摘要
甲状腺癌(TC)是最常见的内分泌恶性肿瘤之一,在全球的发病率呈上升趋势。表观遗传学改变是指在不改变基本 DNA 序列的情况下改变基因表达,近年来已引起人们的极大关注。越来越多的证据强调了表观遗传修饰(包括 DNA 甲基化、RNA 甲基化和组蛋白甲基化)在 TC 发病机制中的关键作用。本综述全面概述了这些可逆的、受环境影响的表观遗传修饰,重点介绍了它们在 TC 中的分子机制和功能作用。此外,还探讨了这些表观遗传修饰的临床意义、与研究这些表观遗传修饰相关的挑战以及潜在的未来研究方向。
The role of epigenetic methylations in thyroid Cancer.
Thyroid cancer (TC) represents one of the most prevalent endocrine malignancies, with a rising incidence worldwide. Epigenetic alterations, which modify gene expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence, have garnered significant attention in recent years. Increasing evidence underscores the pivotal role of epigenetic modifications, including DNA methylation, RNA methylation, and histone methylation, in the pathogenesis of TC. This review provides a comprehensive overview of these reversible and environmentally influenced epigenetic modifications, highlighting their molecular mechanisms and functional roles in TC. Additionally, the clinical implications, challenges associated with studying these epigenetic modifications, and potential future research directions are explored.
期刊介绍:
World Journal of Surgical Oncology publishes articles related to surgical oncology and its allied subjects, such as epidemiology, cancer research, biomarkers, prevention, pathology, radiology, cancer treatment, clinical trials, multimodality treatment and molecular biology. Emphasis is placed on original research articles. The journal also publishes significant clinical case reports, as well as balanced and timely reviews on selected topics.
Oncology is a multidisciplinary super-speciality of which surgical oncology forms an integral component, especially with solid tumors. Surgical oncologists around the world are involved in research extending from detecting the mechanisms underlying the causation of cancer, to its treatment and prevention. The role of a surgical oncologist extends across the whole continuum of care. With continued developments in diagnosis and treatment, the role of a surgical oncologist is ever-changing. Hence, World Journal of Surgical Oncology aims to keep readers abreast with latest developments that will ultimately influence the work of surgical oncologists.
