摘要

Since its discovery as a histone methyltransferase, SETD7 has been implicated in many signaling pathways and carcinogenesis. SETD7 catalyzes the methylation of histone H3 and non-histone proteins, regulating their translation, stability and activity. SETD7 is frequently abnormally expressed and has a significant influence on cell proliferation, invasion, autophagy and immune response. As cancer is a complex disease, an outstanding concept in cancer biology is the “hallmarks of cancer”. In this review, we focus on the involvement of SETD7 in the hallmarks of cancer, describing its functions and underlying mechanisms in detail. Additionally, we discuss non-coding RNAs and chemical inhibitors targeting SETD7, highlighting the potential and importance of SETD7 in cancer therapy.
