Abstract
The management and treatment of bone cancer pain (BCP) remain significant clinical challenges, imposing substantial economic burdens on patients and society. Extensive research has demonstrated that BCP induces changes in the gene expression of peripheral sensory nerves and neurons, which play crucial roles in the onset and maintenance of BCP. However, our understanding of the epigenetic mechanisms of BCP underlying the transcriptional regulation of pro-nociceptive (such as inflammatory factors and the transient receptor potential family) and anti-nociceptive (such as potassium channels and opioid receptors) genes remains limited. This article reviews the epigenetic regulatory mechanisms in BCP, analyzing the roles of histone modifications, DNA methylation, and noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) in the expression of pro-nociceptive and anti-nociceptive genes. Finally, we provide a comprehensive view of the functional mechanisms of epigenetic regulation in BCP and explore the potential of these epigenetic molecules as therapeutic targets for BCP.
期刊介绍:
Neuropharmacology publishes high quality, original research and review articles within the discipline of neuroscience, especially articles with a neuropharmacological component. However, papers within any area of neuroscience will be considered. The journal does not usually accept clinical research, although preclinical neuropharmacological studies in humans may be considered. The journal only considers submissions in which the chemical structures and compositions of experimental agents are readily available in the literature or disclosed by the authors in the submitted manuscript. Only in exceptional circumstances will natural products be considered, and then only if the preparation is well defined by scientific means. Neuropharmacology publishes articles of any length (original research and reviews).
