The SWI/SNF complex was first identified in yeast and named after studies of mutants critical for the mating-type switch (SWI) and sucrose non-fermenting (SNF) pathways.The SWI/SNF complex plays a pivotal role in regulating gene expression by altering chromatin structure to promote or suppress the expression of specific genes, maintain stem cell pluripotency, and participate in various biological processes. Mutations in the SWI/SNF complex are highly prevalent in various human cancers, significantly impacting tumor suppressive or oncogenic functions and influencing tumor initiation and progression. This review focuses on the mechanisms by which ARID1A/ARID1B, PBRM1, SMARCB1, and SMARCA2/SMARCA4 contribute to cancer, the immunoregulatory roles of the SWI/SNF complex, its involvement in DNA repair pathways, synthetic lethality, and applications in precision oncology.
SWI/SNF复合物最初是在酵母中发现的,以对交配型转换(SWI)和蔗糖非发酵(SNF)途径至关重要的突变体研究而命名。SWI/SNF复合物通过改变染色质结构来促进或抑制特定基因的表达、维持干细胞多能性并参与各种生物学过程,在调节基因表达中起关键作用。SWI/SNF复合物的突变在各种人类癌症中高度普遍,显著影响肿瘤抑制或致癌功能,并影响肿瘤的发生和进展。本综述重点关注ARID1A/ARID1B、PBRM1、SMARCB1和SMARCA2/SMARCA4导致癌症的机制、SWI/SNF复合物的免疫调节作用、其在DNA修复途径中的参与、合成致死性以及在精准肿瘤学中的应用。
