Abstract:Bromodomain and extra terminal domain (BET) family is one of bromodomain proteins, which is up-regulated in various tumors and involved in tumor pathogenesis by regulating cell growth, proliferation and differentiation, apoptosis and necrosis. Several BET inhibitors have been developed and clinically tested, the antitumor efficacy of BET inhibitor alone or in combination with existing drugs has been identified in different tumors types, so it may become a new target for tumor treatment. This paper summarizes the current knowledge of BETs and its inhibitors in tumor.
