With the in-depth investigation of various diseases, angiogenesis has gained increasing attention. Among the contributing factors to angiogenesis research, endothelial epigenetics has emerged as an influential player. Endothelial epigenetic therapy exerts its regulatory effects on endothelial cells by controlling gene expression, RNA, and histone modification within these cells, which subsequently promotes or inhibits angiogenesis. As a result, this therapeutic approach offers potential strategies for disease treatment. The purpose of this review is to outline the pertinent mechanisms of endothelial cell epigenetics, encompassing glycolysis, lactation, amino acid metabolism, non-coding RNA, DNA methylation, histone modification, and their connections to specific diseases and clinical applications. We firmly believe that endothelial cell epigenetics has the potential to become an integral component of precision medicine therapy, unveiling novel therapeutic targets and providing new directions and opportunities for disease treatment.
随着对各种疾病的深入研究,血管生成受到了越来越多的关注。在促进血管生成研究的因素中,内皮细胞表观遗传学已经成为一个重要的参与者。内皮细胞表观遗传疗法通过控制细胞内的基因表达、RNA 和组蛋白修饰来调节内皮细胞,从而促进或抑制血管生成。因此,这种治疗方法为疾病治疗提供了潜在的策略。本综述的目的是概述内皮细胞表观遗传学的相关机制,包括糖酵解、泌乳、氨基酸代谢、非编码 RNA、DNA 甲基化、组蛋白修饰以及它们与特定疾病和临床应用的联系。我们坚信,内皮细胞表观遗传学有可能成为精准医学治疗的一个组成部分,为治疗疾病提供新的治疗靶点和方向。
