Aberrant LSD1 overexpression in OSCC was significantly associated with tumor aggressiveness and shorter overall survival.
Increased abundance of LSD1 was detected along with disease progression in DMBA- or 4NQO-induced OSCC animal models.
Genetic or pharmacological depletion of LSD1 in OSCC cells resulted in potent anti-cancer effects both in vitro and in vivo.
Intraperitoneal delivery of LSD1 chemical inhibitors resulted in impaired OSCC xenograft overgrowth.
