Epigenetic control in thyroid cancer: mechanisms and clinical perspective.
Epigenetic regulation plays a key role in the progression, proliferation, and dedifferentiation of thyroid cancer. Epigenetic control occurs at multiple levels, including DNA methylation, RNA modification, histone modification, chromatin remodeling, and chromatin accessibility. Genetic alterations in chromatin regulators are commonly observed in thyroid cancer, which includes papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC), and follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC). These cancers exhibit distinct characteristics in terms of genetics, biology, and clinical presentation. Therefore, we review the disease biology driven by changes in chromatin pathways in thyroid cancer. Specifically, we summarize examples of epigenetic dysregulation at each level, with mechanisms involving alterations in enzymes regulating DNA methylation, RNA modification and posttranslational modifications of histones, as well as the loss or fusion of subunits involved in chromatin remodeling and chromatin accessibility. Finally, on the basis of clinical applications, we review the current and potential future approaches for thyroid cancer treatment.
期刊介绍:
Cell Death Discovery is a multidisciplinary, international, online-only, open access journal, dedicated to publishing research at the intersection of medicine with biochemistry, pharmacology, immunology, cell biology and cell death, provided it is scientifically sound. The unrestricted access to research findings in Cell Death Discovery will foster a dynamic and highly productive dialogue between basic scientists and clinicians, as well as researchers in industry with a focus on cancer, neurobiology and inflammation research. As an official journal of the Cell Death Differentiation Association (ADMC), Cell Death Discovery will build upon the success of Cell Death & Differentiation and Cell Death & Disease in publishing important peer-reviewed original research, timely reviews and editorial commentary.
Cell Death Discovery is committed to increasing the reproducibility of research. To this end, in conjunction with its sister journals Cell Death & Differentiation and Cell Death & Disease, Cell Death Discovery provides a unique forum for scientists as well as clinicians and members of the pharmaceutical and biotechnical industry. It is committed to the rapid publication of high quality original papers that relate to these subjects, together with topical, usually solicited, reviews, editorial correspondence and occasional commentaries on controversial and scientifically informative issues.
