Graphical representation of CSCs epigenetic regulation. Histone modifications, DNA methylation, RNA methylartion and noncoding RNA molecules (lncRNAs and miRNAs) play important role in CSC biology and plasticity. a lncRNAs interplay between the various layers of epigenetic gene regulation such as histone modifiers or serving as ceRNAs for miRNAs; while miRNAs can act as anti- or pro-CSC regulators. b Histone-modifying enzymes act between CSCs and their non-CSC counterparts, such as HAT, EZH2, and HDAC. c The DNMT1 methyltransferase methylates CpG sites relate to methylation of genes vital for stemness feature, differentiation and quienscent of CSCs. d RNA methylation increase self-renewal of CSCs
