Cover Story: Abnormal epigenetic regulation is strongly linked to the initiation and progression of breast cancer. The epigenetic changes depend on specific enzymes, including DNA methyltransferases and histone deacetylases. In addition, epigenetic mechanisms are regulated via various signaling pathways, such as 17-beta estradiol (E2) and Wnt signaling, which are promising targets for epigenetic-based therapy in breast cancer patients. However, there are several challenges related to the main strategies of epidrugs with respect to cytotoxicity, resistance, and efficacy. Therefore, in recent epigenetic-targeted therapies, the use of epidrugs in combination with other anti-cancer drugs for tumor remission, reduced resistance to chemotherapy, and fewer side effects has emerged as a promising cancer treatment. View this paper
