Vitcylation of Lysine: The Novel Mechanism of Vitamin C in Tumor Treatment
Announcing a new article publication for BIO Integration journal. Vitamin C, an essential nutrient for human health, has critical roles in numerous biological processes. Vitamin C’s potential in disease prevention and treatment is a focus of ongoing research.
Recent clinical studies have highlighted its promising effects in combating various tumor diseases, thus spurring further exploration of its anti-tumor mechanisms. Historically, the known anti-tumor mechanisms of Vitamin C have included redox regulation and epigenetic modifications.
Recent findings, particularly lysine vitcylation, substantially change the understanding of Vitamin C’s mechanistic landscape. This Commentary comprehensively analyzes a recent study elucidating the key mechanisms underlying vitC’s anti-tumor efficacy. Furthermore, it thoroughly examines the newly proposed mechanism and discusses potential implications for clinical applications as well as future challenges.
