Abstract
Prospective prediction from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) showed a likely incidence of 1 in 23 women diagnosed with gynaecological malignancy, where the incidence of relapse with a drug-resistant clone poses a significant challenge in dealing with it even after initial treatment. Glucose metabolism has been exploited as a therapeutic target under anti-metabolomic study, but the non-specificity narrowed its applicability in cancer. Novel updates over epigenetics as a target in gynaecological cancer offer a rational idea of using this in the metabolic rewiring in mutated glycolytic flux-induced drug resistance. This review focuses on the application of epigenetic intervention at a diagnostic and therapeutic level to shift the current treatment paradigm of gynaecological cancers from reactive medicine to predictive, preventive, and personalised medicine. It presents the likely epigenetic targets that can be exploited potentially to prevent the therapeutic failure associated with glucose metabolism-induced chemotherapeutic drug resistance.
期刊介绍:
Life Sciences is an international journal publishing articles that emphasize the molecular, cellular, and functional basis of therapy. The journal emphasizes the understanding of mechanism that is relevant to all aspects of human disease and translation to patients. All articles are rigorously reviewed.
The Journal favors publication of full-length papers where modern scientific technologies are used to explain molecular, cellular and physiological mechanisms. Articles that merely report observations are rarely accepted. Recommendations from the Declaration of Helsinki or NIH guidelines for care and use of laboratory animals must be adhered to. Articles should be written at a level accessible to readers who are non-specialists in the topic of the article themselves, but who are interested in the research. The Journal welcomes reviews on topics of wide interest to investigators in the life sciences. We particularly encourage submission of brief, focused reviews containing high-quality artwork and require the use of mechanistic summary diagrams.
