Abstract

In this study, Kaiso was discovered to be a unique member of the POZ-zinc fingers family of transcription factors, which has been implicated in the genesis and progression of cancer. Although there is still some debate, Kaiso is believed to be implicated in the development of human cancer. It should be noted that there is minimal evidence available on the therapeutic relevance of nuclear Kaiso in lung cancer in humans. Histone or DNA modifications that control gene activity outside of the underlying sequence are examples of epigenetic alternations. Epigenetic alterations are heritable but reversible. Human illness, such as lung cancer, is often related to epigenetic dysregulation. In preclinical and clinical studies, epigenetic-targeted therapy has shown significant therapeutic promise for solid tumours and has been used in the treatment of haematological malignancies using different medicines targeting epigenetic regulators. It is important to note that the abnormal activities of Kaiso enzymes in tumour growth are summarised below and the development of inhibitors or medicines targeting epigenetic enzyme regulation is highlighted.

Highlights

  • Lung cancer is both the most common diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in China

  • Matrilysin, cyclin D1, and c-myc have all been identified as potential Kaiso targets, and the zinc finger domain seems to be involved in their regulation

  • Since Kaiso’s subcellular localization seems to be changing over time rather than being static, it is possible the microenvironment is playing a role. ere needs to be further study to determine whether Kaiso is expressed in lung cancer and if its subcellular location is associated with the grade or prognosis of the tumour

Summary

Introduction

Ere needs to be further study to determine whether Kaiso is expressed in lung cancer and if its subcellular location is associated with the grade or prognosis of the tumour. In a multivariate analysis of the relationship between Kaiso’s subcellular distribution and other breast cancer indicators, the researchers discovered new functional and predictive links between Kaiso and the autophagy-related proteins LC3A/B, which have previously been linked to tumour immune microenvironment characteristics, survival, and race in previous research. According to these findings, Znf131 may have a function in the activity of the Kaiso-mediated enzymes [10].
