Molecular signatures of aggressive pediatric liver cancer

1. Conversion of tumor suppressor proteins (TSPs) by posttranslational modifications into oncogenes. 2. Activation of specific chromosomal regions, i.e., Aggressive Liver Cancer Domains (ALCDs) within many oncogenes, resulting in increased expression of oncogenes. 3. Potential epigenetic mechanisms...

Sumario:1. Conversion of tumor suppressor proteins (TSPs) by posttranslational modifications into oncogenes. 2. Activation of specific chromosomal regions, i.e., Aggressive Liver Cancer Domains (ALCDs) within many oncogenes, resulting in increased expression of oncogenes. 3. Potential epigenetic mechanisms that open chromatin structure of oncogenes via ALCDs. This commentary summarizes our key findings and discusses development of potential ALCD-based therapeutic approaches.
