Abstract
Epigenetic alterations are associated with various pulmonary diseases. In recent years, the concept of epigenetic inheritance influenced by spatial variations has garnered increasing attention. Alterations in three-dimensional (3D) chromatin architecture have been demonstrated to play a crucial role in regulating gene expression and influencing the pathogenesis and progression of lung-related diseases. Techniques such as high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) have emerged as powerful tools for detecting spatial chromatin conformational changes. In this review, we summarize key targets identified through Hi-C and related methodologies in the context of pulmonary diseases and explore their potential implications for epigenetic therapies.
期刊介绍：
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology is a broad-scope, interdisciplinary open-access journal, focusing on the fundamental processes of life, led by Prof Amanda Fisher and supported by a geographically diverse, high-quality editorial board.
The journal welcomes submissions on a wide spectrum of cell and developmental biology, covering intracellular and extracellular dynamics, with sections focusing on signaling, adhesion, migration, cell death and survival and membrane trafficking. Additionally, the journal offers sections dedicated to the cutting edge of fundamental and translational research in molecular medicine and stem cell biology.
With a collaborative, rigorous and transparent peer-review, the journal produces the highest scientific quality in both fundamental and applied research, and advanced article level metrics measure the real-time impact and influence of each publication.
