Epigenetic modifications such as histone acetylation play a central role in the transcriptional regulation of many oncogenic drivers. Accumulating evidence suggests that pharmacological modulation of certain key epigenetic reader proteins such as BRD2/3/4 may serve as an attractive strategy for treatment of many cancers, including tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer.
表观遗传修饰,如组蛋白乙酰化,在许多致癌驱动因子的转录调控中起着核心作用。越来越多的证据表明,对某些关键表观遗传读取蛋白(如BRD2/3/4)进行药理学调节,可能是治疗包括抗他莫昔芬乳腺癌在内的多种癌症的一种有吸引力的策略。
