Implication

Review highlights histone methylation as a key driver of malignant transformation in MASLD, implying potential therapeutic targets for early intervention.

Key Points

This review aims to explore the mechanisms by which histone methylation influences the transition from MASLD/MASH to HCC.
Summarizes molecular mechanisms of histone methylation in relation to HCC.
Discusses the role of histone 'writers', 'erasers', and 'readers' in epigenetic regulation.
Highlights potential predictive biomarkers and therapeutic targets for HCC.
Histone methylation modifications are closely linked to HCC development.
They may drive the transformation from MASLD/MASH to early HCC, indicating a role in disease progression.
Abnormal histone methylation presents promising avenues for early intervention strategies.
