Abstract

Indeed, tumors are a significant health concern worldwide, and understanding the underlying mechanisms of tumor development is crucial for effective prevention and treatment. Epigenetics, which refers to changes in gene expression that are not caused by alterations in the DNA sequence itself, plays a critical role in the entire process of tumor development. It goes without saying that the effect of methylation on tumors is a significant aspect of epigenetics. Among the methylation modifications, DNA methylation is an important part, which plays a regulatory role in tumor-related genes. Ten-eleven translocation 2 (TET2) is a highly influential protein involved in the modification of DNA methylation. Its primary role is associated with the suppression of tumor development, making it a significant player in cancer research. However, TET2 is frequently mentioned in hematological diseases, its role in solid tumors has received little attention. Studying the changes of TET2 in solid tumors and the regulatory mechanism will facilitate its investigation as a clinical target for targeted therapy and may also provide directions for clinical treatment of malignant tumors.
