Inhibition of lysine-specific demethylase 1(LSD1)prevented tumor growth and metastasis by downregulating PD-L1 expression in lung adenocarcinoma

Lysine-specific demethylase 1(LSD1),as a histone lysine demethylase,demethylates monomethyl and dimethyl of histone H3 on lysine 4(H3K4)and lysine 9(H3K9).Studies have reported that high LSD1 expression promotes cell proliferation,migration,and invasion by regulating chromatin morphology and gene expression,and is closely related to the development of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).1 However,the underlying mechanism of LSD1 on cell proliferation and migration remains unclear.
