Abstract
The invention relates to antibodies for use for modulating the activity of the lysine-specific demethylase (LSD1) in a mammal and to pharmaceutical and diagnostical compositions comprising such antibodies. The invention also relates to a method for identifying and/or scoring prostate carcinomas. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of at least one siRNA ('short interfering RNA') and/or at least one anti-LSD1 antibody for modulating the activity of the lysine-specific demethylase (LSD1) in a mammal or for the manufacture of a medicament for modulating the activity of the lysine-specific demethylase (LSD1) in a mammal. The invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition for controlling the androgen receptor-dependent gene expression, comprising an effective dose of at least one siRNA and/or at least one anti-LSD1 antibody suitable for modulating the activity of the lysine-specific demethylase (LSD1) in a mammal. The invention also relates to a method for controlling the androgen receptor-dependent gene expression in a mammal, said process comprising the step of administering to said mammal, on a suitable route, an effective dose of a pharmaceutical composition modulating an activity of the lysine-specific demethylase (LSD1) in a mammal.
