The role of alcohol in carcinogenesis has received increasing attention in recent years. Evidence shows its impacts on various aspects, including epigenetics alteration. The DNA methylation patterns underlying alcohol-associated cancers are not fully understood. We investigated the aberrant DNA methylation patterns in four alcohol-associated cancers based on the Illumina HumanMethylation450 BeadChip. Pearson coefficient correlations were identified between differential methylated CpG probes and annotated genes. Transcriptional factor motifs were enriched and clustered using MEME Suite, and a regulatory network was constructed. In each cancer, differential methylated probes (DMPs) were identified, and 172 hypermethylated and 21 hypomethylated pan-cancer DMPs (PDMPs) were examined further. Annotated genes significantly regulated by PDMPs were investigated and enriched in transcriptional misregulation in cancers. The CpG island was hypermethylated in all four cancers and silenced in the transcription factor . Various biological effects were exerted by 33 hypermethylated and seven hypomethylated transcriptional factor motifs grouped into five clusters. Eleven pan-cancer DMPs were identified to be associated with clinical outcomes in the four alcohol-associated cancers, which might provide a potential point of view for clinical outcome prediction. This study provides an integrated insight into DNA methylation patterns in alcohol-associated cancers and reveals the corresponding features, influences, and potential mechanisms.

The pathogenesis of Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is complex, involving ethanol-induced enhancement of gut permeability results in the release of bacterial products from the intestine. This triggers intrahepatic inflammation and liver damage, with hepatic macrophages playing key roles in the inflammatory response to alcohol. SIRT7 a NAD-dependent type III histone deacetylase, is being recognized as a potential therapeutic target in various human diseases including cancer.

Background: It is necessary to find latent indicators to predict the survival of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) patients. Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) was regarded as an indicator of prognosis in several diseases. However, the relationships between LTL and survival as well as cause-specific mortality in ALD patients were still unknown.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major global burden, ranking as the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality. HCC due to chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) or C virus (HCV) infection has decreased due to universal vaccination for HBV and effective antiviral therapy for both HBV and HCV, but HCC related to metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is increasing. Biannual liver ultrasonography and serum α-fetoprotein are the primary surveillance tools for early HCC detection among high-risk patients (e.

Acetaldehyde is the primary metabolite of alcohol and is present in many environmental sources including tobacco smoke. Acetaldehyde is genotoxic, whereby it can form DNA adducts and lead to mutagenesis. Individuals with defects in acetaldehyde clearance pathways have increased susceptibility to alcohol-associated cancers.

Background: To investigate the trends in alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD), liver cancer from alcohol, and alcohol use disorder (AUD) burden among older adults in the United States (US).
Methods: We gathered the ALD, liver cancer from alcohol, and AUD prevalence, mortality, and age-standardized rates (ASRs) from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2021 between 2010 and 2021. We estimated the annual percent change (APC) with confidence intervals (CIs) for the burden of ALD, liver cancer from alcohol, and AUD in older adults (>70 years) in the United States.
