abstract：:Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is upregulated in many cancers, especially neuroblastoma. We set out to explore whether geranylgeranoic acid (GGA) inhibits LSD1 activity by using recombinant human LSD1. GGA inhibited LSD1 activity with IC50 similar to that of the clinically used drug tranylcypromine. In human neu...
