Epigenetic regulation of diacylglycerol kinase alpha promotes radiation-induced fibrosis

Radiotherapy can induce fibrosis in cancer patients, limiting its use in clinical settings. Here, the authors identify a differentially methylated enhancer of the lipid kinase DGKA in fibroblasts from breast cancer patients developing fibrosis after radiotherapy and they show that DGKA inhibition af...

Sumario:Radiotherapy can induce fibrosis in cancer patients, limiting its use in clinical settings. Here, the authors identify a differentially methylated enhancer of the lipid kinase DGKA in fibroblasts from breast cancer patients developing fibrosis after radiotherapy and they show that DGKA inhibition affects lipid homeostasis and reduces pro-fibrotic fibroblast activation.
