Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most predominant malignancies with
high fatality rate. This deadly cancer is rising at an alarming rate because it
is quite resistant to radio- and chemotherapy. Different epigenetic mechanisms
such as histone modifications, DNA methylation, chromatin remodeling, and
expression of noncoding RNAs drive the cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis,
initiation, progression, and development of HCC. These epigenetic alterations
because of potential reversibility open way towards the development of biomarkers
and therapeutics. The contribution of these epigenetic changes to HCC development
has not been thoroughly explored yet. Further research on HCC epigenetics is
necessary to better understand novel molecular-targeted HCC treatment and
prevention. This review highlights latest research progress and current updates
regarding epigenetics of HCC, biomarker discovery, and future preventive and
therapeutic strategies to combat the increasing risk of HCC.
