Epigenetic regulation in vitiligo: mechanisms, challenges, and therapeutic opportunities
Vitiligo, characterized by epidermal melanocytes loss causing skin depigmentation, affects millions globally. This review explores its pathogenesis, emphasizing the role of epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation, histone modification, noncoding RNAs, chromatin remodeling, and 3D genome regulation. These mechanisms interact with genetic and environmental factors, contributing to melanocyte destruction. DNA methylation dysregulation, particularly in genes such as TYR and POMC, disrupts melanocyte homeostasis. Histone modification imbalances, including excessive histone deacetylase (HDAC) activation, promote melanocyte apoptosis. Noncoding RNAs, such as miR-211 and lncRNAs, regulate gene expression and immune responses. Chromatin remodeling and 3D genome interactions further influence gene expression, impacting melanogenesis. Despite advancements, challenges remain, including sample heterogeneity, limited model systems, and data integration complexities. Future directions include multiomics studies, organoid models, and personalized treatments. Epigenetic drugs like HDAC inhibitors and CRISPR-dCas9 show promise, with combination therapies offering synergistic effects. This review underscores the potential of epigenetics in advancing vitiligo research and clinical applications.
期刊介绍:
Current Opinion in Immunology aims to stimulate scientifically grounded, interdisciplinary, multi-scale debate and exchange of ideas. It contains polished, concise and timely reviews and opinions, with particular emphasis on those articles published in the past two years. In addition to describing recent trends, the authors are encouraged to give their subjective opinion of the topics discussed.
In Current Opinion in Immunology we help the reader by providing in a systematic manner: 1. The views of experts on current advances in their field in a clear and readable form. 2. Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.
Current Opinion in Immunology will serve as an invaluable source of information for researchers, lecturers, teachers, professionals, policy makers and students.
Current Opinion in Immunology builds on Elsevier''s reputation for excellence in scientific publishing and long-standing commitment to communicating reproducible biomedical research targeted at improving human health. It is a companion to the new Gold Open Access journal Current Research in Immunology and is part of the Current Opinion and Research(CO+RE) suite of journals. All CO+RE journals leverage the Current Opinion legacy-of editorial excellence, high-impact, and global reach-to ensure they are a widely read resource that is integral to scientists'' workflow.
