Dysregulation of SEC accompanied by multiple transcription factors in cancer promotes rapid transcription of oncogenes and induce cancer development. In this review, we summarized recent progress in understanding the mechanisms of SEC in regulating normal transcription, and importantly its roles in cancer development.

The functions of PFKP are extensively studied in cancer cells. PFKP is also highly expressed in certain immune cells; nevertheless, the study of the PFKP's role in immune cells is limited. In this review, we summarize how the expression and activity of PFKP are regulated in cancer cells.

It is becoming increasingly clear that disturbances in the epigenome are hallmarks of cancer, which are targetable and represent attractive starting points for drug creation. Remarkable progress has been made in the past decades in discovering and developing epigenetic-based small molecule inhibitors. Recently, epigenetic-targeted agents in hematologic malignancies and solid tumors have been identified and these agents are either in current clinical trials or approved for treatment. However, epigenetic drug applications face many challenges, including low selectivity, poor bioavailability, instability and acquired drug resistance. New multidisciplinary approaches are being designed to overcome these limitations, e.g., applications of machine learning, drug repurposing, high throughput virtual screening technologies, to identify selective compounds with improved stability and better bioavailability. We provide an overview of the key proteins that mediate epigenetic regulation that encompass histone and DNA modifications and discuss effector proteins that affect the organization of chromatin structure and function as well as presently available inhibitors as potential drugs. Current anticancer small-molecule inhibitors targeting epigenetic modified enzymes that have been approved by therapeutic regulatory authorities across the world are highlighted. Many of these are in different stages of clinical evaluation. We also assess emerging strategies for combinatorial approaches of epigenetic drugs with immunotherapy, standard chemotherapy or other classes of agents and advances in the design of novel epigenetic therapies.</p>","PeriodicalId":50875,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Cancer Research","volume":"158 ","pages":"73-161"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9282553","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 study seeks therapeutic microbiota changes to prevent adenoma colon cancer and discusses their drawbacks. Prebiotics feed good bacteria and promote the formation of short-chain fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. To promote healthy gut bacteria and reduce adenoma risk, fiber-rich diets and particular dietary interventions are being researched. FMT (fecal microbiota transplantation) may help restore gut flora and prevent adenoma colon cancer, according to the study. FMT transfers healthy donor feces to patients to restore microbial diversity. Different gut flora, persons, and therapies make it tricky to draw conclusions. Personalizing therapeutic approaches to each person’s microbiota, host features, and genetic factors can improve treatment. Changing microorganisms may prevent adenoma colon cancer. Probiotics, prebiotics, dietary modifications, FMT, and bacteria metabolites may assist. More research is needed to determine the best ways to aid, solve difficulties, and personalize methods.
