“…Beyond these metabolic drugs though, it would be interesting to compare the efficiency of differentiation induction and proliferation reduction from treatment with the LSD1i, 6MP, and CER triple combination to other published epigenetic-based strategies. Examples of such strategies include combining LSD1 inhibitors with RAD001 (mTORC1 inhibitor), SYC-522 (DOT1L inhibitor), all-trans retinoic acid, and azacytidine, where the latter two combinations are currently being evaluated in clinical trials ( Deb et al., 2020 ) ( Feng et al., 2016 ) ( Wass et al., 2020 ) ( Buesa et al., 2019 ). As transcriptional programs are clarified in AML differentiation blockade, such as the IRX3-HOXA9 axis, and additional new pathways that cooperate with LSD1 inhibition are characterized, such studies may uncover the relative contributions, if any, of LSD1 catalytic activity and LSD1 interactions with binding partners such as GFI1 in bypassing the AML differentiation blockade in specific subtypes ( Maiques-Diaz et al., 2018 ) ( Somerville et al., 2018 ).…”
