Histone modification and glioma tumorigenesis

Although epigenetic regulation of histone modification has attracted more and more attention, the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. The present review introduces the role of acetylated H3 lysine 23 (H3K23ac) in glioma tumorigenesis, and demonstrates a new mechanism by which H3K23ac regulates gliomagenesis, which may provide novel approaches to glioma treatment.
