Introduction: Histone modifications are crucial epigenetic mechanisms for regulating gene expression. Histone acetyltransferases and deacetylases (HDACs) catalyze histone acetylation, a process that mediates transcription. Over recent decades, studies have demonstrated that targeting histone acetylation can be effective in cancer treatment, leading to the development and approval of several HDAC inhibitors.

The pathogenesis of RA is complex and involves interactions between articular cells, such as fibroblast-like synoviocytes, and immune cells. These cells secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, metalloproteinases and other molecules that together participate in joint degradation.

Dysregulated expression of ncRNAs alters gene expression, which is implicated in the pathogenesis of several malignancies and inflammatory diseases. Gastric cancer is the fifth most frequently diagnosed cancer and the fourth most common cause of cancer-related death.
