Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is a member of the flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-dependent monoamine oxidase family and is highly expressed in various tumor cells. LSD1 plays a crucial role in tumor progression by participating in multiple processes such as tumor cell proliferation, invasion, differentiation, and immune cell killing. Studies have shown that LSD1 exerts its oncogenic functions not only by demethylating histone and non-histone substrates but also through demethylase activity-independent protein-protein interactions, thereby diversifying its mechanisms of action. With the increasing depth of research into the tumor-promoting mechanisms of LSD1, targeting LSD1 for cancer therapy has become a major focus in the field. This review summarizes the oncogenic functions of LSD1 through its interactions with different proteins and provides an overview of LSD1 inhibitors that have entered clinical stages. A comprehensive understanding of the roles of LSD1 in tumors will offer theoretical support for developing more effective and specific LSD1 inhibitors, thereby guiding future directions for enhanced anti-tumor therapies targeting LSD1.
