Lysine-specific demethylase inhibitor (1C) (LSD inhibitor (1C)) is an inhibitor of LSD1, a repressive demethylase selective for histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4).1,2LSD inhibitor (1C) inhibits LSD1 activity by 85.9% when used at a concentration of 10 μM.1It increases the level of H3K4 methylation, including H3K4me1 and H3K4me2 but not H3K9me2 levels, in HCT116 human colon carcinoma cells.2LSD inhibitor (1C) also induces re-expression of the Wnt signaling pathway proteins secreted frizzle-related protein 1 (SFRP1), SFRP4, and SFRP5, as well as the transcription factor GATA5, which are aberrantly silenced in HCT116 cells.
Mahanine has effects on the activation of the apoptotic pathway in human leukemia U937 cells, causes the mitochondrial membranes to lose their permeability, resulting in caspase-3 activation and apoptosis. Mahanine can reverse an epigenetically silenced g
