长期以来,人们一直知道癌症是一种由细胞基因蓝图改变引起的疾病。在过去的十年里,表观遗传过程在肿瘤形成中起着至少同样重要的作用,这一点已经变得很明显。表观遗传学描述了导致基因表达谱可遗传变化而不伴随DNA序列变化的机制。遗传学和表观遗传学在癌症的发病机制中相互作用错综复杂。在这篇综述中,我们描绘了当前对癌细胞表观遗传学变化的理解,并反思了表观遗传学新兴知识在癌症的诊断、预后评估、治疗和筛查中的巨大临床潜力。
Cancer has long been known to be a disease caused by alterations in the genetic blueprint of cells. In the past decade it has become evident that epigenetic processes have a function, at least equally important, in neoplasia. Epigenetics describes the mechanisms that result in heritable alterations in gene expression profiles without an accompanying change in DNA sequence. Genetics and epigenetics intricately interact in the pathogenesis of cancer. In this review, we paint a broad picture of current understanding of epigenetic changes in cancer cells and reflect on the immense clinical potential of emerging knowledge of epigenetics in the diagnosis, prognostic assessment, treatment, and screening of cancer.
