Epigenetic induction of the Ink4a/Arf locus prevents Schwann cell overproliferation during nerve regeneration and after tumorigenic challenge.

The number of Schwann cells is fitted to axonal length in peripheral nerves. This relationship is lost when tumorigenic stimuli induce uncontrolled Schwann cell proliferation, generating tumours such us neurofibromas and schwannomas. Schwann cells also re-enter the cell cycle following nerve injury during the process of Wallerian degeneration. In both cases proliferation is finally arrested. We show that in neurofibroma, the induction of Jmjd3 (jumonji domain containing 3, histone lysine demethylase) removes trimethyl groups on lysine-27 of histone-H3 and epigenetically activates the Ink4a/Arf

Histone modifications across cancers: mechanisms, therapy and clinical translation.

Cancer continues to be a major cause of death across the globe, and epigenetic dysregulation, including histone modifications, has been recognized as a major hallmark of cancer development, heterogeneity, and drug resistance. This review seeks to offer an overview of histone modifications in cancer, including the more studied histone modifications such as acetylation and methylation, as well as the less explored histone modifications such as phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and glycosylation. It also examines the role of histone modifications in the dysregulation of the three categories of enz

Epigenetic therapy: use of agents targeting deacetylation and methylation in cancer management.

The emergence of epigenetic mechanisms as key regulators of gene expression has led to dramatic advances in understanding cancer biology. Driven by complex layers that include aberrant DNA methylation and histone modification, epigenetic aberrations have emerged as critical processes that disrupt cellular machinery and homeostasis. Recent discoveries have already translated into successful clinical trials and improved patient care, with several agents approved for hematologic disease and others undergoing study. As the field matures, substantial challenges persist that will require resolution.

Clinical epigenetics settings for cancer and cardiovascular diseases: real-life applications of network medicine at the bedside.

Despite impressive efforts invested in epigenetic research in the last 50 years, clinical applications are still lacking. Only a few university hospital centers currently use epigenetic biomarkers at the bedside. Moreover, the overall concept of precision medicine is not widely recognized in routine medical practice and the reductionist approach remains predominant in treating patients affected by major diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. By its' very nature, epigenetics is integrative of genetic networks. The study of epigenetic biomarkers has led to the identification of num

Tumor heterogeneity as a driver of drug resistance and its implications for personalized therapy.

Tumors are highly dynamic diseases characterized by significant heterogeneity. They consist of multiple cellular populations with distinct properties that respond differently to therapeutic pressure. This heterogeneity may arise from spatial variation across tumor regions (spatial heterogeneity) as well as from temporal changes during tumor evolution and treatment (temporal heterogeneity). As a consequence, drug-resistant subclones often emerge under therapy and contribute to treatment failure. Advances in single-cell and spatial multi-omics technologies enable precise quantification of tumor

DNA Methylation Cancer Biomarkers: Translation to the Clinic.

Carcinogenesis is accompanied by widespread DNA methylation changes within the cell. These changes are characterized by a globally hypomethylated genome with focal hypermethylation of numerous 5'-cytosine-phosphate-guanine-3' (CpG) islands, often spanning gene promoters and first exons. Many of these epigenetic changes occur early in tumorigenesis and are highly pervasive across a tumor type. This allows DNA methylation cancer biomarkers to be suitable for early detection and also to have utility across a range of areas relevant to cancer detection and treatment. Such tests are also simple in

Machine Learning: A New Prospect in Multi-Omics Data Analysis of Cancer.

Cancer is defined as a large group of diseases that is associated with abnormal cell growth, uncontrollable cell division, and may tend to impinge on other tissues of the body by different mechanisms through metastasis. What makes cancer so important is that the cancer incidence rate is growing worldwide which can have major health, economic, and even social impacts on both patients and the governments. Thereby, the early cancer prognosis, diagnosis, and treatment can play a crucial role at the front line of combating cancer. The onset and progression of cancer can occur under the influence of

Epigenetic drugs in cancer therapy: mechanisms, immune modulation, and therapeutic applications.

Epigenetic regulation is a fundamental mechanism controlling gene expression and cellular function, primarily mediated through reversible modifications such as DNA methylation, histone acetylation, and chromatin remodeling. Dysregulation of critical epigenetic enzymes, including histone deacetylases (HDACs), DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), and bromodomain and extraterminal domain (BET) proteins, has been closely associated with tumor initiation, progression, metastasis, immune evasion, and resistance to conventional therapies. Targeting these epigenetic regulators with small-molecule inhibitor

Epigenetic Mechanism and Therapeutic Implications of Atrial Fibrillation.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia attacking 1. 5-2.0% of general population worldwide. It has a significant impact on morbidity and mortality globally and its prevalence increases exponentially with age. Therapies like catheter ablation or conventional antiarrhythmic drugs have not provided effective solution to the recurrence for AF over the past decades. Over 100 genetic loci have been discovered to be associated with AF by Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) but none has led to a therapy. Recently potential involvement of epigenetics (DNA methylation, histone modific

Epigenetic mechanisms in cardiovascular complications of diabetes: towards future therapies.

The pathophysiological mechanisms of cardiovascular disease and microvascular complications in diabetes have been extensively studied, but effective methods of prevention and treatment are still lacking. In recent years, DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs have arisen as possible mechanisms involved in the development, maintenance, and progression of micro- and macro-vascular complications of diabetes. Epigenetic changes have the characteristic of being heritable or deletable. For this reason, they are now being studied as a therapeutic target for the treatment of diabe

Targeting Histone Epigenetic Modifications and DNA Damage Responses in Synthetic Lethality Strategies in Cancer?

Synthetic lethality strategies are likely to be integrated in effective and specific cancer treatments. These strategies combine different specific targets, either in similar or cooperating pathways. Chromatin remodeling underlies, directly or indirectly, all processes of tumor biology. In this context, the combined targeting of proteins associated with different aspects of chromatin remodeling can be exploited to find new alternative targets or to improve treatment for specific individual tumors or patients. There are two major types of proteins, epigenetic modifiers of histones and nuclear o

Application of single-cell and spatial omics in deciphering cellular hallmarks of cancer drug response and resistance.

Drug resistance poses a significant challenge in cancer therapy, contributing to rapid recurrence, disease progression, and high patient mortality. Despite its critical impact, few reliable predictors for cancer drug response or failure have been established for clinical application. Tumor heterogeneity and the tumor microenvironment (TME) are pivotal factors influencing cancer drug efficacy and resistance. Tumor heterogeneity leads to variable therapeutic responses among patients, while dynamic interactions between cancer cells and the TME enhance tumor survival and proliferation, underscorin
