Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are endogenous noncoding RNAs exceeding 200 bases in length that are prevalent in malignant tumors and are closely associated with the onset and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma. The synthesis of lncRNAs exhibits similarities to that of protein-coding transcripts, which is regulated by epigenetic modifications. Recent research has highlighted the significant regulatory role of epigenetic modifications in the transcription of lncRNA genes in hepatocellular carcinoma. This review outlines the impact of epigenetic modifications, including DNA methylation, histone modification (methylation and acetylation), RNA modification, and microRNAs on the transcription of lncRNA genes in hepatocellular carcinoma and delves into the underlying mechanisms by summarizing how these lncRNA genes contribute to the development and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma.
期刊介绍:
Genes & Diseases is an international journal for molecular and translational medicine. The journal primarily focuses on publishing investigations on the molecular bases and experimental therapeutics of human diseases. Publication formats include full length research article, review article, short communication, correspondence, perspectives, commentary, views on news, and research watch.
Aims and Scopes
Genes & Diseases publishes rigorously peer-reviewed and high quality original articles and authoritative reviews that focus on the molecular bases of human diseases. Emphasis will be placed on hypothesis-driven, mechanistic studies relevant to pathogenesis and/or experimental therapeutics of human diseases. The journal has worldwide authorship, and a broad scope in basic and translational biomedical research of molecular biology, molecular genetics, and cell biology, including but not limited to cell proliferation and apoptosis, signal transduction, stem cell biology, developmental biology, gene regulation and epigenetics, cancer biology, immunity and infection, neuroscience, disease-specific animal models, gene and cell-based therapies, and regenerative medicine.
