Fusion genes in cancers: Biogenesis, functions, and therapeutic implications
The processes of tumorigenesis and development are intricate, involving numerous genes and molecular pathways. Fusion genes, direct products of abnormal chromosomal rearrangements, are key factors in the formation of many types of tumors. In recent years, the advent of sequencing technology and bioinformatics has led to the discovery of more fusion genes associated with specific types of tumors. The objective of this review is to undertake a comprehensive examination of the discovery and functional mechanisms of fusion genes present in a range of cancers. This will include an analysis of their impact on the biological properties of tumor cells. This review will examine the most prevalent types of fusion genes observed in representative tumor types, including hematological tumors, lung cancer, soft tissue sarcomas, thyroid cancer, and prostate cancer. We provide an overview of the roles and clinical significance of fusion genes, as well as a summarization of the therapeutic strategies for fusion genes, including the application of targeted drugs and related studies. This review presents a comprehensive analysis of the function of fusion genes in the development and treatment of tumors, providing guidance and insights for future research and clinical practice.
期刊介绍:
Genes & Diseases is an international journal for molecular and translational medicine. The journal primarily focuses on publishing investigations on the molecular bases and experimental therapeutics of human diseases. Publication formats include full length research article, review article, short communication, correspondence, perspectives, commentary, views on news, and research watch.
Aims and Scopes
Genes & Diseases publishes rigorously peer-reviewed and high quality original articles and authoritative reviews that focus on the molecular bases of human diseases. Emphasis will be placed on hypothesis-driven, mechanistic studies relevant to pathogenesis and/or experimental therapeutics of human diseases. The journal has worldwide authorship, and a broad scope in basic and translational biomedical research of molecular biology, molecular genetics, and cell biology, including but not limited to cell proliferation and apoptosis, signal transduction, stem cell biology, developmental biology, gene regulation and epigenetics, cancer biology, immunity and infection, neuroscience, disease-specific animal models, gene and cell-based therapies, and regenerative medicine.
