The aberrant regulation of the Notch signaling pathway, which is a fundamental developmental pathway, has been implicated in a wide range of human cancers. The Notch pathway can be activated by both canonical and noncanonical Notch ligands, and its role can switch between acting as an oncogene or a tumor suppressor depending on the context. Epigenetic modifications have the potential to modulate Notch and its ligands, thereby influencing Notch signal transduction. Consequently, the utilization of epigenetic regulatory mechanisms may present novel therapeutic opportunities for both single and combined therapeutics targeted at the Notch signaling pathway. This review offers insights into the mechanisms governing the regulation of Notch signaling and explores their therapeutic potential.
Notch信号通路作为一种基本的发育途径,其异常调节与多种人类癌症有关。Notch通路可被经典和非经典Notch配体激活,其作用可根据具体情况在作为癌基因或肿瘤抑制因子之间转换。表观遗传修饰有可能调节Notch及其配体,从而影响Notch信号转导。因此,利用表观遗传调控机制可能为针对Notch信号通路的单一疗法和联合疗法带来新的治疗机会。本综述深入探讨了Notch信号调控的机制,并探索了其治疗潜力。
