Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive form of lung cancer for which therapeutic options are very limited. A new study (Augert et al. Sci. Signal. 2019;12:eaau2922) shows that inhibition of the LSD1 demethylase can induce derepression of NOTCH receptor genes and subsequent activation of the NOTCH pathway, potently suppressing the growth of SCLC.
小细胞肺癌(SCLC)是一种侵袭性肺癌,治疗选择非常有限。一项新的研究(Augert 等人,《科学信号》,2019 年;12:eaau2922)表明,抑制 LSD1 去甲基酶可以诱导 NOTCH 受体基因的去抑制,并随后激活 NOTCH 途径,有力地抑制 SCLC 的生长。
