We report herein a novel rhodium(III) complex 1 as a new LSD1 targeting agent and epigenetic modulator. Complex 1 disrupted the interaction of LSD1-H3K4me2 in human prostate carcinoma cells and enhanced the amplification of p21, FOXA2, and BMP2 gene promoters. Complex 1 was selective for LSD1 over other histone demethylases, such as KDM2b, KDM7, and MAO activities, and also showed antiproliferative activity toward human cancer cells. To date, complex 1 is the first metal-based inhibitor of LSD1 activity.
我们在此报告一种新型铑(III)配合物1,它是一种新的靶向赖氨酸特异性去甲基化酶1(LSD1)的试剂和表观遗传调节剂。配合物1破坏了人前列腺癌细胞中LSD1与组蛋白H3第4位赖氨酸二甲基化(H3K4me2)的相互作用,并增强了p21、叉头框蛋白A2(FOXA2)和骨形态发生蛋白2(BMP2)基因启动子的扩增。配合物1对LSD1具有选择性,优于其他组蛋白去甲基化酶,如赖氨酸特异性去甲基化酶2B(KDM2b)、赖氨酸特异性去甲基化酶7(KDM7)和单胺氧化酶(MAO)的活性,并且对人癌细胞也显示出抗增殖活性。迄今为止,配合物1是第一种基于金属的LSD1活性抑制剂。
