Epigenetic and post-translational modifications in ferroptosis regulation and hepatocellular carcinoma: New frontiers in therapeutic targeting
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the predominant kind of liver cancer, continues to be a significant contributor to cancer-related deaths globally, influenced by intricate molecular processes and strong resistance to existing chemotherapy. Iron-dependent lipid peroxidation induces ferroptosis, a controlled form of cell death that plays a crucial role in inhibiting tumor growth and treatment resistance in HCC. Recent research has shown that epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, regulation by non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), and post-translational modification (PTM) like ubiquitination, phosphorylation, acetylation, and methylation, play a crucial role in fine-tuning ferroptosis. These alterations alter the structure of chromatin, gene expression, and protein function, thereby affecting cancer cells' fate. This review emphasizes the complex functions of epigenetic and post-translational alterations in controlling ferroptosis, providing valuable insights into their potential as therapeutic targets in HCC. The unraveling of these pathways offers a significant opportunity for novel therapies targeted at surmounting drug resistance and enhancing patient outcomes in liver cancer.
期刊介绍:
Pathology, Research and Practice provides accessible coverage of the most recent developments across the entire field of pathology: Reviews focus on recent progress in pathology, while Comments look at interesting current problems and at hypotheses for future developments in pathology. Original Papers present novel findings on all aspects of general, anatomic and molecular pathology. Rapid Communications inform readers on preliminary findings that may be relevant for further studies and need to be communicated quickly. Teaching Cases look at new aspects or special diagnostic problems of diseases and at case reports relevant for the pathologist''s practice.
