摘要:

子宫内膜癌是女性生殖系统恶性肿瘤之一,晚期子宫内膜癌预后欠佳,如何提高中晚期子宫内膜癌患者的总生存率、改善预后仍然是临床难题之一。近年来,针对肿瘤基因改变的研究逐渐增多,表观遗传学机制已成为妇科肿瘤进展的重要因素之一。表观遗传学包含很多现象,已知的如DNA甲基化、微小RNA的表达和基因沉默、染色质重塑等,这些改变可能是肿瘤发生、发展的重要因素,有望成为肿瘤新的治疗靶点。随着未来对子宫内膜癌表观遗传学研究的深入,可能会找到新的靶向治疗位点并为子宫内膜癌的靶向治疗提供新的思路。

Abstract:

Endometrial cancer is one of the malignant tumors of female reproductive system. The prognosis of advanced endometrial cancer is poor. How to improve the overall survival rate and improve the prognosis of patients with advanced endometrial cancer is still one of the clinical problems. In recent years, the research on tumor gene changes is increasing gradually. Epigenetics is the study of genetic changes in gene expression without changing the nucleotide sequence of genes. Epigenetics includes many phenomena, such as DNA methylation, microRNA expression and gene silencing, chromatin remodeling. These changes may be important factors in the occurrence and development of tumors, and may become new therapeutic targets for tumors. With the study on epigenetics of endometrial cancer in the future, new therapeutic targets may be found. Meanwhile, those study may provide new ideas for targeted therapy of endometrial cancer.

Key words: Endometrial neoplasms, DNA methylation, MicroRNAs
