Abstract EN
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide.
Tumorigenesis involves a multistep process resulting from the interactions of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors.
Genome-wide association studies and sequencing studies have identified many epigenetic alterations associated with the development of lung cancer.
Epigenetic mechanisms, mainly including DNA methylation, histone modification, and noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), are heritable and reversible modifications that are involved in some important biological processes and affect cancer hallmarks.
We summarize the major epigenetic modifications in lung cancer, focusing on DNA methylation and ncRNAs, their roles in tumorigenesis, and their effects on key signaling pathways.
In addition, we describe the clinical application of epigenetic biomarkers in the early diagnosis, prognosis prediction, and oncotherapy of lung cancer.
Understanding the epigenetic regulation mechanism of lung cancer can provide a new explanation for tumorigenesis and a new target for the precise treatment of lung cancer.
