed as therapeutic target in cancer. Chemical modifications applied at C2, C4 and/or C7 positions of the quinazoline core of the previously reported dual LSD1/G9a inhibitor 1 led to a series of non-covalent, highly active, and selective LSD1 inhibitors (2-4 and 6-30) and to the dual LSD1/G9a inhibitor 5 that was more potent than 1 against LSD1. In THP-1 and MV4-11 leukemic cells, the most potent compounds (7, 8, and 29) showed antiproliferative effects at sub-micromolar level without significant toxicity at 1 muM in non-cancer AHH-1 cells. In MV4-11 cells, the new derivatives increased the levels of the LSD1 histone mark H3K4me2 and induced the re-expression of the CD86 gene silenced by LSD1, thereby confirming the inhibition of LSD1 at cellular level. In breast MDA-MB-231 as well as in rhabdomyosarcoma RD and RH30 cells, taken as examples of solid tumors, the same compounds displayed cell growth arrest in the same IC50 range, highlighting a crucial anticancer role for LSD1 inhibition and suggesting no added value for the simultaneous G9a inhibition in these tumor cell lines.
