Abstract
The switch/sucrose non-fermentable (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complexes (also referred to as BAF complexes) are composed of multiple subunits, which regulate the nucleosome translocation and chromatin accessibility. In recent years, significant advancements have been made in understanding mutated genes encoding subunits of the SWI/SNF complexes in cancer biology. Nevertheless, the role of SWI/SNF complexes in immune response and inflammatory diseases continues to attract significant attention. This review presents a summary of the significant functions of SWI/SNF complexes during the overall process from the development to the activation of innate and adaptive immune cells. In addition, the correlation between various SWI/SNF subunits and diverse inflammatory diseases is explored. Further investigations are warranted in terms of the mechanism of SWI/SNF complexes' preference for binding sites and opposite pro-/anti-inflammatory effects. In conclusion, further efforts are needed to evaluate the druggability of targeting SWI/SNF complexes in inflammatory diseases, and we hope this review will inspire the development of novel immune modulators in clinical practice.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Reviews in Allergy & Immunology is a scholarly journal that focuses on the advancement of clinical management in allergic and immunologic diseases. The journal publishes both scholarly reviews and experimental papers that address the current state of managing these diseases, placing new data into perspective. Each issue of the journal is dedicated to a specific theme of critical importance to allergists and immunologists, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter for a wide readership.
The journal is particularly helpful in explaining how novel data impacts clinical management, along with advancements such as standardized protocols for allergy skin testing and challenge procedures, as well as improved understanding of cell biology. Ultimately, the journal aims to contribute to the improvement of care and management for patients with immune-mediated diseases.
