Many recent studies have proved that ubiquitin-like with PHD and RING finger domains 1 (UHRF1) is an important nuclear protein associated with tumorigenesis, which plays a significant role in epigenetic regulation, especially in DNA methylation and histone methylation. For its particular domains, UHRF1 plays a critical role in biological behaviors including cell proliferation, cell cycle, and apoptosis. Overexpression of UHRF1 in various tumors is closely associated with the angiogenesis in tumors. This paper will provide a review of the regulation of UHRF1 in DNA methylation and histone methylation, and discuss the potential epigenetic role of UHRF1 in angiogenesis.
许多近期研究已证明,含 PHD 和 RING 指结构域的类泛素蛋白 1(UHRF1)是一种与肿瘤发生相关的重要核蛋白,其在表观遗传调控中发挥重要作用,尤其是在 DNA 甲基化和组蛋白甲基化方面。由于其特定结构域,UHRF1 在包括细胞增殖、细胞周期和细胞凋亡等生物学行为中起关键作用。UHRF1 在各种肿瘤中的过表达与肿瘤血管生成密切相关。本文将综述 UHRF1 在 DNA 甲基化和组蛋白甲基化中的调控作用,并探讨 UHRF1 在血管生成中潜在的表观遗传作用。
