Several mechanisms, including obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, inflammation, apoptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and reactive oxygen species, have been proposed to underlie the progression of MAFLD. Transcription factors are proteins that specifically bind to DNA sequences to regulate the transcription of target genes. Numerous transcription factors regulate MAFLD by modulating the transcription of genes involved in steatosis, inflammation, apoptosis, and fibrosis. Here, we review the pathological factors associated with MAFLD, with a particular emphasis on the transcription factors that contribute to the progression of MAFLD and their therapeutic implications.","PeriodicalId":12689,"journal":{"name":"Genes & Diseases","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141588493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the search for new therapeutic targets remains a key issue in current research. Mitochondrial glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 2 (GOT2) is an important component of the malate-aspartate shuttle system, which plays an important role in the maintenance of cellular redox balance and amino acid metabolism, and has the potential to become a promising target for anti-cancer therapy. In this paper, we will elaborate on the metabolic and immune effects of GOT2 in pancreatic cancer based on existing studies, with a view to opening up new avenues for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.","PeriodicalId":12689,"journal":{"name":"Genes & Diseases","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141585126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This process is an important protein post-translational modification that affects molecular structure and function of various proteins, including histones. In recent years, protein citrullination has attracted widespread attention for its influence on gene transcription. Studies on the impact of protein citrullination modification on chromatin structure remodeling and the establishment of gene regulatory networks have made rapid progress. In this review, we briefly summarize the physiological functions of protein citrullination modification. Specifically, we comprehensively outline the latest progress in the study of the role of protein citrullination modification in gene transcription regulation, focusing on the interaction of protein citrullination with other post-translational modifications.","PeriodicalId":12689,"journal":{"name":"Genes & Diseases","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141547897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
