Tumor Suppressor Gene Upregulation (TSG Upregulation)
- Target
- TSG Upregulation
- Molecular classification
- Gene Therapy Target, Epigenetic Target, Transcription Factor Regulation, Other
01
Overview
Tumor suppressor gene upregulation refers to the process of increasing the expression or activity of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) in cancer cells. TSGs normally function to inhibit cell proliferation, promote apoptosis, and maintain genomic stability. Upregulating TSGs aims to restore these functions, thereby suppressing tumor growth and progression. Strategies include gene therapy, epigenetic modification, and small molecule activation.
