Zfp516, a brown fat (BAT)-enriched and cold-inducible transcription factor, promotes transcription of UCP1 and other BAT-enriched genes for non-shivering thermogenesis. Here, we identify lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) as a direct binding partner of Zfp516. We show that, through interaction with Zfp516, LSD1 is recruited to UCP1 and other BAT-enriched genes, such as PGC1α, to function as a coactivator by demethylating H3K9. We also show that LSD1 is induced during brown adipogenesis and that LSD1 and its demethylase activity is required for the BAT program. Furthermore, we show that LSD1 ablation in mice using Myf5-Cre alters embryonic BAT development. Moreover, BAT-specific deletion of LSD1 via the use of UCP1-Cre impairs the BAT program and BAT development, making BAT resemble WAT, reducing thermogenic activity and promoting obesity. Finally, we demonstrate an in vivo requirement of the Zfp516-LSD1 interaction for LSD1 function in BAT gene activation.

Eicosapentaenoic acid enhances intestinal stem cell-mediated colonic epithelial regeneration by activating the LSD1-WNT signaling pathway.

Introduction: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is often associated with impaired proliferation and differentiation of intestinal stem cells (ISCs). Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which is predominantly found in fish oil, has been recognized for its intestinal health benefits, although the potential mechanisms are not well understood.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the regulatory role and mechanism of EPA in colonic epithelial regeneration, specifically from the perspective of ISCs.
Inhibition of lysine-specific histone demethylase 1A suppresses adenomyosis through reduction in ectopic endometrial stromal cell proliferation, migration, and invasion.

Objective: Deep endometriosis is now referred to as adenomyosis externa, whereas adenomyosis is once known as endometriosis interna. Lysine-specific histone demethylase 1A (KDM1A, commonly LSD1) is a lysine demethylase that targets histone and non-histone proteins. This study aimed to assess how KDM1A affects the migration, invasion, and proliferation of adenomyosis-derived endometrial stromal cells (ESCs).

Zygotic genome activation occurs in two-cell (2C) embryos, and a 2C-like state is also activated in sporadic (~1%) naïve embryonic stem cells in mice. Elevated chromatin accessibility is critical for the 2C-like state to occur, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Zscan4 exhibits burst expression in 2C embryos and 2C-like cells.

Recent studies suggest that glucocorticoid receptor (GR) activation can cause enzalutamide resistance in advanced prostate cancer (PCa) via functional bypass of androgen receptor (AR) signaling. However, the specific molecular mechanism(s) driving this process remain unknown. We have previously reported that the transcription factor TBX2 is over-expressed in castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).

: pathogenic variant (PV)-associated breast cancers are most commonly seen in hereditary genetic conditions such as the autosomal-dominant Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC) syndrome, and rarely in sporadic breast cancer. Such breast cancers tend to exhibit greater aggressiveness and poorer prognoses due to the influence of pathogenic variants (PVs) on the tumour microenvironment. Additionally, while the genetic basis of PV breast cancer is well-studied, the role of epigenetic mediators in the tumourigenesis of these hereditary breast cancers is also worth exploring.
