General information

Go6976 inhibits protein kinase C alpha, which makes it unable to phosphorylate lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1). The phosphorylated form of LSD1 was reported to be responsible for NF-κB p65 stabilization controlling the pro-inflammatory cytokine gene expression (Hong et al., 2020).

The S112-phosphorylation of LSD1 protein was found to be more abundant in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of severe COVID-19 patients compared to non-severe ones. The treatment of PBMCs with Go6976 decreased the proportion of phosphorylated S112 residues within the LSD1 pool, decreased the expression of nuclear NF-κB p65, and improved the cell viability of severe COVID-19 PBMCs. NF-κB p65's methylation was found to be maintained and its stability was reduced.
