| Abstrakt: |
Malignant lymphomas are a group of diseases with epigenomic abnormalities fundamental to pathogenesis and pathophysiology. They are characterized by a high frequency of abnormalities related to DNA methylation regulators (DNMT3A, TET2, IDH2, etc.) and histone modifiers (EZH2, HDAC, KMT2D/MLL2, CREBBP, EP300, etc.). These epigenomic abnormalities directly amplify malignant clones. They also originate from a hematopoietic stem cell-derived cell lineage triggered by epigenomic changes. These characteristics are linked to their high affinity for epigenomic therapies. Hematology has led disease epigenetics in the areas of basic research, clinical research, and drug discovery. However, epigenomic regulation is generally recognized as a complex system, and gaps exist between basic and clinical research. To provide an overview of the status and importance of epigenomic abnormalities in malignant lymphoma, this review first summarizes the concept and essential importance of the epigenome, then outlines the current status and future outlook of epigenomic abnormalities in malignant lymphomas.
