Epigenetic regulation of nuclear receptors: Implications for endocrine-related diseases and therapeutic strategies

The expression and function of the receptor are controlled by epigenetic changes, such as DNA methylation, histone modification, and noncoding RNAs. These modifications play a pivotal role in receptor activity and can lead to or exacerbate endocrine-related diseases. This review examines the epigene...

description The expression and function of the receptor are controlled by epigenetic changes, such as DNA methylation, histone modification, and noncoding RNAs. These modifications play a pivotal role in receptor activity and can lead to or exacerbate endocrine-related diseases. This review examines the epigenetic alterations of nuclear receptors and their significant impact on conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, and endocrine-related tumors. It highlights current therapies targeting these epigenetic mechanisms, including gene editing, epigenetic drugs, and various other therapeutic approaches. This review offers fresh insight into the mechanisms of endocrine-associated disorders, highlighting the latest progress in the development of novel epigenetic therapies that can be used to address receptor–endocrine interactions.
