Targeting of epigenetic regulators in neuroblastoma.
Experimental & Molecular Medicine 2018 April 28
Approximately 15,000 new cases of pediatric cancer are diagnosed yearly in Europe, with 8-10% corresponding to neuroblastoma, a rare disease with an incidence of 8-9 cases per million children <15 years of age. Although the survival rate for low-risk and intermediate-risk patients is excellent, half of children with high-risk, refractory, or relapsed tumors will be cured, and two-thirds of the other half will suffer major side effects and life-long disabilities. Epigenetic therapies aimed at reversing the oncogenic alterations in chromatin structure and function are an emerging alternative against aggressive tumors that are or will become resistant to conventional treatments. This approach proposes targeting epigenetic regulators, which are proteins that are involved in the creation, detection, and interpretation of epigenetic signals, such as methylation or histone post-translational modifications. In this review, we focused on the most promising epigenetic regulators for targeting and current drugs that have already reached clinical trials.
