Therapeutic Strategies for Angiogenesis Based on Endothelial Cell Epigenetics

With the in-depth investigation of various diseases, angiogenesis has gained increasing attention. Among the contributing factors to angiogenesis research, endothelial epigenetics has emerged as an influential player. Endothelial epigenetic therapy exerts its regulatory effects on endothelial cells by controlling gene expression, RNA, and histone modification within these cells, which subsequently promotes or inhibits angiogenesis. As a result, this therapeutic approach offers potential strategies for disease treatment. The purpose of this review is to outline the pertinent mechanisms of endothelial cell epigenetics, encompassing glycolysis, lactation, amino acid metabolism, non-coding RNA, DNA methylation, histone modification, and their connections to specific diseases and clinical applications. We firmly believe that endothelial cell epigenetics has the potential to become an integral component of precision medicine therapy, unveiling novel therapeutic targets and providing new directions and opportunities for disease treatment.
