The role of epigenetics in the pathology of diabetic complications Villeneuve LM; Natarajan RAm J Physiol Renal Physiol 2010[Jul]; 299 (1): F14-25Diabetes is associated with significantly accelerated rates of several debilitating microvascular complications such as nephropathy, retinopathy, and neuropathy, and macrovascular complications such as atherosclerosis and stroke. While several studies have been devoted to the evaluation of genetic factors related to type 1 and type 2 diabetes and associated complications, much less is known about epigenetic changes that occur without alterations in the DNA sequence. Environmental factors and nutrition have been implicated in diabetes and can also affect epigenetic states. Exciting research has shown that epigenetic changes in chromatin can affect gene transcription in response to environmental stimuli, and changes in key chromatin histone methylation patterns have been noted under diabetic conditions. Reports also suggest that epigenetics may be involved in the phenomenon of metabolic memory observed in clinic trials and animal studies. Further exploration into epigenetic mechanisms can yield new insights into the pathogenesis of diabetes and its complications and uncover potential therapeutic targets and treatment options to prevent the continued development of diabetic complications even after glucose control has been achieved.|*Epigenesis, Genetic[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Blood Glucose/*metabolism[MESH]|Chromatin Assembly and Disassembly[MESH]|DNA Methylation[MESH]|Diabetes Complications/blood/*genetics[MESH]|Diabetic Angiopathies/blood/genetics[MESH]|Diabetic Nephropathies/blood/genetics[MESH]|Gene Expression Regulation[MESH]|Genetic Predisposition to Disease[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|MicroRNAs/metabolism[MESH]|Risk Factors[MESH]|Transcriptional Activation[MESH] |
