Lysine specific demethylase 1(LSD1)plays an important role in the epigenetic control of gene expression and it has been found overexpressed in various tumor tissues.
2-Methoxyestradiol(2ME2),an endogenous metabolite of estradiol,has been discovered to possess antiangiogenic and antimitotic properties with lower toxicity.
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)is a crucial process in embryonic development and carcinoma progression.Downregulating epithelial markers and disassembling cell-cell adhesions in this transition
Angiogenesis has been demonstrated to be a basic prerequisite for sustainable growth and proliferation of tumor[1],the literature on angiogenesis research is accumulating in logarithmic fashion.
LSD1(Histone lysine specific demethylase 1)was the first identified histone demethylase,which can demethylate mono-,di-methylation of H3K4 and H3K9 as well as other non-histone substrates.
