Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

The data we generated in this funding period allowed us proceed major steps forward in understanding the physiology and pathology of LSD1. The powerful tool of combining detailed in vitro studies with genome-wide analyses and various animal models allowed us to decipher novel aspects of LSD1 biology. Clearly, we are only at the beginning and much more knowledge needs to be learned. Consequently, this project put us in a position to initiate additional genetically modified LSD1 mouse models. Consequently, to further evaluate tissue-restricted functions we deleted Lsd1 by crossing the conditional Lsd1 allele to well described Cre deleter strains, which robustly and specifically facilitate Cre-mediated deletion of LSD1 in testis, ovary, skin, muscle, liver, white fat, brown fat, and brain. The analysis of the stunning phenotypes of these tissue-specific KO animals is ongoing and will further pioneer our knowledge on the physiological and pathological function of LSD1.
